## Description

Accessibility Spring offers tools to enhance the accessibility of your site for 
visually impaired users. You can easily configure the sidebar’s appearance based
on your site’s design.
 We collect anonymous data upon plugin activation, limited
to enabled accessibility options, to enhance user experience and improve plugin 
functionality. Your privacy is important to us, and no personally identifiable information
is collected or shared.

## Screenshots

 * This is a sidebar with a default appearance.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory, or install the
    plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. Use the Accessibility Spring menu item in the WordPress sidebar to configure the
    plugin.

If you do not enable, at least, one option in the Accessibility Spring menu – your
sidebar on the site will be empty.
 I will be very grateful if you give me feedback
at sanchoclo@gmail.com. Just a few words, and we can make the world better.

## Changelog

#### 1.4.2

 * Checked compatibility with WordPress 6.6.2
 * Fixed the double-render issue for the icon and sidebar, which was breaking WordPress
   API responses. The solution now leverages the wp_body_open and wp_footer hooks.

#### 1.3.2

 * Checked compatibility with WordPress 5.9.3
 * Fixed reset font-size functionality

#### 1.3.1

 * Sidebar container is “sticky” by default
 * Removed “Change page size” option
 * Icon and sidebar corners are rounded a little by default
 * Fixed code that causes notices

#### 1.3

 * Fixed bug when all text on-site became unreadable, while the plugin is activated.
   
   It happened on sites, that haven’t declared charset explicitly. Now, plugin set
   charset to UTF-8.
 * Added possibility to scale page.
    I know (and some people wrote me about that),
   that functionality for changing font size works incorrectly. In fact, that works
   correctly, but only if you are using CSS REM or EM units (instead of pixels).
   Accessibility spring just changing the font size of element. After research, 
   I found a universal solution, and implement that in my plugin. Now, you can choose
   an approach that works better in your case – “Option to change font size” or “
   Option to scale page”. But I am still finding the best practice, and I hope that
   I will find the most universal solution for changing the size of text, even when
   your site is written with px, vh, %, pt, etc.

Special thanks to Anton from CSR Technology and Peter Smith

#### 1.2

 * Fixed bug when “handicap-icon” was displayed on wp-login page.
 * Added the possibility to change the close button’s color on the plugin setting
   page.
 * Added animation on hover to the buttons in the sidebar.
 * Rewritten text in sidebar, when all options are disabled. Added link to console
   in text for faster access.
 * Optimized space between some elements on plugin setting page. Control elements
   become a little bit compact.
 * Added the fourth icon to the list of standard icons.
 * Thanks for the feedback on this version to “elodiechatelais” and “Сергей Лебедев”.
