Accessibility widget WordPress

The DockAccess Accessibility Widget plugin adds the accessibility widget to every page of your WordPress site. Once connected to your DockAccess account, it shows in the WordPress admin whether the widget works, which plan you have and how many widget views were used this month.

What the widget offers

Visitors open the widget with its button and adjust the page to their needs:

• contrast, colours and saturation,
• text size, letter spacing and line height,
• a font for people with dyslexia and reading aloud,
• turning animations off and a larger cursor,
• ready-made profiles, among others for people who are blind or have low vision, colour blindness, dyslexia, epilepsy or ADHD.

Simple setup

You set the widget's look, the accessibility options and the accessibility statement in your DockAccess account, on the site's Accessibility widget tab. You connect the plugin to the account in Settings → Accessibility Widget with the site token and the e-mail address and password of your DockAccess account.

Privacy

The widget collects no personal data of visitors. Only the IP address and the user agent are recorded to count views. Your DockAccess password is used only once, to connect; the plugin does not store it.

For your visitors

The widget appears on every page with the plugin on. Visitors open it with its button or with Ctrl + U, and the widget remembers their choices on the next visit.

Settings in your account

In your DockAccess account, pick the site in My sites and open its Accessibility widget tab. There you set the colours, the position and size of the button (also separately for narrow screens), the maximum zoom, the features and profiles on offer, your own selectors and the accessibility statement. The preview shows a change before you save it, and the plugin does not have to be installed again.

Status

In WordPress, Settings → Accessibility Widget shows whether the widget works, which plan you have and how many views were used this month. It shows the widget as working after the first visit to the site.

Domains and the limit

The widget works on the domains of the site in your account, so add every address the website runs under. The free plan covers 5,000 widget views a month for all the sites of the account. Once they are used up, the widget does not show until the 1st of the next month or until a plan with a higher limit is active.

Caching and consent plugins

Plugins that optimise or block scripts, such as LiteSpeed Cache or Consent Manager, can stop the widget's script. The Knowledge base articles tab shows how to leave it out of their work.
