Using Accessibility Checker Pro + Claude AI to Remediate a Large WordPress Site
Details
Courtney Robertson will share a practical case study of running Equalize Digital’s Accessibility Checker Pro across her long-running WordPress site (including a large archive of older posts), then feeding those scan results into Claude Code to automate fixes. Examples include converting YouTube embeds to AblePlayer with VTT transcripts, resolving aria-hidden issues on emojis and UI elements, and other content-level remediation.
We’ll examine concrete before-and-after results: what the AI handled accurately and efficiently, where it made incorrect assumptions or introduced new problems that required human review, and practical takeaways for combining automated accessibility tools with AI in day-to-day WordPress workflows.
You will learn how to effectively combine Equalize Digital’s Accessibility Checker Pro scan results with Claude AI (Claude Code) for large-scale accessibility remediation on a real WordPress site.
You will leave with practical insights into:
- Which types of issues (content, embeds, ARIA, etc.) AI can reliably fix versus those that still require human judgment and testing
- A repeatable workflow for feeding automated accessibility reports into AI tools and reviewing the output
- Common pitfalls and success patterns when using AI for accessibility work on older content archives
- Clear takeaways they can apply immediately to their own sites or client projects to speed up remediation while maintaining quality
