WP Hover Animations Everywhere! adds block-level hover animation controls to the WordPress block editor without relying on layout-shifting effects.

Highlights

  • Motion effects built around transform and opacity
  • Surface effects that stick to box-shadow, outline, and filter
  • Color transitions for text, background, and borders
  • Combinable settings for motion, surface, color, intensity, duration, easing, delay, and transform origin
  • Reduced-motion handling for accessibility
  • Frontend CSS only loads on requests that actually render at least one configured block
  • Save reusable site presets from the block inspector and mark one preset as the default for newly enabled blocks

Included animation families

  • Motion: rise, sink, left, right, grow, shrink, tilt left, tilt right, rotate, skew, bob, pulse, flip X, flip Y, float, sway
  • Surface: lift shadow, deepen shadow, glow, ring, inset line, brighten, saturate
  • Color: text, background, border, text + background, full surface
  • Reveal behavior: Hidden Price for Group blocks with a nested hidden-price target block

Notes

  • Hover previews are visible in the editor.
  • Effects are applied to the block wrapper, so they work across core and third-party blocks that output a normal root element.
  • Blocks that render no wrapper markup cannot be modified safely and are skipped.
  • For Hidden Price, set the parent Group block to Reveal behavior -> Hidden Price, then toggle Use as Hidden Price content on the nested text block you want to reveal.
  • Run ./test.sh before cutting a release to verify PHP runtime behavior, editor script syntax, and release packaging.
