Accessibility Statement Feature Plugin

A plugin to automatically generate the structure of an accessibility statement for a WordPress website. This plugin replicates the look and functionality of the Privacy Policy tool already found in WordPress.

Getting started

Requirements:

• Git

1. git clone git@github.com:10degrees/accessibility-statement-plugin.git accessibility-statement-generator into wp-content/plugins
2. Activate the 'Accessibility Statement Generator' plugin in your Admin area.
3. Go to Settings > Accessibility to generate your accessibility statement.

Features

1. Generate the basic structure of an accessibility statement for a site in a single click (content from https://www.w3.org/WAI/planning/statements/generator/#create) or:
2. Choose which page to use as the accessibility statement.
3. Display an 'Accessibility Statement Page' tag next to the accessibility statement page when viewing all pages.

This plugin does not generate a full accessibility statement. It instead provides a page with useful headings and prompts to be used to understand what content an accessibility statement should contain.

Branches

advanced-version

Initially we are focusing on the 'basic' version of the feature plugin (in the master branch), which replicates the Privacy Policy tool. In the advanced-version branch you can find a version of the plugin where the accessibility statement is generated using data inputted by the user.

To view this version of the plugin:

1. git fetch origin advanced-version
2. git checkout advanced-version

This version of the plugin has no build tooling, e.g. Gulp or Webpack, and so its JavaScript may not function on older browsers e.g. IE11.
