Title: Blur Text Author: Linnea Huxford Published: September 17, 2015 Last modified: December 29, 2024 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/blur-text/assets/banner-772x250.jpg?rev=1247805) ![](https://ps.w.org/blur-text/assets/icon-128x128.jpg?rev=1247805) # Blur Text By [Linnea Huxford](https://profiles.wordpress.org/linsoftware/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/blur-text.2.0.0.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/blur-text/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/blur-text/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/blur-text/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/blur-text/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/blur-text/) ## Description Use the shortcode [blur][/blur] to blur text. For example: [blur]This text will be blurred[/blur] Optionally, you can set the blur to be removed when the user clicks or hovers on it. Here are the shortcode examples for that: [blur toggle=click]This text will be blurred until it’s clicked on[/blur] [blur toggle=hover]This text will be blurred until it’s hovered over[/blur] Be default, the blurred text color will be black. You can specify a different color like this: [blur color=orange]This text will be orange, even when blurred.[/blur] [blur color=#00FF00]This text will be green, even when blurred.[/blur] ## Screenshots * [[ * An example of blurred text. * [[ * An example of blackout text on unsupported browsers. ## Installation 1. Install the plugin in wp-content\plugins 2. Activate the Plugin 3. Use one of these shortcodes around your text: [blur][/blur] [blur toggle=click][/ blur] [blur toggle=hover][/blur] ## FAQ ### Can I have the blurred text revealed only to members, only after a form is submitted, or in some other context? I may write a premium plugin that has these features. However, I need suggestions as to exactly what type of features I should add. If you would like me to customize this plugin for you so that it shows the blurred text only in a specific context, I may be able to program a custom plugin for you.

Easy and flexible, I guess u can do a lot of things with it, its so open to the imagination. It could be so useful in education to help etudents to improve their leaning and understanding skills. I will use it in deep to make learning exercices, quizes and so at my high schoool http://www.ohtiana. link and http://www.comprensionlectora.com Maybe the chance to “no more see” the text after the user see it one time could be an useful addon… Realy thank you so much.
