learn more<\/a>) adds automation on top: scheduled automatic scans, a PDF conformance report, score history monitoring, and multisite support. Everything in this free version \u2014 including full-site scanning \u2014 stays fully functional without it.<\/p>\n\nHinweis (DE): Dieses Plugin ist ein ehrliches Audit-Werkzeug f\u00fcr WordPress-Seiten. Es pr\u00fcft dein gerendertes HTML auf WCAG-2.2- und BFSG-Probleme, zeigt priorisierte Fehler mit L\u00f6sungshinweisen und erzeugt eine Barrierefreiheitserkl\u00e4rung (BFSG-Vorlage). Die Benutzeroberfl\u00e4che ist auf Deutsch verf\u00fcgbar.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n- Upload the
kipphard-accessibility-audit<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install it from the Plugins screen in your WordPress admin.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the \"Plugins\" menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
- Go to Accessibility \u2192 Dashboard<\/strong> and click \"Run scan\".<\/li>\n
- Under Accessibility \u2192 Statement<\/strong>, fill in your contact details and conformance status to generate the accessibility statement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDoes this plugin make my site accessible automatically?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. This is an audit tool, not an overlay. It shows you where accessibility problems are and gives concrete fix guidance, but the actual work \u2014 adding alt text to images, labelling forms correctly, building a sensible heading hierarchy \u2014 has to be done by you or your development team. No automated tool can guarantee or create full WCAG conformance; anyone claiming otherwise is misleading you.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Which WCAG version is checked?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe plugin targets WCAG 2.2 level AA, as required by the BFSG. The currently implemented rules cover the most common and most reliably auto-detectable issues.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How many pages are scanned?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAll of them: the scan covers your homepage plus every published page and post. Very large sites are capped at 200 URLs per run \u2014 a performance safeguard, not a feature limit.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is any data sent to external servers?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. All scans run locally on your own server. No data is sent to any third party.<\/p><\/dd>\n
The scan returns no results or fails. What can I do?<\/h3><\/dt>\nMake sure your site is reachable from itself (no password protection, no \"Coming soon\" mode). The plugin fetches your own URLs internally over HTTP. Also check that the PHP dom<\/code> and libxml<\/code> extensions are available.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhat is the accessibility statement (Barrierefreiheitserkl\u00e4rung)?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe BFSG requires certain providers to publish a public accessibility statement from 28 June 2025. The plugin generates a template of this statement that you should adapt to your situation and have reviewed by a lawyer.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
0.4.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: admin styles now load on the Statement and Settings pages (not only the dashboard). Corrected outdated settings-page text that still described a page-count limit; the scan covers all published pages and posts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.4.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Full-site scanning is available to everyone (no page-count limit); Pro adds automatic scheduling, not broader scope. Renamed all internal option\/shortcode\/hook names to a unique plugin-specific prefix.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.4.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Renamed to Kipphard Accessibility Audit. The free version is now fully functional with no license-gated features; premium features (scheduled scans, PDF export, score history, multisite) are available as a separate plugin. Removed the Custom CSS field; all design options are now free.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.4<\/h4>\n\n\n- Code-quality pass for WordPress Plugin Check: slug-prefixed global constants, filter and variables; removed the redundant text-domain loader; annotated read-only display reads. No functional changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.3<\/h4>\n\n\n- WordPress.org Plugin Check compliance: single slug-matching text domain, fixed translators comment placement, removed debug logging, tidier readme. No functional changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.2<\/h4>\n\n\n- English plugin title and WordPress.org-ready readme. No functional changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.1<\/h4>\n\n\n- Shared Kipphard design system (kip-ui) for a consistent, theme-safe look; German (de_DE) translation of the appearance settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.3.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Accessibility statement rendered in the shared design system; admin polish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.2.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- English source baseline with a German (de_DE) translation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
0.1.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- Initial release.<\/li>\n
