Апісанне
ExtenderX adds Gutenberg block animations and scroll effects to every block in the Block Editor — core WordPress blocks and third-party block libraries alike. No replacement blocks. No shortcodes. Open the block sidebar, pick an animation preset, and publish.
Animate blocks on scroll with entrance animations, add continuous floating motion, apply 3D tilt on hover, control device visibility, add tooltips, and wrap blocks with wrapper links — all from a single ExtenderX panel inside Gutenberg.
Why Use ExtenderX for Block Animations?
Most animation plugins only work with their own blocks. ExtenderX extends the blocks you already use — including Kadence Blocks, Spectra, Stackable, Essential Blocks, Ultimate Blocks, Ghostkit, Greenshift, Otter Blocks, and more.
- 6 animation & interaction types in one block sidebar panel
- Scroll-triggered entrance animations with duration, delay, and easing controls
- No coding required — configure everything visually in the editor
- Conditional asset loading — animation scripts load only when a block uses them
- Works with any theme — no page builder lock-in
Ready for advanced motion? Upgrade to Pro for parallax, custom CSS/JS per block, seasonal effects, and marketing tools.
How Block Animations Work
- Activate ExtenderX and enable Gutenberg Block Extensions from the dashboard.
- Edit any page or post in the Block Editor.
- Select a block and open the right sidebar.
- Open the ExtenderX panel and choose entrance, floating, tilt, visibility, tooltip, or wrapper link settings.
Your animations appear on the frontend immediately after publishing.
Gutenberg Block Animations (Free)
✅ Entrance Animations (Scroll Effects)
Make blocks animate on scroll with fade in, slide up, zoom in, flip, bounce, and more. Customize duration, delay, and easing. Animations trigger when blocks enter the viewport — perfect for landing pages, portfolios, and storytelling layouts.
✅ Floating Animations
Add subtle, continuous floating motion to any block. Ideal for hero sections, testimonials, and promotional banners.
Note: Floating animations do not run simultaneously with Entrance or Tilt on the same block.
✅ 3D Tilt Effect
Blocks respond to cursor movement with GPU-accelerated 3D tilt powered by VanillaTilt.js. Great for cards, images, pricing tables, and portfolio items.
✅ Responsive Visibility Control
Show or hide any block on desktop, tablet, or mobile independently using clean CSS — no duplicate content required.
✅ Tooltips
Add hover tooltips to any Gutenberg block powered by Tippy.js for accessible, smooth rendering.
✅ Wrapper Links
Turn any Gutenberg block into a clickable link — wrap images, groups, columns, and cards with a custom URL.
Block Library Compatibility
ExtenderX extends the Gutenberg editor itself, not individual block plugins. Tested with:
- Kadence Blocks

Bonus Site Tools (Also Included Free)
ExtenderX also includes optional site-wide tools you can enable from the dashboard — separate from block animations:
Dark Mode — visitor toggle powered by DarkReader, works with any theme.
Content Protection — disable right click, copy/paste, inspect element, and image drag.
UI Enhancements — back to top, sticky header, sticky footer, scroll progress bar, smooth scrolling, scrollspy, hide admin bar.
Enable only what you need. Each feature loads conditionally.
ExtenderX Pro

Часта задаваныя пытанні
-
How do I add scroll animations to Gutenberg blocks?
-
Open any page or post in the Gutenberg editor, select any block, and look for the ExtenderX panel in the right sidebar. Click Entrance Animation, choose a preset (fade in, slide up, zoom, flip, etc.), set duration and delay, and publish. Blocks animate when they scroll into view.
-
What is the difference between entrance, floating, and tilt animations?
-
Entrance animations trigger once when a block scrolls into the viewport. Floating animations add continuous subtle motion. 3D tilt responds to cursor movement. Only one motion type runs per block at a time — pick the effect that fits your design.
-
Does ExtenderX work with Kadence Blocks, Spectra, and Stackable?
-
Yes. ExtenderX extends the Gutenberg editor itself, so Kadence Blocks, Spectra, Stackable, Essential Blocks, Ultimate Blocks, Ghostkit, Greenshift, Otter Blocks, and other third-party block libraries automatically receive ExtenderX animation controls in the block sidebar.
-
Is ExtenderX compatible with all Gutenberg blocks?
-
Yes. Every core WordPress block and supported third-party block gets the ExtenderX panel with entrance, floating, tilt, visibility, tooltip, and wrapper link controls.
-
What is the 3D Tilt Effect and how do I use it?
-
Select any block in the editor, open the ExtenderX panel, and enable Tilt Effect. Adjust intensity and perspective. Blocks tilt in 3D as visitors move their cursor — powered by VanillaTilt.js.
-
How do I show or hide blocks on mobile, tablet, or desktop?
-
Select a block, open the ExtenderX panel, and use Visibility Control to toggle desktop, tablet, and mobile visibility independently.
-
Will ExtenderX slow down my website?
-
No. ExtenderX uses conditional asset loading — animation JavaScript and CSS load only when a block on the current page actually uses an ExtenderX effect. Unused features add zero overhead.
-
Do I need coding knowledge to use ExtenderX block animations?
-
Not at all. Select a block, open the ExtenderX panel, pick a preset, and publish. No CSS or JavaScript required.
-
Does ExtenderX work with third-party block libraries?
-
Absolutely. ExtenderX hooks into the block editor globally, so any registered Gutenberg block — core or third-party — receives animation controls automatically.
-
How do I enable dark mode on my WordPress website?
-
Navigate to ExtenderX > Site Enhancements > Appearance and toggle Dark Mode. Visitors get a floating toggle to switch themes. Dark mode uses the DarkReader engine and works with any theme.
-
How does content protection work in ExtenderX?
-
Enable Disable Right Click, Disable Copy Paste, Disable Inspect Element, and/or Disable Image Drag from Site Enhancements > Utility & Protection. Each layer can be toggled independently.
-
Can I disable right click on my WordPress site?
-
Yes. Go to ExtenderX > Site Enhancements > Utility & Protection and enable Disable Right Click.
-
Enable Back to Top from Site Enhancements > UI Enhancements.
-
How do I add a scroll progress bar?
-
Enable Scroll Progress Bar from Site Enhancements > UI Enhancements.
-
How does the Sticky Header feature work?
-
Enable Sticky Header from Site Enhancements > UI Enhancements. Your navigation stays fixed at the top of the viewport as visitors scroll. Sticky Header is included in the free version.
-
What is the difference between free and Pro?
-
The free version includes all 6 Gutenberg block extensions (entrance, floating, tilt, visibility, tooltip, wrapper link), dark mode, all content protection features, back to top, scroll progress bar, smooth scrolling, scrollspy, sticky header, sticky footer, and hide admin bar. ExtenderX Pro unlocks parallax effects, custom CSS/JS per block, scrollbar styler, custom cursor effects, seasonal effects, marketing tools, site modes, and advanced appearance modes.
-
How do I upgrade to ExtenderX Pro?
-
Click Upgrade to Pro in the ExtenderX dashboard or visit wpxero.com/plugins/extenderx/pricing.

Does ExtenderX support RTL languages?

Yes. ExtenderX includes full RTL stylesheet support for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, and other RTL languages.
-
Yes, with ExtenderX Pro. Enable Sticky WhatsApp Button from the Marketing section.
