CursorFlex – Stylish Cursor Effects for WordPress

Description

Every visitor moves their cursor on every page — so why leave it boring?

CursorFlex swaps the default browser pointer for a sleek, modern custom cursor that makes your WordPress site feel designed rather than default. Pick a style, fine-tune the colors and size, and watch it update live before you save — all from a clean settings page, with no coding required.

FAQ

Does it work with all themes?

Yes. The plugin inserts the cursor elements into the page footer and applies global CSS, so it works regardless of the active theme.

Does it affect mobile visitors?

CSS cursors have no effect on touch-screen devices. The plugin outputs no JavaScript on mobile (touch events are ignored), so there is zero impact on mobile performance.

Will it slow down my site?

The plugin adds one CSS file and one JavaScript file. The impact on page load time is negligible.

Can I use my own image or SVG as the cursor?

Uploading a custom image or SVG cursor is a CursorFlex Pro feature, along with cursor animations, click effects, and per-page configuration. The free version includes the Dot, Ring, and combined styles with full color and size control.

How do I remove the plugin data after uninstalling?

The plugin removes all stored options automatically when you uninstall it through the WordPress admin.
