FAQ
-
Does this require Elementor Pro?
-
No. This plugin works with the free version of Elementor from WordPress.org and with Elementor Pro.
-
Can I customize the fonts?
-
Yes, you have full control over font family, size, weight, style, decoration, transform, alignment, line height, letter spacing, and color. All properties support responsive overrides for tablet and mobile devices.
-
How do I change animations for different screen sizes?
-
The widget uses the same animation across all devices but you can customize typography (font size, weight, etc.) separately for Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile in the Style tab.
-
Are the animations accessible?
-
Yes. The widget respects the
prefers-reduced-motionmedia query. Users who have enabled reduced motion in their operating system will see static text without animations. -
Does it support RTL languages?
-
Yes, full RTL (right-to-left) support is included for Hebrew, Arabic, and other RTL languages.
-
Can I use dynamic content?
-
Yes, the headline text field supports Elementor’s dynamic tags, so you can pull text from custom fields, post titles, and more.
