]]>I’m guessing the feature I’d like to add is a bit tricky, but it would help disabled Activitypub users access content from WordPress. Basically, if there’s a way to transfer the “alt text” content for images from WordPress into a format Activitypub can read, that would be awesome. Even without this, I will definitely be using this plugin on a “real” website in the future (the link I provided is just a test page).
]]>Can we make the default text on www.remarpro.com and wordpress.com a sans-serif type of font (ex. Arial, Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Avenir)? For people with dyslexia, serif fonts (ex. Times New Roman, Georgia, Baskerville, Garamond, Rockwell) are harder to read than sans-serif fonts. This fix would make both editing and reading any WordPress site much easier for many people. I have noticed on my wordpress.com site that, although I set the text on my published site to be sans-serif, the text in my editor is still a serif font. I would make this change myself, but I don’t know how to code. (Hopefully, I will have time to learn some day–teacher schedules are insane.)
As a note on my background: I do not have dyslexia myself. I am an educator who has studied this topic and worked with students with dyslexia. I also had a job editing documents to make them web accessible according to section 508** guidelines. I would love to have input on these suggestions from people with dyslexia.
Other helpful changes:
1) Provide a notice when users choose a serif-type font — I would love for users to receive a notice when they choose a serif type font that says choosing a serif font may make it more difficult for some users to read. From my understanding of how font types affect people with dyslexia, using a serif font will not have as much of an effect in headings because the size of the text is so much bigger, and it tends to only have one line of text instead of multiple.
2) Accessible Themes Sticker/Search — Add a tag for accessible themes, give priority to accessible themes in the search bar (they would show up at the top of any search), and add an accessible sticker to the top right corner of all accessible
3) Accessible Type/Font Button — This one would be a lot harder, but would be very helpful. Site readers would have the option to change all font to a sans-serif type (I really like open sans, but another sans-serif font would work just as well). Other things this button could do to help would be to space lines apart (auto double space), and to automatically make the minimum font size 12pt (which is the suggested minimum according to section 508** guidelines).

]]>I am outraged that 98% of all websites blatantly discriminate against those who need a specific text and background colour combination (yellow background and black text, as one example). I refused to use wordpress on my website for the longest time because I DO accommodate, and even have an option where if people write me with a specific request, I’ll create the colour combo for them, and give them a page to go to in order to get their needed colour choices to work on my website for all pages. By the way, if there was a way to accommodate those who need each letter of text to be a different colour, I would! (These people also exist. To my knowledge, only 1 website accommodates them.)
Thanks!
(ps. I’m still working on my website and getting it online. I am trying to use one plugin that might help me with this, but I still need wordpress to offer this feature as a automatic option that is ALWAYS current no matter which version number wordpress is on.)
