Visitor controls and site-owner tools

WP Accessibility Helper Pro adds an accessibility sidebar for users and settings for site owners. Visitors can adjust how content appears; site owners can review page details and configure show and structure controls. The extension can support accessibility work, but it does not guarantee a fully accessible result at any level, including A, AA, or AAA. Results also depend on the quality of the site code.

Choose a font resizing method

Font resizing is available through REM units, zoom, or a script. Use REM resizing only when the theme is built with REM units. Zoom can help when a site uses mixed or unclear sizing. The script option calculates font sizes for headings h1 through h6 and links; it includes a reset button.

• Contrast modes with custom colors, Lights Off mode, and dark and light themes
• Greyscale pictures and settings to invert colors and images
• Readable Font, which switches to Arial, and web-safe font family settings
• Options to underline or highlight links and remove CSS animations
• Settings to position the sidebar on the left or right and hide it on mobile devices

Scan page content and structure

The DOM Scanner checks pages and posts for accessibility-related details, including picture alt information, link roles, and link titles. An attachments control center uses AJAX functions to manage images, attachment titles, and alt tags. Other settings can add role="link" to anchor elements, remove title attributes from links, and configure HTML5 landmarks.

Keyboard and sidebar settings

Press Alt+Z to open the accessibility sidebar and Alt+X to close it. The extension also provides skip links, including one inside the sidebar. Site owners can reorder sidebar widgets with drag and drop, and select whether to save contrast selections in user cookies or clear those selections.

Install and check theme integration

Install and activate the plugin through WordPress, then configure it from the Accessibility screen. If the accessibility icon does not appear, check that the theme includes wp_head(), wp_footer(), and body_class(). Test the font, contrast, keyboard, link, image, and landmark settings on representative pages. Expert review can help assess accessibility beyond the controls provided by the plugin.
