#### Compatibility

## Installation

 3. Click on ‘Install now’.
 4. Once the plugin is installed, click on ‘Activate’.
 5. Go to `Settings > Font resizer` to edit the plugin’s settings.

## FAQ

### How can I activate the function of the plugin?

Once the plugin is activated, the functions of the plugin work.

### I have activated the plugin, now what ?

To be able to use the plugin, you should create a menu. You can use (or not) that
menu in a widget.

The trick is to simply add the CSS class `afr-normal` to display normal size, `afr-
large` for large text and `afr-xlarge` for very large text.

You can also apply this CSS technique in your PHP files or directly in your content.

### I click the resizer, but (some of) my fonts don’t change in size. How to fix that?

Simply inspect the element that is not resizing properly to know what element it
is. Then, simply add it to the ‘HTML Elements’ section in the options’ screen.

You can find the plugin’s settings in `Settings > Font resizer`.

### I use font-size in rem in my theme, will it work?

It’s not a problem. The plugin works with all units!

### I use font-size in pixels in my theme, will it work?

It’s not a problem. The plugin works with all units!

### I use font-size in percentage in my theme, will it work?

It’s not a problem. The plugin works with all units!

### I want to use a shortcode in my content element

There is no shortcode for this plugin. You can call CSS classes directly without
the need of a shortcode.

### I found a bug

Oh no! We are really sorry about that. Please [report bugs here](https://github.com/SatelliteWP/accessibility-font-resizer/issues).

Refer to the suggestions in the pinned item in the support forum. I also get a feeling
of creating redundant enlarger schemes. It works, but it feels a bit nasty.

I love the simplicity of this plugin, both in terms of setup (I went the modify 
template route to add the resize buttons) and appearance to visitors. And I especially
appreciate the ability to target specific elements and the ability to set a cookie
to manage persistence. I’m pretty sure most of the negative reviews result from 
people who did not read the instructions or watch the video, and just expected the
resizer to automagically appear.

A bit more complex to use at the beginning, but easy to understand after a quick
visit to support. Once you get the hang of it, the Accessibility Font Resizer plugin
is really dynamic, effective and helpful. Due to its functionality and ease of use,
the plugin deserves a five-star rating!

Nothing happens on the site after your instructions. Maybe your plugin has a lot
of standard-theme deps but then you should mention it. So for me it does not work
anyway
