Accessibility

Die WordPress-Gemeinschaft und das Open-Source-WordPress-Projekt verpflichtet sich, so inklusiv und zugänglich zu sein wie möglich. Das WordPress-Core-Team will, dass jeder, unabhängig von Technik oder Fähigkeit, in der Lage ist, Inhalte zu veröffentlichen und eine mit WordPress erstellte Website oder Anwendung zu pflegen.

WordPress hat das Ziel, die WordPress-Administrationsoberfläche und mitgelieferte Themes wo immer möglich vollständig WCAG 2.0 AA konform zu gestalten.

All new and updated code released in WordPress must conform with these guidelines as per the WordPress Accessibility Coding Standards. Some current features and functionality in development may not yet fully comply, and known issues are listed in the WordPress Trac “accessibility” focus.

While the WordPress project cannot guarantee that all Themes are compliant, the accessibility-ready themes have been checked by the Theme Review Team to ensure that these themes pass their basic accessibility requirements.

Das Team für Barrierefreiheit

The WordPress Accessibility Team provides accessibility expertise across the project to improve the accessibility of WordPress core and resources.

The Accessibility Handbook shares the best practices for web accessibility, a list of accessibility tools, the testing we do to improve WordPress, themes, and plugins, and how to get involved in WordPress accessibility.

To report an Accessibility issue you’ve encountered in WordPress or on WordPress.org, please see the Accessibility Handbook page on Reporting Accessibility Issues.

ATAG-Erklärung

The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines version 2.0, or ATAG, are a set of guidelines that govern how to create a tool for creating web pages that are both accessible and encourages the creation of accessible content.

The WordPress accessibility coding standards require new or updated code to meet the standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.0 at level AA. ATAG conformance is an additional goal beyond WCAG compliance.

An application that fully conforms with ATAG 2.0 must not only be usable by people with disabilities, but it should enable and encourage all users to create accessible content and assist them in repairing accessibility mistakes, without requiring any additional tools or add-ons.

WordPress ist aktuell nicht ATAG 2.0-konform, verpflichtet sich aber, Funktionen für die Zugänglichkeit anzustreben, die Benutzern helfen, zugängliche Inhalte zu erstellen, um das langfristige Ziel der ATAG-Konformität zu erreichen.
