WordPress Plugin
Introduction
With the AAArdvark WordPress plugin, you can seamlessly access your site’s latest scan results and download accessibility reports directly from your WordPress dashboard. This integration is perfect for agencies and freelancers who want to provide clients with report access without creating separate AAArdvark accounts.
To make the most of AAArdvark’s features, please install our browser extension (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox). This enables Visual Mode, letting you review accessibility issues in a highly interactive way.
Setting Up the AAArdvark WordPress Plugin
On the AAArdvark App
Before connecting the plugin, generate an API key from the AAArdvark app:
- Navigate to your site’s Site Dashboard in AAArdvark
- Click Integrations and then Add Integration.
- Choose Add CMS Plugin, and on the next screen, select WordPress as the CMS Type
- Click Add, and your API Key will appear in a pop-up (modal).
Pro Tip: Make sure to copy and securely store your API right away, as you won’t be able to view it again.

Once the plugin is installed and activated:

- Paste the API key you generated into the API Key field.
- Choose which user roles (e.g., Editors, Administrators) should have access to the reports.

Troubleshooting Tip: If you see an error, double-check that your API key is entered correctly. If the issue persists, contact our support team for assistance.
