Description
Animora lets you animate any block as it scrolls into view — no shortcodes, no page builder lock-in, just an extra panel in the block editor’s settings sidebar.
What can you do with Animora?
- add scroll-triggered animations to blocks
- add attention-seeking (repeated, not triggered) animations to blocks
- choose default animations if you plan to add them in many places
- choose animation timing function, duration and delay
- override the global defaults with per-block settings
Getting started
- Install the plugin
- Set global defaults (optional)
- Add animations to blocks while you edit posts with the editor.
Plans and ideas for the (nearest) future
- Add more animations
- Remove JS when all major browsers have working support for animation-timeline
- Add custom timing functions
- Add animation-timeline option to animation settings
FAQ
What theme do I need to work with Animora?
Any theme should be OK. Animora is theme-agnostic.
Are there any caveats?
The animations are written in CSS using transforms and opacity. Can work unpredictably if your theme sets transformations or opacity in the block styles.
Do I need any programming skills to use Animora?
No. If you know how to edit content in Gutenberg – you’re good to go.
Where can I set the defaults?
Go to the Settings->Animora page in your WordPress admin and use the settings form.
Does the plugin load any large resources?
No. A small CSS file and a few lines of JavaScript to trigger the animations. The JS is going to be removed when the support for animation-timeline gets more popular.
Does it work with any block, including third-party and nested blocks?
Yes, core and third-party blocks, in posts, pages, templates, patterns and widgets. The animation goes on the block’s outermost element.
Does it work with dynamic (server-rendered) blocks?
Yes.
Does it collect data or contact external services?
No. Animora doesn’t collect any data, including private info. Noe does it send anywhere.
