Features

  • Choose from 76 cross-browser CSS3 animations or add your own
  • Preview animations in the editor
  • Adjust the animation delay, scroll threshold, and visibility of blocks
  • Based on Gutenberg’s InnerBlocks component

Settings

  • Delay: How many milliseconds to wait before animating the element.
  • Threshold: Add animation when x% of the element enters the screen.
  • Hide First: Set the element to opacity 0 when the page loads. The option works for elements transitioning to 100% opacity through CSS.
  • Class name “ab-end” is automatically added to elements when a CSS animation has completed. This can be used for extra customization.

Requirements

PHP 5.6+ is recommended, WordPress 5.0+, and Gutenberg must be active.
