Scanning in the editor¶
A11yScanFix checks a single post or page right where you write it, so problems are caught before you publish.
Block Editor sidebar¶
While editing a post or page, open the A11yScanFix panel from the editor's top-right plugin menu (the eye icon). It is headed "Accessibility scan results for this post."
A scan runs when you save the post. Until then the panel shows "No scan data yet. Save the post to run a scan." After a save it shows:
- a summary - "N issues found" (or "✓ No issues found") and "Last scan: <date and time>";
- filter tabs by impact - All (n), Critical, Serious, Moderate, Minor;
- the list of issues; click one to highlight it in the editor;
- Refresh reloads the saved results, and View post on front-end opens the live page.
Dismissing individual issues from the sidebar is a PRO feature.

Show the panel open next to a post, with a few issues listed.
Front-end highlighter¶
On the front end, logged-in users who can edit posts see an A11yScanFix button in the top admin bar (tooltip: "Run accessibility scan on this page"). Click it to scan the page you are viewing - the button reads "Scanning..." while it runs - then issues are marked directly on the rendered page. A floating round launcher button in a screen corner is also available, and can be repositioned or turned off in Settings.
Scan on save / publish PRO¶
PRO feature
In Pro, content is re-checked automatically when you Save or Publish, so the sidebar stays current without a manual scan.
