Fuwari Block Effects

Descripción

Fuwari Block Effects adds subtle scroll animations and gradient text to WordPress core blocks. “Fuwari” is a Japanese word for something soft and floaty — exactly how your content will appear.

No extra libraries, no settings screens. Select a block, pick an effect in the sidebar, done.

Animations (play once when the block scrolls into view, or replay on every re-entry with the Repeat toggle):

  • Fade Up / Fade Down / Fade In — classic entrance animations
  • Box Reveal — a colored box covers the element, then slides away to reveal it. Choose the slide direction (right / left / up / down) and the box color (Purple / Orange / Blue / Dark)

Gradient text — three built-in gradients (Purple, Orange, Blue), plus a Custom option where you set the start and end colors with hex values.

Alternating columns — an option for the Columns block that reverses column order on desktop, useful for text/image zigzag layouts.

Supported blocks — animations: Paragraph, Heading, Quote, Button, Image, Group, Columns, Cover, Gallery, List. Gradient text: Paragraph, Heading, Quote, Button. Column layout: Columns.

Built to be safe

  • Content stays visible if JavaScript is disabled or fails to load
  • Respects the prefers-reduced-motion user setting
  • Falls back gracefully on browsers without IntersectionObserver
  • No data collection, no external requests, no tracking

Customization

Override the Box Reveal color from your theme’s Additional CSS:

body { --fuwari-reveal-color: #f5576c; }

Instalación

  1. Install and activate the plugin.
  2. Select a supported block in the editor.
  3. Choose an animation or gradient in the “Block Effects” panel in the block sidebar.

Preguntas frecuentes

Does it work with any theme?

Yes. The plugin adds CSS classes to blocks, so it works with both block themes and classic themes.

What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

Nothing breaks. The CSS classes remain in your content but simply have no effect until you reactivate.

Why doesn’t the animation play for some visitors?

If the visitor’s OS is set to “reduce motion”, the plugin intentionally shows content immediately without animation, for accessibility.
