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.
A custom cursor is one of those small details that quietly signals quality. CursorFlex makes it effortless, lightweight, and safe for every theme.

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.
