Hello!

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a CSS animation in WordPress. CSS animations can add dynamism and life to your website and are relatively easy to implement.

To get started, you’ll need to access your WordPress dashboard and create a new post or page. Once you’ve entered the content editor, follow these steps:

1. Create an element you want to animate. For example, you can create a heading using the WordPress heading tool or insert an image using the image tool.
2. Add a class to your element. To do this, click on the element and then on the “Advanced” button in the WordPress toolbar. In the “CSS Class” field, enter the name of the class you want to use (e.g., “my-animation”).
3. Create a CSS rule for your class. To do this, go to “Appearance > Customize” in your WordPress dashboard and then select “Additional CSS” in the sidebar menu. Add a CSS rule for your class using the following format:

.my-animation {
    /* Animation properties */
    animation: animation-name duration direction;
}

4. Define the properties of your animation. There are many properties you can use to customize your animation, such as duration, direction, and easing type. For example, to create an animation that takes 1 second to complete and uses a smooth easing, you could use the following code:

.my-animation {
    animation: my-animation 1s ease;
}

5. Define the keyframes of your animation. Keyframes represent the states of your element at different points in the animation. For example, if you want your heading to move from right to left, you could use the following keyframes:

@keyframes my-animation {
    0% {
        transform: translateX(0);
    }
    100% {
        transform: translateX(-100%);
    }
}

With this, you have a basic CSS animation on your WordPress site.

With a little practice and creativity, you can create more complex and eye-catching animations!
