WordPress Accessibility Plugins

A growing collection of free WordPress accessibility plugins, each built to WCAG 2.2 AA and tested with real screen readers. No overlays, no tracking, no paid tiers.

Accessible Login — one of Ananyoo's WordPress accessibility plugins, WCAG 2.2 AA

Live on WordPress.org

Accessible Login

Free · GPLv2 · WordPress 5.9+ · PHP 7.4+

A complete replacement for the default WordPress login, lost-password and registration screens — fully WCAG AA compliant, mobile-friendly, with 10 hand-tuned accessible color palettes, custom backend URL, logo upload, and developer-friendly versioning. It installs cleanly, inherits your branding, and never tracks users or phones home. Versioned releases and a clear changelog keep updates predictable for developers and agencies.

Accessible Carousel & Slider — a WordPress accessibility plugin for the block editor, WCAG 2.2 AA

Live on WordPress.org

Accessible Carousel & Slider

Free · GPLv2 · WordPress 6.5+ · PHP 7.4+

Two accessibility-first Gutenberg blocks — a hero carousel / slider and a card scroller — built to WCAG AA. Use it as an accessible carousel, slider, or slideshow with keyboard-operable controls, a visible pause/stop, no auto-advance by default, reduced-motion support, six designed patterns, and a readable fallback with JavaScript off. Both blocks come with sensible accessible defaults, so the quickest path to build is also the conformant one. It is a no-build, vanilla-JavaScript plugin, so it stays lightweight and the code you ship is the code that actually runs.

Accessible Forms — a WordPress accessibility plugin for accessible contact forms, WCAG 2.2 AA

Live on WordPress.org

Accessible Forms

Free · GPLv2 · WordPress 6.5+ · PHP 7.4+

An accessibility-first contact form for the block editor — build forms that are WCAG AA compliant without hand-wiring any ARIA. Every field has a real label with fieldset and legend grouping, validation errors appear both in a focus-managed summary and inline beside each field, and entries are stored safely in your own WordPress database. Spam is handled with a honeypot and timing check plus optional Cloudflare Turnstile — with no third-party scripts, tracking or phone-home. Drop a form in with the block or a shortcode, and the accessible defaults make the quickest build the conformant one.

Accessible Portfolio — a WordPress accessibility plugin for accessible project grids, WCAG 2.2 AA

Live on WordPress.org

Accessible Portfolio

Free · GPLv2 · WordPress 6.5+ · PHP 7.4+

An accessibility-first way to showcase your work — a WCAG AA project grid with real alt text on every image, category filters that are real buttons and announce their results to screen readers, full keyboard support with a visible focus ring, and a layout that reflows to the smallest phone. Items are stored in your own WordPress database, with no trackers and no external calls. Place it with the block or a shortcode, and the accessible defaults make the quickest build the conformant one.

The difference

Why our WordPress accessibility plugins are different

Most accessibility plugins are built without a close reading of WCAG. Ours are built by an accessibility consultant who audits sites for WCAG conformance for a living — so conformance is designed in from the start, not guessed at near the end. That shows up in the details automated scanners miss and real audits catch: focus order, names and roles, colour contrast and motion handling.

WCAG AA by default

Accessible defaults out of the box, with customization options bounded so common pitfalls are avoided by design. You get accessible output without having to memorise the specification yourself.

Tested with real users

JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack. Keyboard-only. 400 % zoom. Forced-colors. Real assistive tech, not just automated scans — every release is exercised by hand.

Built by an expert

Shivaji Mitra, Accessibility Consultant since 2003. Every plugin reflects two decades of real-world audit experience across business, government and education sites.

No dark patterns

No “accessibility overlay” gimmicks. No tracking. No phone-home. Just working accessible code you can audit yourself.

Custom work

Need an accessibility-focused plugin built for you?

If you have a specific WCAG conformance requirement that off-the-shelf plugins don’t solve, Ananyoo builds custom WordPress accessibility solutions for businesses, government and education sites. From a single accessible component to a full set of WordPress accessibility plugins tailored to your stack, the work is built and tested to the same WCAG AA standard. Every engagement includes a manual audit with assistive technology and a written remediation list, so you can see exactly what changed and why. Most engagements begin with a short scoping call and a fixed, written quote before any work starts.

FAQ

WordPress Accessibility Plugins — Frequently Asked Questions

What are Ananyoo’s WordPress accessibility plugins?

They are small, focused WordPress accessibility plugins — Accessible Login, Accessible Carousel & Slider, Accessible Forms and Accessible Portfolio — each built to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA out of the box. They add accessible building blocks such as login screens, carousels, contact forms and project grids to any WordPress site, so people who use screen readers, keyboards or screen magnification can use your site without barriers.

Are the plugins really free?

Yes. Every plugin is free and released under the GPLv2 licence on WordPress.org. There are no paid tiers, no locked features, no trackers and no “accessibility overlay” gimmicks — what you install is exactly what you can read and audit yourself.

How are the plugins tested for accessibility?

Each release is checked against WCAG 2.2 and Section 508 with automated tools plus real manual testing — JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack, keyboard-only operation, 400% zoom and forced-colors mode. Automated scans catch only a fraction of issues, so every plugin is exercised by hand before it ships.

Will the plugins work with my existing theme?

Yes. The plugins add accessible building blocks to any standard WordPress theme, so you can improve accessibility even if you are not using one of our accessible themes. For a fully accessible foundation, you can pair them with our WCAG 2.2 AA WordPress ADA-compliance theme.

Do the plugins collect or share any data?

No. There is no tracking and no phone-home. Form entries and portfolio items are stored safely in your own WordPress database, with no external calls or third-party scripts, so your visitors’ data stays on your own site.

Can you build a custom plugin or fix my existing site?

Absolutely. Alongside these ready-made WordPress accessibility plugins we build custom accessible components, and through our website accessibility audit and accessibility remediation services we can bring your existing website up to WCAG 2.2 AA too.
