FAQ

Can I use this with any post type?
-
Version 1.4.1 supports all default WordPress post categories. Expanded custom post type support will arrive in upcoming releases.

Not at all. The plugin executes animation functions natively using highly optimized inline CSS keyframes rather than heavy, bloated external JavaScript tracking scripts.
