What the author says it does
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.
Theme Accessibility Features added by WP Accessibility
These are features that address issues caused by inaccessible themes.
- Add skip links with user-defined targets. (Customizable targets and appearance.)
- Add language and text direction attributes to your HTML attribute if missing.
- Add an outline to the keyboard focus state for focusable elements.
- Add labels to standard WordPress form fields (search, comments)
- Add post titles to “read more” links.
- Remove tabindex from elements that are focusable.
- Remove user-scalable=no and maximum-scale=1 to allow resizing.
WordPress Core Accessibility Issues fixed by WP Accessibility
The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Questions the author answers
WP Accessibility is inserting some information via javascript. Is this really accessible?
Yes. It does require that the user is operating a device that has javascript support, but that encompasses the vast majority of devices and browsers today, including screen readers.
I installed WP Accessibility and ran some tests, but I’m still getting errors WP Accessibility is supposed to correct.
Even if WP Accessibility is running correctly, not all accessibility testing tools will be aware of the fixes. Here’s a resource for more information: Mother Effing Tool Confuser.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
