## Description

**WCAG Admin Accessibility Tools** provides a dual approach to accessibility improvements
in WordPress: practical diagnostic tools for admins and editors, and optional front-
end visual enhancements for users.

This plugin is designed to complement the WAVE browser extension by WebAIM by offering
tools that WAVE doesn’t cover or that we wanted to improve on. For a more complete
accessibility review, using both is recommended.

**Features:**
 – **Accessibility Admin Bar Tools:** Adds a front-end admin bar menu
with auto-check and toggleable visual checks for accessibility issues: – Missing
Alt Text – Poor Color Contrast (AA/AAA) – Vague Link Text (e.g. “click here”) – 
Improper Heading Hierarchy (e.g. skipping from H2 to H4) – Links Missing Underlines(
excluding buttons and navs) – **Skip to Content Link:** Inserts a visually hidden“
Skip to main content” link at the top of each page for improved keyboard navigation.–**
Alt Text Column & Inline Editing:** Adds an “Alt Text” column to the Media Library
list view, including an edit option for quickly updating missing or incorrect image
alt text. – **Additional Media Columns:** Adds columns for image dimensions, MIME
type (e.g. `image/png`, `application/zip`), and file size. – **Frontend Mode Switcher:**
Adds an accessibility mode switcher for Dark Mode, and Greyscale, optionally placed
as: – A floating toggle – A navigation menu item – A shortcode (`[wcagaat_modes]`)–**
Logo Swap in Dark Mode:** Optionally swap logos when dark mode is enabled. – **Custom
Visibility Rules:** Choose who can see the frontend mode switcher — everyone, logged-
in users, or just admins. – **Custom Vague Phrases:** Configure your own list of
vague link texts to scan for (e.g. “read more, learn more, click here”).

WCAG Admin Accessibility Tools gives you clear, actionable insights directly in 
the WordPress UI to improve accessibility compliance faster.

## Installation

    directory.

 3. Visit Tools > WCAG Admin Accessibility Tools

## FAQ

### Does this plugin automatically make my site accessible?

No — WCAG Admin Accessibility Tools is not a one-click solution. It offers some 
very basic enhancements and provides tools that help you identify and resolve common
accessibility issues more efficiently. We recommend also using the WAZE browser 
extension by WebAIM to identify further issues like missing aria labels, etc.

### Will this add a fully-ready Dark Mode to my site?

No. This plugin applies basic dark mode styling to standard elements and provides
tools to help you implement a dark mode. However, due to variations in theme structures
and styles, you will need to write additional custom CSS to ensure full compatibility
across your site.

### Why isn’t there a “High Contrast” mode?

High contrast requirements vary significantly depending on user needs and content
structure. Instead of enforcing a single high contrast scheme, this plugin provides
a color contrast checker and markup tools so you can evaluate and customize contrast
levels according to WCAG AA or AAA guidelines. If your site’s color contrast is 
implemented correctly, a separate “High Contrast” mode is unnecessary. For users
who prioritize stronger contrast, enabling AAA standards in the plugin settings 
is recommended.

### Where can I request features and get further support?

We recommend using our [website support forum](https://pluginrx.com/support/plugin/wcag-admin-accessibility-tools/)
as the primary method for requesting features and getting help. You can also reach
out via our [Discord support server](https://discord.gg/3HnzNEJVnR) or the [WordPress.org support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wcag-admin-accessibility-tools/),
but please note that WordPress.org doesn’t always notify us of new posts, so it’s
not ideal for time-sensitive issues.
