FAQ
-
Does this work with the classic editor?
-
Not yet. MarqueeFlow currently requires the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg). Shortcode support is planned for a future release.
-
Can I use SVG images?
-
WordPress does not allow SVG uploads by default. If you install an SVG plugin like Safe SVG, MarqueeFlow will display SVGs just like any other image format.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
No. MarqueeFlow uses CSS-only animations with GPU-accelerated transforms. There is no JavaScript running on the frontend.
-
What happens when a visitor has motion sensitivity?
-
MarqueeFlow respects the
prefers-reduced-motionmedia query. When enabled, the animation stops and images become horizontally scrollable instead.
