FAQ
-
Does this work with Divi 5?
-
Yes — Sparkle for Divi is built and tested specifically for Divi 5. The class is added via Advanced Attributes Class.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin loads two small files on the frontend (CSS + JS, under 30 KB total). The Live Editor loads only inside the Divi Builder — never on the visitor-facing page. Animations only run when the module is visible in the viewport. A global cap of 400 particles prevents runaway scenarios.
-
Does it support accessibility?
-
Yes. Enable “Respect prefers-reduced-motion” in the Settings tab to automatically disable animations for visitors who prefer less motion.
-
Can I create my own presets?
-
Yes — click Duplicate on any preset to create a personal copy with your own class name, title and description.
-
Can I apply multiple presets to one module?
-
Yes — separate up to 3 class names with a space in the CSS Class field.
-
What is the Live Editor?
-
The Live Editor is a floating panel that opens directly on your page. Adjust sliders and see the sparkle effect update instantly — no switching between tabs. When happy, click Save preset to persist the changes.
-
Does it work in the Divi visual editor?
-
Sparkles are designed for the frontend. Apply the class, save, and view the live page to see the effect. Use the Live Editor (⚡ Live Preview button) to fine-tune directly in the Divi Builder.
