Klaro Admin Accessibility

Àpèjúwe

Klaro Admin Accessibility helps users with visual, motor, or cognitive disabilities work in the WordPress admin area. It is the companion plugin to the Klaro accessibility-first theme, but it targets the WordPress core admin and works with any theme.

Features

• High contrast admin Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Black background with white text throughout the admin area, including the admin menu, toolbar, tables, and forms.
• Large admin text Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – 18px base text, larger form fields, and 44px minimum button height for easier reading and clicking.
• Enhanced focus indicators Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Highly visible 3px outlines on every focused link, button, and form field, meeting the 3:1 contrast requirement for UI controls.
• Reduce motion Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Suppresses admin animations and transitions for users whose operating system does not expose a reduced-motion preference.
• Simplify admin menu Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Hides the Tools and Comments menus for non-administrator users, removes secondary dashboard widgets, and switches the dashboard to a single column, reducing cognitive load.
• Classic editor toggle Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Replaces the block editor with the classic editor, which some assistive technology users find easier to navigate. Defers to the Classic Editor plugin when that is active.

All settings are site-wide and live under Settings > Admin Accessibility.

What WordPress already provides

The WordPress admin already ships keyboard shortcuts, screen reader landmarks, a “Skip to main content” link, and honors your operating systemÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s reduced-motion preference. This plugin adds options on top of those built-in features instead of duplicating them.
