This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Description

The Effect Maker allows you to customize JavaScript effects like scrollers, slide shows and messengers with your own texts, fonts and images. No JavaScript development skills are needed. With a few clicks you can start creating your own effects. You can have several customizations of one type of effect in your site. All standard web fonts are supported and if you like you can specify your own custom font if you support it by your HTML/CSS3 setup or template. To see the effects in action look at our gallery. Get the Pro edition for even more effects.

The following effects are included:

Effect Maker is integrated into WordPress as a plugin. It inserts an option in the administration menu which you click to create your configurations. Configurations are saved in the wordpress database. Images and media are selected from the standard WordPress media gallery.

Your effects can then easily be inserted into your posts by specifying the location in the editor and then clicking on “add effect” with the configuration that you made. An effect icon marks the location of your effect.

Multiple configurations effects are supported in a single wordpress site, thanks to the JavaScript instancing technology in Effect Maker.

Important Note! If you need to integrate the JavaScripts into your WordPress themes or headers then we recommend using the desktop versions of Effect Maker which generates physical standalone .js files and which you can download [here] (http://www.effectmaker.com/download/).

Internet Explorer 9.0, Chrome, Opera and Firefox supported. Some effects may work on earlier versions of Internet Explorer down to version 8.0.

FAQ

Where can I get support?

If you have any problems with the software, whether it is the basic or pro version or you just want to give feedback, don’t hesitate to contact us at Mandomartis support.

I see strange behaviour when inserting the same configuration name into a page several times

Only a single configuration name is supported per page. This happens because the function names and variables are named the same in the scripts, thus conflicting with each other. However as a workaround, you can open the configuration in Effect Maker, save it under another name and insert it together with the first configuration, even if you didn’t do any changes.

My images appear strange and too big for the effect

Make sure that the images you upload are of roughly the same size like the effect area (width and height fields).

My image based effect doesn’t work

Make sure that the images you have specified really exist in your upload folder or image gallery. Some effects (like Image Scroller) crashes if the images don’t exist. This could happen if you delete images from your upload folder or image gallery and you have effects that depend on those images.

How do I get more effects in my Effect Maker library?

If you have the basic edition which is the free, upgrade to the pro edition which has many more effects!

I have other questions!
