Links are identified by colour alone

link-in-text-blockOur plugin repairs this

Links inside paragraphs are only distinguished from surrounding text by their colour, with no underline.

Who this affects

Colour-blind visitors, who cannot see that the text is clickable at all.

Fix it in WordPress

Add an underline to content links in the theme's stylesheet or in Appearance → Editor → Styles. Many modern themes remove underlines for looks, which causes exactly this failure.

What the fix is, technically

Underline links inside body text, or raise their contrast against the surrounding text to at least 3:1 as well as adding another visual cue.

Or let the plugin do it

This is one of the failures AccessVane can repair for you. It changes the pages your server actually sends, not a script layered on top, and switching the repair off puts everything back exactly as your theme had it.
