Free fixers (13)¶
All thirteen are included in A11yScanFix Free.
On the Fixers screen they are grouped as Page structure, Forms & search, Links & buttons, and Cleanup. Toggle labels below match the plugin exactly.
| Group | Toggle | What it does | WCAG |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page structure | Enable skip links | Adds a "Skip to main content" link as the first focusable element so keyboard users can bypass the navigation. | 2.4.1 |
| Enable focus outlines | Adds a visible focus indicator to every interactive element so keyboard users see what is selected. | 2.4.7 | |
| Add lang and dir to <html> | Sets the page language and text direction from the site settings, so screen readers pronounce correctly and right-to-left languages render properly. | 3.1.1 | |
| Forms & search | Add label to WordPress search form | Adds a screen-reader-only label to the WP search input when the theme hides the visible label. | 1.3.1 |
| Add labels to the comment form | Adds accessible names to the Name, Email, Website and Comment fields when the theme leaves them unlabelled. | 1.3.1 / 4.1.2 | |
| Show search results page on empty search | Forces WordPress to render the search results template when the query is empty. | - | |
| Links & buttons | Label links opening a new window | Adds an "(opens in new tab)" screen-reader label and a small icon to links with target="_blank". | 3.2.5 |
| Flag links to documents (PDF, Word...) | Appends "(PDF)", "(Word)", "(Excel)" - plus the file size for files on this site - to links pointing at non-HTML files. | 3.2.4 | |
| Underline non-navigation links | Underlines content links (skipping menus and button-styled links) so colour-blind users can tell links from text. | 1.4.1 | |
| Add controls to autoplay videos | Forces playback controls onto every autoplaying video that ships without them. | 2.2.2 / 1.4.2 | |
| Cleanup | Remove positive tabindex values | Forces every tabindex greater than 0 back to tabindex="0" so the natural focus order is restored. | 2.4.3 |
| Remove redundant title attributes | Strips title="..." when it just duplicates the visible text or aria-label. | 4.1.2 | |
| Make viewport scalable | Rewrites the viewport meta tag so users can pinch-zoom. | 1.4.4 / 1.4.10 |
