How to switch from UserWay
We make Fixlight, a free WordPress plugin that fixes accessibility problems in your site's own HTML. This page is for people who have already decided to leave UserWay. The cancellation steps come from UserWay's own help pages, linked below.
1. Cancel your UserWay plan
- Sign in to the UserWay Dashboard at manage.userway.org.
- Click your profile icon and select Subscriptions.
- Next to the subscription, select Manage, then Cancel Subscription.
- Select Proceed with Cancellation, choose a reason, and select Cancel Subscription again.source [1]
- Bought through Wix, Shopify or Duda? That platform bills you, so cancel there. To check, open My Sites in the Dashboard, choose the site and open My Current Plan Details.source [2]
- Several sites on one subscription: to cancel just one, UserWay asks you to contact desk@support.userway.org.source [1]
- When: subscriptions renew automatically. Its terms say you can cancel renewal at any time in your account or by emailing support@userway.org, and also that a subscription renews unless you end it 30 days before the term ends, so cancelling early is the safe choice.source [3]
- After you cancel: the subscription stays active until the end of the billing cycle.source [1] Its terms say cancelling stops future renewals but doesn't automatically refund what was already paid, except in the cases its terms describe.source [3]
2. Remove it from your WordPress site
- Added with its WordPress plugin ("Accessibility by UserWay")source [4]: go to Plugins → Installed Plugins, deactivate it, then delete it.
- Added as code: look for
cdn.userway.org/widget.jsin your page's sourcesource [6], usually in your theme or a header-and-footer code plugin, and delete that script. - To stop it showing without touching code: in the Dashboard, open My Sites, click the domain, open Settings and switch the widget off. The code stays on your site.source [5]
- Afterwards: once the subscription has expired, you can delete the site from the Dashboard under My Sites → Settings → Delete Site.source [7]
Fixlight can do the plugin part for you: when it finds UserWay's plugin, its Overview screen offers to deactivate it, after you confirm. It never edits code pasted into your theme.
3. Put Fixlight in its place
Fixlight fixes common problems in the HTML your server sends (skip links, visible keyboard focus, alt text from your media library, names for icon buttons and links, form labels and more), checks your pages, and lists what still needs a person. It's free, with no account and no script for your visitors. The facts · how the two approaches differ.
