Changelog

What changed, release by release.

The release history of the reala11y WordPress plugin — every new check, fix, and improvement as it shipped. The same changelog travels with the plugin in its readme on WordPress.org.

v1.2.1 Optional support link Latest

  • Added a “Buy me a coffee” support link on the Plugins screen and the plugin page — an optional donation; no data is sent.

v1.2.0 Whole-site scanning and fixing

  • Scan your whole site in one click. A new “Scan whole site” button queues a scan for every published post and page, and you can schedule recurring scans (daily or weekly) so new content keeps getting checked automatically.
  • Fix your whole site in one click. A new “Fix whole site” button applies every safe, code-level fix across all your published content at once. Each change is logged and reversible with one-click undo, and Safe Mode pauses every fix instantly.
  • Bulk alt text from the Media Library. See every image missing alt text in one place, then review and apply descriptions — optionally drafted with your own AI key — without hunting through individual posts.
  • Six new checks, 22 in total: iframe titles, data-table headers, video captions, empty headings, list structure, and adjacent links to the same destination.
  • Applied fixes now clear themselves from your list: when a fix resolves an issue, that issue leaves the active list automatically. Plus broader inline-fix coverage and an accessibility pass over the admin screens.

v1.1.0 Inline fixes

  • Fix issues inline, right where you see them. On a flagged issue — in the Issues list or the on-page checker — you can type and apply the fix in one step: image alt text, descriptive text for vague links, accessible names for icon-only buttons and links, and form-field labels.
  • Colour-contrast fixer: pick or auto-suggest an accessible text/background pair and apply it, with a live contrast ratio and WCAG AA pass/fail.
  • Heading-level fixer: re-level a heading that skips a step, with an optional bring-your-own-key AI outline suggestion.
  • New render-time theme-output fixes, off by default: a site-wide skip link, a visible keyboard-focus outline, a minimum target size, a main landmark, and restore-zoom. These inject real code (not an overlay) and are gated by Safe Mode; with the feature off, visitors get a byte-identical page.
  • Every fix is reversible with one-click undo and is logged.

v1.0.1 Listing refresh

  • Real admin screenshots, clearer and more discoverable readme copy, and visible project links. No functional code changes.

v1.0.0 First public release

  • Scanner: 16 WCAG 2.2 rules across posts, pages, and rendered theme output.
  • Auto-fix engine: safe, reversible, code-level fixes with per-fix toggles, one-click undo, and a Safe Mode kill-switch.
  • Inspect on page: an author-only annotated overlay on the live site (logged-in editors only; visitors never see it).
  • Dismiss issues with a structured reason and reopen them later.
  • Colour Contrast Tester in the new Tools screen.
  • BYOK AI authoring suite: bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini key — you pay your provider directly, never us.
  • Accessibility statement generator, VPAT starter, and compliance report.
  • Encrypted API-key storage and a clean uninstall.

v0.6.0 First public release candidate

  • Scanner: 12 WCAG 2.2 rules across posts, pages, and rendered theme output.
  • Auto-fix engine: safe, reversible, code-level fixes with per-fix toggles and one-click undo.
  • “Scan this post” button in the block-editor sidebar; scan any post or same-site URL from the Scans screen.
  • BYOK AI authoring suite: bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini key — you pay your provider directly, never us.
  • Accessibility statement generator, VPAT starter, and compliance report.
  • Encrypted API-key storage and a clean uninstall.
