Description

Below each post’s editor, the plugin adds a section where you write the Easy Read version (headings and paragraphs).

On the frontend, an accessible toggle (role=”switch”, keyboard operable) appears below the article: turning it on replaces the standard text with the Easy Read version.

Compatibility:

Automatic on any theme/builder that calls the_content (classic themes, Elementor’s “Post Content” widget, Oxygen’s “Content” element).
For builders or layouts that don’t route through the_content, use the [easy_read_toggle] shortcode or the “DigitalmenteChiara Easy Read Toggle” Elementor widget.

Elementor and Oxygen are trademarks of their respective owners. This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by either.

Settings

Settings > DigitalmenteChiara Easy Read Toggle: active post types, auto-insertion on/off, toggle labels.

Translations

Translated via translate.wordpress.org once approved (Italian translation submitted there).

Installation

Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/easy-read-toggle, or install directly through the WordPress plugins screen.
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
You’ll be taken to Settings > DigitalmenteChiara Easy Read Toggle automatically — pick which post types should get the feature.
Edit a post of that type: below the normal content editor you’ll find an “Easy Read” box. Write the Easy-to-Read version there.
Publish/update the post. The toggle appears automatically on the frontend; if your builder doesn’t render the_content, use the [easy_read_toggle] shortcode or the Elementor widget instead.

FAQ

Does this work with Elementor and Oxygen?: Yes. It’s automatic wherever your theme/builder renders the normal post content (Elementor’s “Post Content” widget, Oxygen’s “Content” element, classic themes). For layouts that don’t route through it, use the [easy_read_toggle] shortcode or the Elementor widget.
What happens if I enable it on a post but don’t write the Easy Read text yet?: A “coming soon” notice is shown instead of the toggle, so readers know a simpler version is on the way.

Changelog

2.1.0

Renamed to DigitalmenteChiara Easy Read Toggle (slug: digitalmentechiara-easy-read-toggle) for directory distinctiveness. Removed the arbitrary Custom CSS field. Dropped bundled translation files and the load_plugin_textdomain() call (handled by WordPress core / translate.wordpress.org).

2.0.1

Fix: Text Domain header/strings now match the wp.org-assigned slug (dc-easy-read-toggle).

2.0.0

Replaced the classic TinyMCE editor in the Easy Read box with a native block editor (Paragraph/Heading/List/Quote blocks, same as the main content editor) – sidesteps a WP core TinyMCE crash affecting a second classic editor on the same screen.

1.0.5

Attempted fix for a WP core TinyMCE focus-restore crash (superseded by 2.0.1’s rewrite).

1.0.4

Renamed to DC Easy Read Toggle for directory uniqueness.

1.0.3

Plugin Check fixes: input sanitization, unprefixed variable, readme tested-up-to.

1.0.2

Italian translation, pending notice styling and position fixes, activation redirect, admin list status column.

1.0.0

First release.
