Why Text Typing?
Text Typing is a lightweight WordPress plugin that adds realistic animated typing effects to your headings and text – directly inside the Gutenberg block editor, with no coding required. Write a prefix, one or more rotating typing lines, and a suffix, then fine-tune the speed, delay, looping, and cursor to match your design.
Perfect for hero sections, banners, headlines, and call-to-action areas, it lets you highlight key messages with an engaging, modern typing animation. Six ready-made themes are included free, scripts load only on pages that use the block, and a shortcode generator lets you reuse saved typing texts anywhere.
The free plugin is fully functional on its own. A separate Text Typing Pro upgrade adds a complete collection of animated text and heading blocks, all grouped under a single Text Typing category in the block inserter.
Free Features – Everything You Need to Get Started
Animated Typing Text Block: A clean, fully responsive typing animation anywhere in the block editor.
Built-in Themes: Six ready-made themes included free – Default, Terminal, Star Flower, Neon Grid, Aurora Glow, and Cyber Wave.
Prefix & Suffix Text: Add static text before and after the animated typing lines.
Multiple Typing Lines: Add unlimited rotating lines, each with its own color.
Typing Controls: Type Speed, Start Delay, Back Speed, Back Delay, Shuffle, Fade Out Effect, Fade Out Delay, Loop, Loop Count, Cursor, and a custom Cursor Character.
Typography Controls: Customize fonts for the prefix, typing, and suffix text.
Color Controls: Set prefix and suffix text colors.
Layout & Styling: Control alignment (including wide and full block width), padding, border, and background.
Responsive Width: Set the width separately for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Shortcode Generator: Build a saved typing text and reuse it anywhere with a simple shortcode.
Block Manager: Enable or disable individual blocks from the plugin dashboard so the inserter shows only what you use.
Optimized Script Loading: Scripts load only when the block is used, keeping pages fast.
Clean Uninstall Option: Optionally remove all plugin data when you delete the plugin.
Translation Ready: Fully compatible with multilingual websites.
Pro Version – Unlock the Full Animated Text Collection
Text Typing Pro extends the free plugin with a full library of animated text and heading blocks plus advanced styling. All Pro blocks are visible in the inserter so you can preview them; a license unlocks them on the front end.
Pro animated text & heading blocks:
Animated Headline – cinematic, scroll-triggered reveals with letter, word, or line stagger and an optional highlighted word.
Split Text – a staggered reveal where each letter or word animates in one after another.
Rotating Words – a headline with one word that cycles through a list – slide, flip, fade, or zoom.
Scramble Text – a “decode” reveal where letters cycle through random glyphs and settle into place.
Tracking-In Text – headings that reveal by animating letter-spacing with a soft fade.
Number Counter – animated count-up numbers that fire on scroll – perfect for stats and results.
Gradient, Rainbow, Shine, Neon & Glitch Text – bold color and glow effects that are impossible to miss.
Outline, Long Shadow, Sticker & Reflection Text – striking display-heading styles for modern layouts.
Text Mask – show an image or gradient clipped inside bold text – the classic knockout hero effect.
Curved, Circular & Vertical Text – arch text along an arc, wrap it around a circle, or run it vertically.
Text Marquee – an infinite, seamless scrolling text band for “trusted by” rows and tickers.
Split-Flap Text, 3D Tilt Text, Wavy Text & Animated Highlight – playful, interactive attention-grabbers.
More Pro features:
Custom Colors & Gradients: Text, cursor, and background with smooth gradient support.
Text Shadow Effects: Add depth, glow, or emphasis.
Cursor Styling: Change cursor style, size, and color.
Icons for Each Text: Add icons before or after the typing text with size controls.
Full Responsive Settings: Fine-tune font size, alignment, and appearance per device.
Reduced-Motion Aware: Animations honor the visitor’s prefers-reduced-motion setting.
Priority Support: Faster assistance and updates.
