How to set user-control in animation in a theme?

    My theme (no more supported) comes with an animation by default: little vertical dashes move up and down the whole page. I like it because my domain name is related to streets and traffic, and these moving dashes look like vehicles. However, while watching an article on the site, a younger friend asked me, “Can you please stop these movements?” This means all users won’t like it.

    The theme has an option to make the animation On or Off, but I wonder how could I set a user-control. My Wp-Admin section is accessible only to Admin.

    Hi @zebracrossing

    I hope you are doing well today.

    For that, you’ll need to hire a developer to provide the required custom code for you. WordPress provides a jobs directory here https://jobs.wordpress.net/

    Kind Regards,

    Not necessarily.

    Hi @zebracrossing

    From your main description, it seems that your current theme can only enable or disable that animation for all users, and you would like to have more control over this to apply this to a user name or user role. If so, then you will need a developer to review the core of this theme and adjust the code to support those users roles. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    Kind Regards,
    Kris

    Dear Kris, you may be wondering why I took so long to respond. First of all, what you suggested was the last resort. I was here for gathering some clues, not for definite solutions. But that aside, I was thinking. Would a hired supporter’s help in one particular issue can help me continuing with a theme that is no more supported?

    Fact is I just can’t give up on the theme. It’s the most brilliantly structured theme that I have ever come across, with features categorically unavailable in 100’s of WP themes I had tested in the past. And there are unmistakable indications that it’s one of the earliest themes that had tested/used Elementor. And I was able to incorporate several WP Patterns into some of the theme’s template-parts files. It’s so sad that the theme was discarded. I am totally confused.
