Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Ultimate Cursor – Interactive and Animated Custom Cursor and Background Effects Toolkit

Install Ultimate Cursor, open the Ultimate Cursor menu in your dashboard, choose a cursor type (text, image, icon, shape, or animated effect), adjust it in the live preview, and save. The custom cursor is active as soon as you save. No code or CSS is needed.

The plugin is built to keep its impact small. Scripts load only when an effect is enabled. Each effect is a separate file, so visitors download only what your configuration uses. When the cursor is hidden on a device, its scripts are not downloaded there. Cursor animation pauses while the pointer is still.

Yes. The custom cursor and background effects appear on pages built with Elementor. The cursor does not load inside the Elementor editor, so editing is not affected.

Yes. Ultimate Cursor works on pages and posts built with the block editor. No block is needed.

Yes. It works with properly coded themes and page builders, including WPBakery and Divi. The cursor does not load inside page-builder editors.

Touch devices have no mouse cursor, so the custom cursor is hidden there. Background effects are responsive and can run on all screen sizes.

Interactive Hover is a Pro feature. It makes the cursor react when a visitor points at a link, a button, or a form field. The cursor can grow, change color, glow, move toward the center of the element, and show a label such as "Open" or "Play".

Yes, with Pro. You can create multiple cursor configurations and show each one on the pages you choose. The free plugin applies one cursor to the whole site.

Yes, with Pro. A cursor can be limited to elements that match a CSS selector or to specific HTML elements. Interactive Hover also accepts your own CSS selectors.

Antigravity (floating particles) and Light Pillar (a glowing vertical light). Both are included in the free plugin with color, size, and shape settings. Pro adds motion controls, placement, targeting, and multiple backgrounds.
