WordPress Accessibility Audit

Use this when making a WordPress plugin, admin page, frontend feature, or classic theme accessible. The target baseline is WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA, matching WordPress' stated accessibility commitment. AAA is encouraged where practical, but do not claim full AAA unless every relevant AAA criterion has been audited.

This skill is not a legal certification. It is an implementation and review checklist for code.

When to Use This Skill

• The task says accessibility, a11y, WCAG, screen reader, keyboard, akadalymentesites, ARIA, or accessible forms.
• Reviewing admin screens, settings pages, metaboxes, list tables, media frames, custom dialogs, AJAX UI, or frontend shortcode output.
• Adding labels/help text/errors for fields.
• Fixing color contrast, focus visibility, target sizes, font sizing, reduced motion, or hover-only interactions.
• Making live updates announce through wp.a11y.speak().
