Overview

This plug-in helps with a variety of common accessibility problems in WordPress themes. While most accessibility issues can’t be addressed without directly changing your theme, WP Accessibility adds a number of helpful accessibility features with a minimum amount of setup or expert knowledge.

WP Accessibility is not intended to make your site compatible with any accessibility guidelines.

All features can be disabled according to your theme’s needs. For advanced users, all of the functions based on modifying stylesheets can be customized using your own custom styles by placing the appropriate stylesheet in your theme directory.

Nice Plugin
by Jan·4 months ago

Works well

title from links removed with elementor
by FonzieTheDog·6 months ago

Hi
great plugin.
However some links get their title attribute removed If I enable the plugin. This thing causes a 4 points page speed accessibility drop.
Ater disabling the pluging the titles are back and accessibility is bach to 95.

note: “Remove title attributes from: Tag clouds” is unchecked. The links are not tags anyway. They come from Elementor IconBox

Generous and helpful
by Christina Blust·3 years ago·1 reply

This plugin knows there is no one-stop solution for accessibility, and it quietly works in the background to make some standard things better in the ways that it can. We install this on every client site and greatly appreciate its features as part of an overall culture of having an accessibility-focused mindset.
