A11y Kit

Descrição

This plugin offers you the possibility to show people accessibility configurations in your menu. This means that everyone, including people with disabilities, will be able to configure the settings (contrast, font-size, coloration, …) that help them be able to use your website.

Here is a demo.
Follow the evolution of the plugin trough the Github repository.

In order to make the plugin works, you need to create a menu first.
In your menu, you simply need to add a CSS class in this way “wpak_DISABILITY_PROPERTY”.

Where to add the CSS class mentioned above ?
– In the menu you’re in (Appearance > Menus > name_of_your_menu), you first click on an item you want to have the ability to change the state (accessibility menu item).
– Then, you should have the field “CSS Classes (optional)”. Inside this field, you can add the class in this way : “wpak_DISABILITY_PROPERTY” (see examples from the pre-configured classes below).
– If the field “CSS Classes (optional)” is not visible, you just have to look for the “Screen Options” button in the top-right corner of the page. Then, search for the checkbox “CSS Classes” which should be checked in order for the field to be visible. Finally, return to the field and add your class.

List of the pre-configured classes

Coloration

  • “wpak_color_normal” (normal state)
  • “wpak_color_dark” (dark mode)
  • “wpak_color_monochrome” (shades of gray, monochrome)
  • “wpak_color_highcontrast” (high contrast)
  • “wpak_color_lowsaturation” (low saturation)
  • “wpak_color_highsaturation” (high saturation)

  • “wpak_dyslexia_comicsans” (Comic Sans font-family)
  • “wpak_dyslexia_arial” (Arial font-family)

Add an icon instead of text

You can use the field for the title to add HTML code. With HTML code, it is possible to add
– An image: <img src="link_of_your_image.png" alt="name_of_property" />
– An icon from FontAwesome or any library you want to include: <i class="fas fa-adjust"></i>

  • Font-size: <i class="fas fa-font" title="Change the font-size of the site"></i>
  • Font-family: <i class="fas fa-pencil-alt" title="Change the font-family of the site"></i>
  • Letter-spacing: <i class="fas fa-text-width" title="Change the letter-spacing of the site"></i>
  • Line-height: <i class="fas fa-text-height" title="Change the line-height of the site"></i>

Overwritte accessibility settings (styles)

In the plugin directory, there’s a file SAMPLE/style-a11y.css that contains all the CSS variables used to style the different accessibility settings of the plugin. It is possible to overwritte those variables by adding this file to the root of your theme.

  1. You need to download the style-a11y.css
  2. You add the file to the root of your theme (or child-theme)
  3. You add this code to your style.css @import “style-a11y.css”;

I tried to use this plugin but it needs better instructions. Simply add class “wpak_DISABILITY_PROPERTY” to what? To where? Not to the menu as there is no place to do that. Please be more explicit with instructions. Also “Deletion failed:” so there is something wrong with the ability to delete the plug from the WordPress site.
