• Accessibility statement template
• Multiple accessibility controls (high contrast, font size, focus indicators, and more)

Server Requirements & Configuration

ABILITY follows standard WordPress requirements and should work on any host that supports a normal WordPress installation.

Minimum technical requirements

• Web server: Apache (recommended) or Nginx, configured for WordPress pretty permalinks.
• PHP: 7.4 or higher, with common extensions enabled (DOM, JSON, cURL or equivalent HTTP transport).
• MySQL / MariaDB: As required by your WordPress version.

Apache (default WordPress setup)

Most shared hosts run Apache with .htaccess support enabled:

• Ensure AllowOverride is enabled so WordPress can manage .htaccess and pretty permalinks.
• Use one of WordPress’s pretty permalink structures under Settings → Permalinks.
• No special rewrite rules are required specifically for ABILITY; it uses normal WordPress AJAX and admin-ajax.php.

Nginx

When running Nginx, ensure your configuration supports WordPress permalinks and admin Ajax:

• Use the official WordPress Nginx rules (see WordPress.org documentation) to route requests to index.php.
• Make sure admin-ajax.php is accessible (no custom blocking rules on /wp-admin/ AJAX).
• No ABILITY-specific location blocks are required; the plugin uses standard WordPress hooks and endpoints.

If in doubt, configure the server to meet the WordPress Hosting Requirements first; ABILITY will work on any environment that satisfies those.
