FAQ
-
Will this plugin make my site βfully accessibleβ?
-
Absolutely not. There is no quick fix for accessibility, this plugin is to be used to highlight any potential accessibility issues to your content creators.
-
Will this be visible to the public?
-
No. By default, issues will only be highlighted to anyone who is logged in. You can also stop any particular user role from seeing the highlighting in the settings page. ( for example: if you have WooCommerce, you might want to deselect βCustomersβ from seeing the highlights ).
