Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Image Zoom on Hover
Yes, the plugin is designed to work seamlessly with any properly coded WordPress theme. It uses standard WordPress hooks and targets common content area selectors, ensuring compatibility across thousands of themes. The vanilla JavaScript implementation means there are no conflicts with existing jQuery or other JavaScript libraries.
Absolutely! The plugin provides a comprehensive exclusion system where you can specify CSS classes, IDs, or selectors to exclude specific images or entire sections from zoom functionality. This is perfect for maintaining clean navigation areas, excluding thumbnails, or preventing interference with existing image galleries or sliders.
The plugin includes advanced mobile optimization that automatically detects mobile devices and adjusts the zoom behavior accordingly. Images are intelligently scaled to fit within mobile viewports with special consideration for mobile browser UI elements. You can also choose to disable the feature entirely on mobile devices if preferred.
No, the plugin is optimized for performance with minimal impact on page load speeds. It uses lightweight vanilla JavaScript with no external dependencies, and the CSS and JavaScript only load on pages where zoom functionality is active. The code is efficiently written to process images quickly without blocking page rendering.
Yes! You can customize the overlay background color using a color picker, and control the opacity with a live slider (70–100%). This lets you match the overlay to your site's design — use a dark color for photography or dark-themed sites, or keep the clean white default. You can also choose between two zoom icon styles (magnifier or expand/fullscreen) with a preview shown right in the settings page.
By default, the plugin enables zoom functionality on posts and pages. However, you can easily customize this in the settings to include any public post type on your site, including custom post types created by themes or other plugins. This gives you complete control over where the zoom feature appears.
The plugin includes a minimum image width setting that automatically excludes images smaller than your specified threshold. By default, images smaller than 300 pixels wide are excluded, but you can adjust this value anywhere from 50 to 1000 pixels to match your site's needs.
Yes, the plugin is designed to work alongside existing gallery plugins and image management tools. The exclusion system allows you to prevent conflicts by excluding specific gallery containers or image classes, ensuring smooth integration with your existing setup.
