Divi page transition effects

The Divi theme is a popular WordPress theme that allows users to create stunning websites with ease. One of the features that can enhance the user experience is adding page transition effects. These effects can make the website feel more dynamic and engaging.

To achieve page transition effects in Divi, you can use a combination of CSS and JavaScript. Here’s an example of how you can implement a fade-in transition effect when navigating between pages:

/* CSS */
.page-fade-in {
  opacity: 0;
  transition: opacity 0.5s ease-in-out;
}

.page-fade-in.active {
  opacity: 1;
}

// JavaScript
(function($) {
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('.page-fade-in').addClass('active');
  });

  $(window).on('beforeunload', function() {
    $('.page-fade-in').removeClass('active');
  });
})(jQuery);

In this example, we define a CSS class .page-fade-in that sets the initial opacity to 0 and adds a transition effect. The JavaScript code adds the class active to the elements with the .page-fade-in class when the page is loaded, triggering the fade-in effect. When navigating away from the page, the active class is removed, triggering the fade-out effect.

To use this code snippet, you would need to add it to your child theme’s CSS file and JavaScript file. You can also enqueue the JavaScript file using the wp_enqueue_script function in your theme’s functions.php file.

This code snippet can be useful for websites built with the Divi theme that want to add smooth transition effects between pages. It provides a visually appealing way to navigate through the website and can enhance the overall user experience.

Examples

Example 1: Adding a Fade-in Transition Effect to Divi Sections

This example demonstrates how to add a fade-in transition effect to Divi sections using CSS. The code snippet targets the section class and applies a CSS transition property to gradually fade in the section when it becomes visible.

/* CSS */
.wpsnippets_fade-in-transition {
    opacity: 0;
    transition: opacity 0.5s ease-in-out;
}

.wpsnippets_fade-in-transition.is-visible {
    opacity: 1;
}

Explanation: The CSS code defines a class .wpsnippets_fade-in-transition with an initial opacity of 0 and a transition property for the opacity with a duration of 0.5 seconds and an ease-in-out timing function. When the section becomes visible (e.g., through scrolling or other triggers), the class .is-visible is added to the section, which sets the opacity to 1, resulting in a fade-in effect.

Example 2: Creating a Slide-up Transition Effect for Divi Rows

This example showcases how to create a slide-up transition effect for Divi rows using CSS. The code snippet targets the row class and applies a CSS transition property to smoothly slide up the row when it becomes visible.

/* CSS */
.wpsnippets_slide-up-transition {
    transform: translateY(100%);
    transition: transform 0.5s ease-in-out;
}

.wpsnippets_slide-up-transition.is-visible {
    transform: translateY(0);
}

Explanation: The CSS code defines a class .wpsnippets_slide-up-transition with an initial transform property that translates the row 100% vertically downwards. It also sets a transition property for the transform with a duration of 0.5 seconds and an ease-in-out timing function. When the row becomes visible, the class .is-visible is added to the row, which sets the transform to its original position (translateY(0)), resulting in a slide-up effect.

Example 3: Applying a Zoom-in Transition Effect to Divi Modules

This example illustrates how to apply a zoom-in transition effect to Divi modules using CSS. The code snippet targets the module class and applies a CSS transition property to gradually zoom in the module when it becomes visible.

/* CSS */
.wpsnippets_zoom-in-transition {
    transform: scale(0.8);
    transition: transform 0.5s ease-in-out;
}

.wpsnippets_zoom-in-transition.is-visible {
    transform: scale(1);
}

Explanation: The CSS code defines a class .wpsnippets_zoom-in-transition with an initial transform property that scales the module to 80% of its original size. It also sets a transition property for the transform with a duration of 0.5 seconds and an ease-in-out timing function. When the module becomes visible, the class .is-visible is added to the module, which sets the transform to its original size (scale(1)), resulting in a zoom-in effect.
