Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Link Different – Animated Link Hover Effects for WordPress

Select any paragraph or container block in the WordPress block editor, open the settings panel by clicking the gear icon, find the "Link Styles" panel, choose your desired effect (Peace Out, Rainbow, Hat Tip, Boing, or Strikethrough), and customize the color. The hover effect applies immediately to all links in that block.

Yes, Link Different uses CSS animations that work on all modern mobile devices. On touch devices, the effect may appear on tap/touch rather than hover, depending on the device and browser.

Yes! You can apply different hover effects to different paragraphs or sections. Simply select each block individually and choose the effect you want for that specific section. This allows you to use Peace Out on some links, Rainbow on others, etc.

No. Link Different is extremely lightweight (less than 15KB) and uses GPU-accelerated CSS animations for optimal performance. The plugin loads only the minimal CSS needed for your chosen effects. No jQuery, no bloat.

Yes, Link Different works with any WordPress theme that supports the block editor (Gutenberg). The plugin adds hover effects on top of your existing link styles without interfering with your theme's design.

Absolutely! Each hover effect includes a full color picker that lets you choose any color to match your brand. You're not limited to preset colors – choose any hex, RGB, or HSL color value for perfect brand consistency.

If you deactivate Link Different, all links will revert to your theme's default link styles. No data is lost – if you reactivate the plugin, your chosen effects and colors will still be there in your block settings.

Yes, Link Different works with any HTML links in the block editor, including WooCommerce product links in blog posts, product descriptions, and custom content areas.

Yes! Select a container block (like a Group block or Column block) that contains multiple paragraphs. When you apply a hover effect to the container, all links within that container inherit the effect. This is great for styling entire sections consistently.

Currently, hover effects apply to all links within the selected block. To exclude specific links, place them in a separate block without the effect applied.
