Overview

This WordPress plugin enhances the Gutenberg editor by introducing a customizable animated headline block, leveraging the Typed.js library. Located in the common section of the editor, this block allows users to create engaging headlines with dynamic text effects. Users can easily change the text within the editor, separating different sentences with a pipe (|) and applying formatting such as italic or bold using and tags. Additionally, the plugin provides a dropdown menu to select the HTML tag (ranging from h1 to h6 or span) for the headlines, and a block panel with options to control animation speed, looping, and other typing effects. This tool is particularly useful for adding visually appealing, animated text elements to WordPress pages.

Customizable Text Animation

  • Change the text that appears in the animation directly in the editor.

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the overall functionality and usefulness of the WordPress plugin, noting that it works well and meets their needs efficiently. However, there is a significant drawback: the plugin generates fatal errors in the Gutenberg editor, specifically an "Uncaught TypeError" related to the `explode()` function, which expects a string but receives an array instead. This critical issue hinders its usability for some users, despite its otherwise positive performance.
