The WordPress plugin

Before you start

The plugin is not on WordPress.org yet, so it is installed directly rather than from the plugin search. You need administrator access to the site and an AbleGuard account.

Install and connect

1. Upload and activate the AbleGuard plugin.
2. Open AbleGuard → Settings and paste your API key.
3. Run the first scan from the dashboard. Scanning happens on our servers, not your host.
4. Review the findings, approve the fixes you want, and let the re-check confirm them on the live page.

Understand the admin area

• Dashboard — the current state of the site: findings by risk, what is fixed, what is waiting on you.
• Fixes — each proposed change, what it alters, and the approve control. Nothing is applied from here without you.
• Alt text — suggestions written back into the media library once approved, so they belong to your site rather than to us.
• Evidence — the dated record of what was found, what was changed and what was re-measured.

Builder rule packs

Rule packs describe the markup a specific builder generates, so a fix can be aimed at the right element. Two packs exist today: SeedProd and WPConsent. Others are roadmap items, and are labelled that way rather than implied.

What the plugin will not do

• It does not edit your theme files.
• It does not apply anything you have not approved.
• It does not send email alerts yet. Alerts are dashboard-only today; email is on the roadmap.
