Title: Jupa – Blocknimations Author: Jupa Published: September 19, 2026 Last modified: September 19, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/jupa-blocknimations/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3703368) # Jupa – Blocknimations By [Jupa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jupa8/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/jupa-blocknimations.1.0.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jupa-blocknimations/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jupa-blocknimations/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jupa-blocknimations/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jupa-blocknimations/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jupa-blocknimations/) ## Description Jupa Blocknimations adds animation controls directly to the blocks you already use( paragraph, image, columns, group, and more) — no new block, no extra markup. Pick from a curated shortlist or the full Animate.css catalog (97 animations, plus 4 custom “Reveal” wipes). * **On Enter** (default): plays once the first time a block scrolls into view, staggering blocks that enter together. Works in every browser. * **Scroll driven**: ties the animation to scroll position via native CSS (`animation- timeline`), falling back to “On Enter” automatically where unsupported. No animation JS library is bundled — just a small IntersectionObserver (under 1KB) plus plain CSS. Animations are real Animate.css classes and CSS custom properties, so they’re easy to override from your own CSS (e.g. `--animate-duration`, `--animate- distance`, or any property with `!important`). **A note on restraint:** animation is a great touch, but overusing it or mixing too many effects tends to hurt more than it helps. That’s why the toolbar leads with a short, curated shortlist — the full catalog is one click away via “More Animations…” when you actually need it. #### How to Use 1. Select a supported block (paragraph, heading, image, gallery, group, columns, button, cover, video, and more). 2. Three icons appear in its toolbar: 3. * **Animation**: the curated shortlist, or **More Animations…** for the full catalog. * **Delay**: a fixed 200ms–3000ms delay, or leave on “None” for automatic staggering. * **Type**: click to switch between **On Enter** and **Scroll driven** (hides Delay, which has no effect there). 4. Preview on the front end — animations only run there, never in the editor. #### Source Code Full source, including build tools, is at https://github.com/jupa8712/jupa-blocknimations. The `build/` folder is compiled from `src/` via `@wordpress/scripts` — run `npm install` then `npm run build` to regenerate it. #### Credits “Scroll down” icon (https://www.magnific.com/animated-icon/scroll-down_17905763)— Designed by Magnific (https://www.magnific.com). ## Screenshots [⌊Curated animation shortlist, plus custom reveals and the full catalog one click away.⌉⌊Curated animation shortlist, plus custom reveals and the full catalog one click away.⌉[ Curated animation shortlist, plus custom reveals and the full catalog one click away.

Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/jupa-blocknimations` directory, or install through the WordPress plugins screen. 2. Activate through the “Plugins” screen. ## FAQ ### Why don’t I see the animation while editing? By design — the editor always shows the block in its final state. Preview or view the page live to see it play. ### Does this work with any block, including third-party ones? It’s enabled on the most common core blocks out of the box. It just needs the block to support a normal `className` attribute, which almost all do. ### My block doesn’t show the animation controls — what can I do? Wrap it in a Group block and animate the group instead. ### Does it slow down my site? No. No extra animation library is loaded — just Animate.css’s CSS and a script under 1KB. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Jupa – Blocknimations” is open source software.
