Installing AllAccessible on Showit

Overview

Install the AllAccessible accessibility widget on your Showit website in just a few minutes. Showit supports adding custom code through its Design App, making it easy to add the widget across your entire site or on specific pages.

Who This Is For

  • Showit website owners and designers

  • Photographers, creatives, and small businesses using Showit

  • Anyone managing a Showit site who needs to add accessibility features

What You'll Learn

  • How to install AllAccessible on all pages of your Showit site

  • How to install on individual pages only

  • How to verify the widget is working

  • Troubleshooting tips specific to Showit


Before You Start

Requirements:

  • An active AllAccessible account with a Site ID

  • Access to your Showit Design App

  • Google Chrome browser (recommended for the Showit Design App)

What You'll Need:

Time Required: 2-5 minutes


Step 1: Get Your Installation Code

  1. Click Sites in the left menu

  2. Find your site and click the Installation or Get Code button

  3. Copy the JavaScript snippet

Your code will look like this:

<script>
    (function(d) {
        var s = d.createElement("script");
        s.setAttribute("data-accessible-account-id", "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID");
        s.setAttribute("id", "allAccessibleWidget");
        s.async = true;
        s.setAttribute("src", "https://api.allaccessible.org/widget/YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID.js");
        d.head.appendChild(s);
    })(document)
</script>

Replace YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID with your actual Account ID from the dashboard.


Step 2: Add the Code in Showit

Option A: All Pages at Once (Recommended)

This method adds the AllAccessible widget to every page on your Showit site using Global Custom Code.

  1. Open your site in the Showit Design App

  2. Go to your Site Settings (gear icon)

  3. Look for Global Custom Code or Custom Head HTML under the site-wide settings

  4. Click the code input area

  5. Paste your AllAccessible script code

  6. Click Save

This is the recommended approach because the widget will automatically appear on every page, including any new pages you create in the future.

Option B: Individual Pages Only

If you only want the widget on specific pages:

  1. Open your site in the Showit Design App

  2. Click on the page name you want to add the widget to

  3. In the Properties Panel on the right, select the Advanced Settings tab

  4. Click the Custom Head HTML box

  5. Paste your AllAccessible script code in the popup window

  6. Click Save

  7. Repeat for each page where you want the widget


Step 3: Publish Your Site

After adding the code, you need to publish for the changes to go live:

  1. Click Publish in the Showit Design App

  2. Wait for the publish process to complete

  3. Visit your live website to verify

Important: The widget will not appear in the Showit Design App preview. You must publish and visit your live site to see it.


Step 4: Verify Installation

  1. Visit your live website (not the Showit editor)

  2. Look for the accessibility button — it typically appears in the bottom-right corner of the page

  3. Click the button to open the widget

  4. Test a feature like increasing text size or changing contrast

If You Don't See the Widget

Check 1: Make sure you published
The widget only appears on your live published site, not in the Showit Design App.

Check 2: View Page Source

  1. On your live site, right-click and select View Page Source

  2. Press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) and search for "allaccessible"

  3. You should see your script code in the source

Check 3: Clear your browser cache

  • Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)

  • Or try opening your site in an incognito/private browsing window

Check 4: Verify your domain

  1. Go to Sites

  2. Make sure your Showit domain is registered (check both www and non-www versions)


Troubleshooting

Cannot Paste Code in Showit

If you're unable to paste code in the Showit Design App:

  1. Open Chrome SettingsPrivacy and Security

  2. Go to Site SettingsPermissions

  3. Find Clipboard settings

  4. Make sure app.showit.com is allowed to read your clipboard

  5. Refresh the Showit Design App and try again

Widget Doesn't Appear After Publishing

Possible Causes:

  • Wrong Account ID — double-check the ID matches your dashboard

  • Domain not registered — add your exact Showit domain in the AllAccessible dashboard under Sites

  • Browser cache — try incognito mode or clear cache

  • Ad blocker — temporarily disable any ad blockers and test

Widget Appears on Some Pages But Not Others

If you used the per-page method (Option B), make sure you've added the code to each page individually. Consider switching to the global method (Option A) for site-wide coverage.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the widget appear in the Showit Design App?
A: No. The widget only appears on your live published site. You need to publish and visit your site to see it.

Q: Do I need to add the code to every page?
A: No — if you use the Global Custom Code method (Option A), it applies to all pages automatically.

Q: Will the widget slow down my Showit site?
A: No. The widget loads asynchronously, meaning it won't block your page content from loading. Typical impact is less than 0.1 seconds.

Q: What if I use a custom domain with Showit?
A: Make sure your custom domain is registered in your AllAccessible dashboard under Sites. The widget works with any domain Showit publishes to.
