WelcomingWeb Accessibility Widget
WelcomingWeb is a hosted (SaaS) accessibility widget. This plugin is the official WordPress connector that injects the WelcomingWeb widget onto your site without editing theme files.
Account required: You need a WelcomingWeb account (a free plan/widget may be available) and a Widget ID to use this plugin. Without a Widget ID, the plugin does not load anything on the frontend.
After activation, go to: Settings → WelcomingWeb
Features: * Enable/disable the widget at any time * Paste your Widget ID (UUID) * Choose embed mode: – Script + data-widget-id attribute – Script with ?wid= query parameter (GTM-style) * Choose load location: – Head – Footer
The widget script is loaded only on the frontend and only when: 1) the plugin is enabled, and 2) a valid Widget ID is provided.
Service Notice (External Dependencies)
This plugin is a connector for the WelcomingWeb service and loads a remote JavaScript file to render the widget. See « External Services » below for details.
External Services
This plugin connects to external services operated by WelcomingWeb in order to provide the accessibility widget.
When enabled (and when a valid Widget ID is set), the plugin loads the WelcomingWeb widget script from:
* https://cdn-01.welcomingweb.com/a11y-widget.bundle.js
– In « query » mode, the same script URL is used with ?wid=YOUR_WIDGET_ID
– In « data » mode, the script is loaded and the Widget ID is passed via the data-widget-id attribute
The loaded widget script may also communicate with WelcomingWeb APIs to: * Fetch widget configuration associated with your Widget ID * Provide widget functionality on the frontend * Store and retrieve accessibility preferences (for example, selected profiles/features)
API endpoint(s) used by the service: * https://api.welcomingweb.com/api/*
Third-party font service: When a visitor activates the dyslexia-friendly font option, the widget script loads the « Open-Dyslexic » font stylesheet from a third-party CDN (Fonts CDN, not operated by WelcomingWeb): * https://fonts.cdnfonts.com/css/open-dyslexic This request is made by the visitor’s browser only when that accessibility option is selected.
Data that may be processed by the WelcomingWeb service includes: * Technical data (e.g., IP address, browser/user agent, device information) * Usage data (e.g., interactions with the widget) * Accessibility preferences (e.g., selected profiles/features)
The plugin itself does not send analytics and does not transmit administrator personal data to WelcomingWeb; it only injects the widget and passes your Widget ID to the widget script when enabled.
