外掛說明
BarrierForge scans the rendered front end of your WordPress site for common accessibility barriers. Results appear in a filterable Fix Queue with severity, WCAG level, affected elements, page links, and suggested next steps.
BarrierForge includes:
- Rendered-page scanning for up to 250 published public posts and pages.
- Checks for missing image alt attributes, empty links and buttons, generic link text, positive tabindex values, skipped heading levels, text contrast, and small touch targets.
- WCAG level and success-criterion references for each supported check.
- Administrator-only links that locate and highlight affected elements on the front end.
- Manual review and remediation tracking for small touch targets; unsafe automatic touch-target resizing is disabled.
- Opt-in sitewide enhancements for page language, a keyboard skip link, and visible keyboard focus.
- Remediation history and progress reporting that distinguishes open and resolved findings.
Automated testing finds only some accessibility barriers. BarrierForge does not guarantee conformance with WCAG or any law, and it does not replace manual testing or testing with people with disabilities.
安裝方式
- Upload the BarrierForge ZIP from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, or install it from the WordPress.org Plugin Directory.
- Activate BarrierForge.
- Open BarrierForge in the WordPress admin menu.
- Select Scan rendered pages to create the first Fix Queue.
- Review each finding before applying a fix or changing site content.
常見問題集
-
Does BarrierForge make my site legally compliant?
-
No. Automated tools cannot establish legal compliance or complete WCAG conformance. BarrierForge identifies a limited set of common barriers and helps administrators review them.
-
Does a scan change my content?
-
No. Scanning is read-only. The optional sitewide enhancements are opt-in and do not rewrite post content. Touch-target Auto Fix is disabled for safety; flagged elements require manual remediation.
-
Does BarrierForge send site data to an external service?
-
No. Scans run between the WordPress administration screen and pages on the same site. Scan results, remediation records, settings, and local usage counters are stored in the site’s WordPress database and are not transmitted by BarrierForge to an external service.
-
What data is removed when I delete the plugin?
-
Deleting BarrierForge through the WordPress Plugins screen removes its scan results, settings, remediation records, and local usage counters.
-
Why can a page or element fail to scan or highlight?
-
Security headers, authentication rules, caching, or dynamically generated markup can prevent a rendered page from loading in the scanner or can change an element after a scan. BarrierForge preserves existing findings when a page cannot be loaded and reports when a saved element can no longer be found.
-
Are all WCAG success criteria tested?
-
No. WCAG levels and criterion numbers identify the standards related to checks that BarrierForge supports. Many WCAG requirements require human judgment and manual testing.
