Detailed Overview

Keyboard accessibility matters—yet many themes make the focus indicator subtle or invisible. Focus Transition for WordPress fixes that by applying a consistent, attractive, and highly visible focus style across your interface. Choose a preset (Classic Ring, Glow, Underline, Offset Outline) or craft your own with color, radius, offset, and animation timing. The plugin auto-detects new content (e.g., SPA-like interactions, AJAX-loaded menus) and applies focus styles reliably without changing your theme.

For teams working toward accessibility improvements, Focus Transition offers a practical “quick win” that benefits everyone—from screen-reader and keyboard users to developers testing forms, menus, and modals. It respects user preferences (reduced motion, high contrast) and avoids intrusive effects, striking the right balance between visibility and brand aesthetics.
