Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Accessibility New Window Warnings

The plugin looks for target="_blank" in your links. If target="_blank" is present then it will identify the link as opening a new window and automatically add the warning.

Yes. No matter how you're creating your content, this plugin will work. It uses javascript to identify the links and fix them as the page is rendered so it doesn't matter what tool you used to build out your content.

When it comes to accessibility, warning users about links opening in new tabs or windows applies to all links, not just links in your body text. Adding the visible icon is important for users with cognative disabilities or mobility challenges so they are warned about the new window before clicking on or activating links - it's not sufficient to just add screen reader text for blind and visually imparied users. Depending upon how you're adding linked icons, we understand that this can cause a less than ideal appearance. If you don't like how the visible icon appears you have a couple of options: either change the link to not open in a new window or change the design of your social media or icon buttons either with that plugin's settings or custom CSS. It's generally not considered correct to hide the visible icon.

This plugin can help to make your website more accessible by fixing a common issue, however it alone will not make your website accessible. True accessibility requires manual and automated testing and a human being making fixes in the website. While problems can be resolved with an automated tool such as this, not all accessibility problems can be identified automatically. Learn more about how to test your website for accessibility errors
