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.

Bonus Site Tools (Also Included Free)

ExtenderX is more than block animations — it bundles a full suite of optional site-wide tools you can toggle from one dashboard, replacing several single-purpose plugins:

Dark Mode & Light Mode Toggle — visitor-facing dark mode powered by DarkReader, plus a light-mode toggle. Works with any theme, no configuration.

Maintenance Mode & Coming Soon Page — put your site behind a maintenance screen or launch a coming-soon page with a click, while you keep working in the dashboard.

Insert Headers & Footers + Custom Code Snippets — add HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to your site’s header (<head>), body, or footer without editing theme files. Manage reusable code snippets from one dashboard — perfect for Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, AdSense, and site verification tags.

Content Protection — disable right click, copy/paste, inspect element, and image drag to protect your content.

UI Enhancements — back to top button, sticky header, sticky footer, scroll progress bar, smart scroll (auto-hide header), and scrollspy navigation.

Announcement Bar & Floating CTA — show a dismissible announcement / notification bar, a floating call-to-action button, and a CTA pulse animation to boost conversions.

Seasonal Effects — add a falling snow effect (Winter Snow), Autumn Leaves, or Falling Hearts overlay for holidays and special campaigns.

Appearance Polish — fade-in on page load and smooth CSS transitions site-wide.

Enable only what you need. Every feature loads conditionally — disabled tools add zero CSS or JavaScript to your pages.

Insert Headers and Footers + Code Snippets (Free)

ExtenderX includes a built-in headers and footers manager and custom code snippet library — no separate plugin required.

✅ Insert Header & Footer Code
Add scripts and meta tags to the <head>, after the opening <body>, or before the closing </body> — ideal for Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, site verification, and other third-party code.

✅ HTML, CSS & JavaScript Snippets
Create, organize, and toggle reusable code snippets from a clean dashboard table. Enable or disable each snippet instantly — your code stays saved even when switched off.

✅ Safe & Conditional Output
Snippets only run where you allow them. Custom PHP snippets, conditional display logic, and scheduling are available in ExtenderX Pro.
