## Description
**LivQ AccessFix – EAA & A11y AutoFix** applies WCAG 2.2 AA and European Accessibility
Act (EAA) remediations automatically, intercepting the full rendered HTML via PHP
output buffering before it reaches the browser – not after, not via JavaScript overlay.
Every module can be independently enabled or disabled from **Settings LivQ AccessFix**.
### Why server-side matters
JS-based accessibility overlays (widgets, injected scripts) patch the DOM after
the browser renders it. The original HTML – the one Google indexes, axe-core audits,
and screen readers without JS see – remains unmodified. LivQ AccessFix fixes the
source HTML itself, so the correction is real, not cosmetic.
### Frontend Modules
**External Link Labelling (WCAG 2.4.4)**
Intercepts the entire rendered page via
PHP output buffer and appends a visually-hidden screen-reader notice to every `<
a target="_blank">` link. Also merges `rel="noopener noreferrer"` into existing `
rel` values to prevent reverse tab-napping. Covers links generated by theme PHP,
social share plugins, widget areas – not just `the_content`.
**Skip Navigation Link (WCAG 2.4.1)**
Injects a skip link as the first focusable
element after `` via `wp_body_open`. Target ID is configurable and auto-detectable
from the admin. Visually hidden until focused.
**Decorative Image Alt Fix (WCAG 1.1.1)**
Ensures images without meaningful alt
text carry an explicit `alt=""` via `wp_get_attachment_image_attributes`. Also hooks`
render_block_core/image` to fix images in Full Site Editor templates and block themes
where the attachment filter does not fire.
**High-Contrast Focus CSS (WCAG 2.4.11)**
Injects a `focus-visible` rule (3 px
solid #0056b3 + glow) as inline CSS, overriding common theme patterns of `outline:
none` without modifying any theme file.
**Menu Accessibility Helper (WCAG 4.1.2)**
Adds `aria-haspopup="true"` and `aria-
expanded="false/true"` to navigation links that control sub-menus, with a small
Vanilla JS event handler (no jQuery) toggling state on click, Enter, Space, and
Escape.
### HTML Output Remediations (EAA)
**Nameless Link Fix (WCAG 2.4.4 / 4.1.2)**
Detects links whose only content is
an image with empty alt or an SVG icon – a pattern ubiquitous in sponsor logos,
partner logos, and social media icon rows. Automatically derives `aria-label` from:
img title, link title, recognised social domain (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn,
and more), or the capitalised hostname as a final fallback.
**Iframe Title Fix (WCAG 4.1.2)**
Adds a `title` attribute to every `
