  • Easy-to-use setup wizard
  • 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.
