Accessibility Font Resizer

Reviewers who get past the setup call it simple and effective, while others say the instructions don't explain where to add the CSS classes and the resizer never shows up on their site.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

21 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 16 listed. 5 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 8 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   Refer to the suggestions in the pinned item in the support forum. I also get a feeling of creating redundant enlarger schemes. It works, but it feels a bit nasty.

   I love the simplicity of this plugin, both in terms of setup (I went the modify template route to add the resize buttons) and appearance to visitors. And I especially appreciate the ability to target specific elements and the ability to set a cookie to manage persistence. I’m pretty sure most of the negative reviews result from people who did not read the instructions or watch the video, and just expected the resizer to automagically appear.

   A bit more complex to use at the beginning, but easy to understand after a quick visit to support. Once you get the hang of it, the Accessibility Font Resizer plugin is really dynamic, effective and helpful. Due to its functionality and ease of use, the plugin deserves a five-star rating!

   Nothing happens on the site after your instructions. Maybe your plugin has a lot of standard-theme deps but then you should mention it. So for me it does not work anyway

   The developer seems to lack giving any instructions beyond a video which is hopeless. Why not give an example, and CSS classes we can copy & paste into buttons or text? This really deserves 5 stars, but get 4 stars because of lack of decent instructions. I don’t have the patience to watch a video and pause, type out a class when I want to create my own widget or place it in a page and NOT a menu. A real shame since 30 seconds of the developer writing instructions is all it would need. Anyway, in it’s very basic form you can do this: <span class=”afr-normal”>A</span> <span class=”afr-large”>A</span> <span class=”afr-xlarge”>A</span> But then you’d need to make your own CSS for styling the cursor, and sizes of those 3 A’s if you want it too look good. Why doesn’t this plugin have it? Right now, I’m adding my own shortcode and using this plugin core to make my own version!
