One-click quick fixes
Skipped heading levels, fake lists, bold "headings", new-tab links, table headers, spacing and low-contrast text colors, fixed in one click. Every fix can be undone.
Updated for Lumtera 1.2.2 and Lumtera Pro 1.1.1.
Starts at 0:19: “Fixes you approve, with undo”. Captions are on. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play.
Overview
Quick fixes are buttons on issue cards in the block editor's Lumtera Accessibility sidebar. When Lumtera knows a safe, mechanical repair for the block that caused an issue, the card shows a button with a plain label, such as "Change to H3", "Convert to a list", "Use first row as header", "Open in the same tab", "Remove empty paragraphs" or "Use this color". Nothing changes until you click it.
Each fix goes through the block editor's own actions, so it behaves like an edit you made by hand. After the change, a snackbar says what happened and offers Undo, and screen readers hear the same message. The sidebar re-checks a moment later, so the issue drops out of the list once the fix has worked.
The fixes take the surrounding content into account. A skipped heading is set one level below the heading before it. A bold paragraph becomes a heading at the same level as the heading before it, or H2 if there is none. Two or more paragraphs starting with "-", "*" or "1." become one bulleted or numbered List block, with the typed markers removed.
Why does it matter?
Knowing what is wrong is only half the job. Many structural problems — a heading one level too deep, a list typed with dashes, a table without a header row — take several fiddly steps to repair in the editor. When fixing is tedious, it does not happen.
What do you get?
- Eight kinds of issue fixed in one click: skipped and extra H1 headings, empty headings, bold text that should be a heading, hand-typed lists, new-tab links, tables without a header row and runs of empty paragraphs.
- Low-contrast text in a block gets "Use this color": the nearest passing color, from your theme palette where one passes, with the contrast before and after.
- Image alt text issues open the alt text field for you.
- Review fix shows the change to the saved page before and after, saves it as a revision, checks the page again and offers Undo.
- Developers can add their own fixers through the lumtera.quickFixers JavaScript filter.
How does it work?
-
Spot the fix button
Issues Lumtera can repair safely show a button with a plain label, such as "Change to H3" or "Convert to a list".
-
Click it
The block is changed the way you would change it by hand — a heading level, a List block, a header row.
-
Undo if you disagree
Press Undo and the block is back as it was.
Who is it for?
-
Cleaning up pasted content
Text pasted from Word or Google Docs often arrives with hand-typed lists and bold lines instead of headings. Each one is fixed with a single click.
-
Editors reviewing contributor drafts
An editor can repair structural slips in a guest post without rebuilding blocks, and keep their attention for the decisions a machine cannot make.
-
Developers with custom blocks
The lumtera.quickFixers JavaScript filter lets a theme or plugin add fixers for its own blocks, keyed by check ID. Each fixer returns a label and a function that applies the change.
Good to know
How it behaves, what it needs, and where its limits are.
- Mostly core blocks
- The built-in fixers work on core Heading, Paragraph, Table and Image blocks, and on any block with a text content setting for new-tab links. Blocks from other libraries are still checked, but get a fix button only if a developer adds one.
- Colors from your palette
- For low-contrast text set in a block's color settings, "Use this color" suggests the nearest color that passes, from your theme palette where one does, and shows Now and Suggested with their contrast ratios. Colors in a synced pattern or template part are not changed from the post: the button opens the pattern or the Site Editor instead.
- Review fix: before and after
- Some issues also offer Review fix. It shows the block on the saved page before and after, lets you edit text such as alt text or link text, and changes nothing until you choose Apply fix. The change is saved as a revision, the page is checked again, and Undo stays in the dialog. Save your edits first, because this fix works on the saved page. The Content report offers the same dialog as "Fix without opening".
- Alt text is never written for you
- For image issues on an Image block, the button is Edit alt text. It selects the image, opens the block settings and puts the cursor in the Alternative text field. The words are yours, unless you ask your AI provider for a draft to check.
- Where fixes are offered
- One-click fixes and Review fix are in the block editor, and the Content report has Fix without opening. The Elementor panel and the classic editor box list issues but do not change content. Lumtera never writes into content a page builder manages; it tells you what to change in the builder.

Questions
Something else on your mind? Contact support
Will quick fixes change my design?
Most change structure, not style. A heading keeps its text and you can set its size separately; a hand-typed list becomes a real List block. The one color fix changes only the text color of that block, and shows you the new color first.
Is this like an overlay "auto-fix"?
No. Overlays patch the page in the visitor's browser. Quick fixes change your saved content, with you watching, so the fix is real for every visitor and every device.
Why does the fix button sometimes disappear?
The button is worked out again whenever the block changes. If you edit the block so the fix no longer applies, or the problem is already solved, the button goes away instead of offering an out-of-date change.
Can I undo a fix after saving?
One-click fixes can be undone for the rest of the editing session, like any edit, and after saving from the post's revisions. A fix applied with Review fix is saved as a revision and can be undone from the same dialog.
Can quick fixes run across the whole site?
Not in the free plugin: a person applies each fix, one at a time, and Lumtera does not rewrite posts in the background. Lumtera Pro adds a fixes queue to review, apply and undo many fixes at once.
