=== ExtenderX – Accessibility, Block Animations & Site Enhancements === Version: 1.10.0 Author: WPXERO Author URI: https://wpxero.com Donate link: https://wpxero.com/plugins/extenderx/pricing Contributors: wpxero Tags: accessibility, animation, dark mode, maintenance mode, code snippets Requires at least: 6.2 Tested up to: 7.1 Stable tag: 1.10.0 Requires PHP: 7.4 License: GPL v2 or later License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Accessibility toolbar, block animations, dark mode, sticky header, maintenance mode, code snippets and 50+ site tools in one lightweight plugin. == Description == **ExtenderX is an all-in-one WordPress site enhancement plugin.** It adds an accessibility toolbar, scroll and entrance animations for Gutenberg blocks, dark mode, a sticky header, maintenance and coming soon modes, an announcement bar, header/footer code snippets and 50+ other site tools — all managed from one dashboard, on any theme. Turn on only what you need. A disabled feature adds **zero CSS and zero JavaScript** to your pages. [Live demo](https://wpxero.com/plugins/extenderx?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=demo) | [Compare Free vs Pro](https://wpxero.com/plugins/extenderx/pricing?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=top) ### What you can do with the free version * **Make your site easier to use** — a visitor-facing accessibility toolbar with 11 display tools, 4 one-click profiles, a skip to content link and visible keyboard focus outlines. * **Animate any Gutenberg block** — entrance, floating and 3D tilt animations on core blocks and third-party blocks, with no new blocks to learn. * **Add dark mode** — a light/dark toggle for visitors that works with any theme. * **Improve navigation** — sticky header, sticky footer bar, back to top button, scroll progress bar, scrollspy and smart auto-hiding header. * **Launch and maintain** — maintenance mode and coming soon mode, with admins keeping full access. * **Promote offers** — announcement bar, floating call-to-action button and CTA pulse animation. * **Add tracking and custom code** — insert header and footer scripts and manage HTML, CSS and JavaScript snippets without editing theme files. * **Protect content** — disable right click, text copy, inspect and image drag. * **Publish faster** — Save & Go adds "save and jump to…" actions to the post editor. ### One plugin instead of many ExtenderX covers jobs that usually need a separate plugin each: * Accessibility widget / toolbar * Block animation and scroll animation plugin * Dark mode plugin * Sticky header and back to top plugin * Maintenance mode / coming soon plugin * Announcement bar / notification bar plugin * Insert headers and footers / code snippets plugin * Content protection (disable right click) plugin * Seasonal effects (falling snow) plugin Fewer plugins means fewer updates, fewer conflicts and one consistent settings screen. ### Why site owners choose ExtenderX * **Lightweight by design** — conditional asset loading. Scripts and styles load only where a feature is enabled and actually used. * **Works with what you have** — any classic or block theme, all core blocks, and block libraries such as Kadence Blocks, Spectra, Stackable and GenerateBlocks. * **Private** — the accessibility toolbar sets no cookies, calls no external service and sends no visitor data to your server. * **Respects visitors** — motion features honor the "prefers-reduced-motion" system setting. * **Honest free tier** — the free features listed here are complete and usable on their own, not trials. * **RTL ready** — full right-to-left stylesheet support. --- ### Accessibility Tools that let visitors adjust how your site is displayed, so they can read and navigate it more comfortably. Everything is off until you enable it, nothing is fetched from an external service, and no visitor data leaves their browser. These tools are one part of an accessible site — your content, your markup and your own testing matter at least as much. * **Accessibility Toolbar** — a floating button that opens a panel of display controls, grouped into Text, Color, Content, and Motion & reading. Free tools: text size, a readable font, left-aligned text, high contrast, inverted colors, grayscale, a light background, underlined links, highlighted headings, hidden images, and paused motion. * **Quick profiles** — **Low vision**, **Dyslexia**, **Focus** and **Seizure safe** each switch on a matching set of tools in one click, using only the tools you have enabled. Press again to clear. * **Keyboard shortcut** — visitors open and close the panel with **Alt+A** from anywhere on the page. A badge on the button shows how many settings are active, and **Reset all** clears them. * **Remembered preferences** — a visitor's choices follow them from page to page, stored in their own browser. No cookies, nothing identifying recorded, and nothing sent to your server. * **Skip to Content Link** — lets keyboard visitors jump past the header straight to your main content. Hidden until focused, and it moves focus properly rather than only scrolling. If your target selector doesn't match, common landmarks are tried automatically. * **Enhanced Focus Outlines** — a configurable ring (color, thickness, offset) around whichever element the keyboard is on, for themes that hide or wash out the browser default. Appears for keyboard input, not mouse clicks. You choose which side the button sits on, how far up from the bottom, which tools appear, and whether the profiles row and the shortcut are offered. The toolbar is itself keyboard operable, announces changes to screen readers, and honors the visitor's "prefers-reduced-motion" system setting. **Pro adds:** seven more visitor tools (reading guide, reading mask, text spacing, content zoom, a dyslexia-friendly typeface, a large cursor, saturation control) · toolbar branding (colors, icon, size, stacking order, hide on mobile) · an **Accessibility Statement** generator that creates an editable draft page · an **Alt Text Audit** that lists media library images with no alternative text. ### Block Editor Extensions (all free) Six extensions added to the Gutenberg sidebar for every registered block — core WordPress blocks and third-party block libraries alike. No replacement blocks. No shortcodes. * **Entrance Animation** — scroll-triggered effects (fade in, slide up, zoom, flip, bounce, and more) with duration, delay, and easing controls. Fires once when the block enters the viewport. * **Floating Animation** — smooth, continuous looping motion for hero sections, testimonial cards, and promotional banners. * **Tilt Animation** — GPU-accelerated 3D tilt that responds to cursor movement, powered by VanillaTilt.js. * **Visibility Control** — show or hide any block on desktop, tablet, or mobile using clean CSS. * **Wrapper Link** — make any block — group, column, image, card — fully clickable. * **Tooltip** — accessible hover tooltips on any block, rendered by Tippy.js. Scripts and styles are added only to pages where at least one block uses an extension. **Compatible block libraries:** Kadence Blocks · Spectra (UAG) · Stackable · Essential Blocks · Ultimate Blocks · Ghostkit · Gutenverse · GutenKit · Otter Blocks · Greenshift · CoBlocks · GenerateBlocks · all core WordPress blocks ### Motion & Animations (Beta) * **Site-Wide Animations** (free) — set one reveal style and it applies automatically to your content across every page. Supports block-type targeting, stagger delays, and per-page or per-block overrides in the editor. * **Scroll-Linked Effects** (Pro) — parallax drift and scroll-progress scrub for elements you target. * **Import / Export** (Pro) — back up your motion configuration or move it between sites. ### Appearance * **Dark Mode** — visitor-facing dark/light toggle powered by DarkReader. Works with any theme, no configuration. * **Skeleton Loading Screen** (Pro) — show a skeleton placeholder while page content loads. * **Preloader** (Pro) — display a branded animation before the page reveals. ### Navigation & Scrolling * **Back to Top Button** — floating button with style presets, icon, position, and visibility options. * **Sticky Header** — keeps your navigation fixed at the top of the viewport as visitors scroll. * **Sticky Footer Bar** — persistent footer strip across all pages. * **Scroll Progress Bar** — visual reading-progress indicator at the top of the page. * **Scrollspy** — highlights the active navigation link based on scroll position. * **Smart Scroll** — hides the header when scrolling down, reveals it when scrolling up. * **Scroll to Bottom Button** (Pro) — one-click jump to the bottom of the page; stacks neatly beside Back to Top. * **Smooth Scrolling** (Pro) — smooth page scrolling powered by Lenis. * **Scrollbar Styler** (Pro) — customize the browser scrollbar color and appearance. ### Site Access Modes * **Maintenance Mode** — show visitors a maintenance page while you work; admins keep full site access. * **Coming Soon Mode** — full-page coming-soon screen before launch. * **Age Verification** (Pro) · **Cookie Consent** (Pro) · **GDPR Notice** (Pro) · **Exit-Intent Popup** (Pro) ### Marketing * **Announcement Bar** — dismissible top or bottom banner for offers and notices. * **Floating CTA Button** — fixed call-to-action button that follows the visitor. * **CTA Pulse Animation** — draw attention to any button with a pulse ring. * **Sticky WhatsApp Button** (Pro) — floating WhatsApp chat widget. * **Global Countdown Banner** (Pro) — site-wide urgency timer for sales and launches. ### Custom Code * **Insert Headers & Footers** — add HTML, CSS, or JavaScript to your site's ``, after the opening ``, or before the closing ``. Suited to Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, AdSense, and site verification tags. * **Code Snippet Library** — create, name, and toggle reusable HTML, CSS, and JavaScript snippets. Disabled snippets stay saved but stop running. * **Pro adds** PHP snippets, conditional display logic (specific pages or post types), and scheduling. ### Save & Go A menu in the post editor (block and classic) that saves and then takes you straight to the next step. * **Free:** Save & New, Save & List, Save & Next, Save & Previous, Save & View. * **Pro:** Save & Duplicate, Save & Return, Save & View in New Window, a choice of default action, button placement options, and **Bulk Add** — paste a list of titles and create posts, pages or custom post types in one go. ### Seasonal Effects * **Free:** Winter Snow, Autumn Leaves, Falling Hearts. * **Pro:** Spring Petals, Summer Bubbles, Christmas Lights, Fireworks, Halloween Bats, Ramadan Lanterns, Black Friday and Cyber Monday confetti, Weather, Particle Background, Fireflies, Twinkling Stars, Floating Emojis, Floating Shapes, Light Beams, Mouse Trail — plus scheduling by date range, page targeting, and per-effect colors.

After activation, open **ExtenderX** in the left admin menu. 3. Use the **Quick Start** screen to enable the modules you want: Site Enhancements, Block Editor extensions, and/or Custom Code. 4. Configure each module from the sidebar: **Site Enhancements** for site-wide tools (including the **Accessibility** tab), **Block Editor** for Gutenberg block extensions, **Custom Code** for header/footer scripts and snippets. 5. For block animations: edit any page or post, select a block, and open the **ExtenderX** panel in the right sidebar. **To add Pro:** purchase a plan at [wpxero.com](https://wpxero.com/plugins/extenderx/pricing?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=install), install the ExtenderX Pro plugin alongside this one, and activate your licence. Keep the free plugin active — Pro extends it. == Frequently Asked Questions == = What is ExtenderX? = ExtenderX is a free WordPress plugin that combines an accessibility toolbar, Gutenberg block animations, dark mode, navigation tools (sticky header, back to top, scroll progress), maintenance and coming soon modes, marketing widgets, content protection, and a header/footer code snippet manager in a single dashboard. Each feature is off until you enable it, and disabled features load no assets. = Is ExtenderX free? = Yes. The plugin on WordPress.org is free and fully usable on its own: all six block editor extensions, the accessibility toolbar with 11 tools, dark mode, sticky header, maintenance mode, the announcement bar, HTML/CSS/JS snippets and more. ExtenderX Pro is an optional paid add-on that unlocks additional features. = What does ExtenderX Pro add? = Pro adds seven more accessibility tools, toolbar branding, an Accessibility Statement generator and Alt Text Audit; Scroll-Linked Effects (parallax and scrub); Smooth Scrolling, Scrollbar Styler and a Scroll to Bottom button; Preloader and Skeleton Loading Screen; 16 more seasonal effects with scheduling and page targeting; Sticky WhatsApp Button and Global Countdown Banner; Age Verification, Cookie Consent, GDPR Notice and Exit-Intent Popup; PHP snippets with conditional logic and scheduling; and extra Save & Go actions with Bulk Add. [Compare plans](https://wpxero.com/plugins/extenderx/pricing?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=faq). = Will I lose my settings if I upgrade to Pro? = No. Your settings live in the free plugin. Pro installs alongside it and unlocks the features marked PRO in the same dashboard, so everything you configured stays as it is. = Do I need to keep the free plugin installed when I use Pro? = Yes. ExtenderX Pro is an add-on that extends the free plugin, so both need to be active. = What happens if my Pro licence expires or I deactivate Pro? = Premium features switch off and the free features keep working exactly as before. Your settings are kept, so premium features pick up where they left off when Pro is active again. = Which plugins can ExtenderX replace? = Depending on what you use, ExtenderX can stand in for separate plugins for an accessibility toolbar, block animations, dark mode, sticky header, back to top button, maintenance or coming soon mode, announcement bar, insert headers and footers, code snippets, disable right click, and falling snow effects. = What makes ExtenderX different from other animation plugins? = Most animation plugins only animate their own blocks, or require you to switch to a different page builder. ExtenderX adds animations to every block you already use (any Gutenberg block, any plugin), and it bundles a full suite of site-wide tools — dark mode, sticky header, maintenance mode, seasonal effects, code snippets, marketing widgets — so you don't need a separate plugin for each. = What accessibility tools does ExtenderX include, and are they free? = The core tools are free: an **Accessibility Toolbar** with 11 visitor display controls (text size, readable font, left-aligned text, high contrast, inverted colors, grayscale, light background, underlined links, highlighted headings, hidden images, paused motion), four **quick profiles** (Low vision, Dyslexia, Focus, Seizure safe), an **Alt+A** keyboard shortcut, remembered preferences, a **Skip to Content** link, and **Enhanced Focus Outlines**. Pro adds seven more visitor tools, toolbar branding, an Accessibility Statement generator, and an Alt Text Audit. = Does this plugin make my site WCAG, ADA, or EAA compliant? = No — and be careful with any plugin that claims otherwise. ExtenderX gives visitors control over how your site is displayed and gives you two tools for finding problems in your own content. Compliance depends on your content, your markup, your theme, and your own testing with real assistive technology. Treat these tools as one part of the work, not a substitute for it. = How do I add an accessibility widget to my WordPress site? = Go to **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Accessibility** and enable **Accessibility Toolbar**. Use the gear icon to pick which side the button sits on, how far up from the bottom, which tools appear, and whether the quick profiles row and the Alt+A shortcut are offered. Nothing loads on your site until you enable it. = Does the accessibility toolbar set cookies or send visitor data anywhere? = No. A visitor's choices are stored in their own browser so they carry from page to page. No cookies are set, nothing identifying is recorded, nothing is sent to your server, and nothing is fetched from an external service. You can switch remembering off in the toolbar settings, though visitors then have to set their preferences again on every page. = How do I add a skip to content link? = Enable **Skip to Content Link** under **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Accessibility** and set **Target** to a CSS selector for your main content area — `#main` suits most themes. The link stays invisible until a keyboard visitor tabs to it, then moves focus into the content rather than only scrolling. If the selector matches nothing, common landmarks are tried automatically, so it keeps working if you change themes. = My theme hides the keyboard focus ring. Can ExtenderX fix that? = Yes. Enable **Enhanced Focus Outlines** under **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Accessibility** and set the ring's color, thickness, and offset. It appears for keyboard and similar input but not for mouse clicks. = How do I find images that are missing alt text? = With ExtenderX Pro, open **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Accessibility** and use **Alt Text Audit**. It lists media library images with no alternative text and links to each one for editing; results are paginated so it stays fast on large libraries. When writing alt text, describe what the image conveys in context. If an image is purely decorative, leaving it empty is the correct choice. = Does the accessibility toolbar respect the "reduce motion" system setting? = Yes. If a visitor's system asks for reduced motion, the toolbar starts with motion already paused, and switching that off will not force animations back on for them. The toolbar itself is keyboard operable and announces changes to screen readers. = Does ExtenderX work with any WordPress theme? = Yes. The Site Enhancements module (dark mode, sticky header, maintenance mode, seasonal effects, content protection, marketing tools, and more) works with any WordPress theme — classic or block themes. The Block Editor Extensions work within the Gutenberg editor and are compatible with any theme that supports the block editor. = Does ExtenderX work with page builders like Elementor or Divi? = The Site Enhancements tools (dark mode, sticky header, announcement bar, code snippets, seasonal effects, maintenance mode, and so on) work site-wide regardless of which builder or editor you use. The Block Editor Extensions are specific to the WordPress Gutenberg / block editor and do not add animation controls inside Elementor or Divi's own editors. = How do I add scroll animations to Gutenberg blocks? = Go to **ExtenderX → Block Editor** and make sure **Entrance Animation** is enabled. Then edit any page or post, select a block, and open the **ExtenderX** panel in the right sidebar. Choose a preset (fade in, slide up, zoom, flip, bounce, and more), set a duration and delay if you like, and publish. The animation fires once when the block scrolls into the visitor's viewport. = What is the difference between entrance animations, floating animation, and tilt? = Entrance animations fire once when a block scrolls into view. Floating animation is a continuous looping motion — useful for hero images or feature callouts. Tilt responds to the visitor's cursor position in real time. Only one motion type runs per block at a time. = Does ExtenderX work with Kadence Blocks, Spectra, Stackable, and other third-party blocks? = Yes. ExtenderX extends the Gutenberg editor globally, so every registered block — Kadence, Spectra, Stackable, Essential Blocks, Ultimate Blocks, Ghostkit, Greenshift, Otter Blocks, and all core WordPress blocks — automatically gets the ExtenderX sidebar panel with all six extensions. = Will ExtenderX slow down my website? = No. Every module uses conditional asset loading. Animation scripts only load on pages where at least one block uses an effect. Site enhancement scripts only load when their feature is enabled. Disabled features add zero CSS or JavaScript to any page. = What is Site-Wide Animations and how is it different from block entrance animations? = Site-Wide Animations (free, beta) lets you set a single reveal style — such as Flip Y — once from the dashboard, and it applies automatically to your content across every page without manually configuring each block. You can still override it per page or per block inside the editor. Block entrance animations, by contrast, are configured individually per block and give you precise control over each effect. = How do I enable dark mode on my WordPress site? = Go to **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Appearance** and toggle **Dark Mode** on. Visitors get a floating button to switch between light and dark. The engine is DarkReader and works with any theme. = How do I put my WordPress site in maintenance mode? = Go to **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Site Access Modes** and enable **Maintenance Mode**. Visitors see a maintenance screen; admins keep full access to the backend. = How do I create a coming soon page? = Enable **Coming Soon Mode** under **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Site Access Modes**. Visitors see a full-page coming-soon screen before launch; administrators keep full site access. = How do I add Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager without editing theme files? = Go to **ExtenderX → Custom Code**, click **Add Snippet**, paste your tracking code, choose **Header** (``), **Body Open** (after ``), or **Footer** (before ``) as the injection point, and save. Works for Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, AdSense, and verification tags — no theme file edits needed. = How do I add an announcement bar or notification bar? = Enable **Announcement Bar** under **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Marketing**. Set your message, colors, position, and whether visitors can dismiss it. = How do I add a sticky header to my WordPress site? = Enable **Sticky Header** under **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Navigation & Scrolling**. Your existing header stays fixed at the top of the viewport as visitors scroll. = How do I add a scroll progress bar? = Enable **Scroll Progress Bar** under **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Navigation & Scrolling**. = How do I add a back to top button to my WordPress site? = Enable **Back to Top Button** under **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Navigation & Scrolling**. Pro adds a matching Scroll to Bottom button with the same style options; both can be active simultaneously. = How do I add a falling snow or seasonal animation effect? = Go to **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Seasonal Effects** and enable **Winter Snow**, **Autumn Leaves**, or **Falling Hearts** (all free). Pro unlocks Spring Petals, Summer Bubbles, Christmas Lights, Fireworks, Halloween Bats, Ramadan Lanterns, and more. All effects respect the visitor's "reduce motion" preference automatically. = How does content protection work? = Under **ExtenderX → Site Enhancements → Content Protection**, toggle any combination of: Disable Right Click, Disable Copy, Disable Inspect, Disable Image Drag, or Hide Admin Bar on Frontend. Each operates independently. = What is Save & Go? = Save & Go adds a menu to the post editor (block and classic) that saves your post and then jumps to the next step: a new post, the post list, the next or previous post, or the front end. Those five actions are free. Pro adds Save & Duplicate, Save & Return, Save & View in New Window, and Bulk Add for creating many posts from a list of titles. = Can I add a WhatsApp chat button to my site? = Yes, with ExtenderX Pro. Enable **Sticky WhatsApp Button** under **Site Enhancements → Marketing**. = Does ExtenderX include cookie consent and GDPR tools? = Yes, with ExtenderX Pro. Enable **Cookie Consent** or **GDPR Notice** under **Site Enhancements → Site Access Modes**. = Does ExtenderX support RTL languages? = Yes. ExtenderX ships full RTL stylesheet support for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, and other right-to-left languages. = How do I show or hide a block on mobile, tablet, or desktop? = In the Block Editor, select a block, open the **ExtenderX** panel, and use **Visibility Control** to toggle visibility per device independently. Visibility is applied with CSS — no duplicate HTML content. = How do I make an entire block clickable? = Enable **Wrapper Link** in the ExtenderX panel for any block and enter a URL. The entire block becomes a clickable link on the frontend. = How do I upgrade to ExtenderX Pro? = Click **Upgrade to Pro** inside the ExtenderX dashboard, or visit [wpxero.com/plugins/extenderx/pricing](https://wpxero.com/plugins/extenderx/pricing?utm_source=wporg&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=faq-upgrade).

Free, and off until you enable it. * New: Accessibility toolbar — a floating button opening a panel of display controls, grouped into Text, Color, Content and Motion. Covers text size, a readable font, left-aligned text, high contrast, inverted colors, grayscale, a light background, underlined links, highlighted headings, hidden images and paused motion. * New: Quick profiles — Low vision, Dyslexia, Focus and Seizure safe presets that switch on a matching set of tools in one click, using only the tools you have enabled. * New: Visitor preferences are remembered from page to page, stored in the visitor's own browser.
