About jwp-a11y
From the official readme · v5.3.4Description
jwp-a11y checks the accessibility of WordPress post content while you edit and save posts.
It helps editors notice accessibility issues earlier in the writing workflow and keeps legacy public result pages available through the existing [jwp_a11y_results] shortcode.
This version focuses on three practical tasks:
- checking post content with
jidaikobo/a11ycwhile editing, - showing previously saved public result pages through
[jwp_a11y_results], - providing reading material for understanding accessibility criteria through the admin tools page and
[jwp_a11y_doc].
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/jwp-a11ydirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Run
composer installin the plugin directory if you deploy from source. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Edit a post and save it to run the accessibility check.
