While working on the project of my digital Agency, I often get trapped in a problem. As many of our clients ask to make a part of their WordPress website blink but there are almost no valid methods available to make WordPress webpage blink.

When I talked with many other webmasters, I often got amazed as they also found this issue in their journey of web mastership.

So, in this article, we are going to talk about the ways to blink a text or button in the WordPress CMS.

There is almost two ways to Blink text in WordPress. These two are listed below in a very detailed manner:

Plugin:

We can blink the WordPress website through a WordPress plugin and currently, there is only one plugin available for this purpose. The Plugin which can help you regarding this is listed below:

what to Blink

For example:

I have to blink “apdigi.in” in my WordPress-based webpage, I have to write

newsbuddy.in

and it will start blinking.

We have learned how we can blink the text through wordpress plugins. Now, we are going to learn how we can blink the text through CSS.

Note: This method is useful for every type of website powered by any web development technology starting from Raw HTML, Ruby or any other.

For example – We have to blink a text “blinking text”.

Here is an HTML page

<!DOCTYPE html>
&alt;html>
<head>
<meta charset="ISO-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="BlinkingTotalText.css">
<title>Blinking Text</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Demo for Blinking Entire Text</h2>
<p class="a1">Blinking Text in CSS defined as changing color of the text with
equal time intervals.</p>
<p class="a2">Blinking Text is using when updating important news in the news
website. Because it is human tendency to look at the things which are
changing continuously. So, by making the text blink takes some
attention very quickly.</p>
</body>
</html>

and the required CSS code for the HTML to blink the text is

h2{
color: green;
}
.a1, .a2{
animation:blinking 1.5s infinite;
font-size: 20px;
}
@keyframes blinking{
0%{   color: red;   }
47%{   color: #000; }
62%{   color: transparent; }
97%{   color:transparent; }
100%{  color: #000;   }
}

the output of the whole coding we have done above is

Output

From the above, we learned how we can blink text when it is in HTML format. Now, we will learn how we can do this for WordPress.

To blink the text in WordPress you need to paste the above CSS code in the “Additional CSS classes” of the block you want to blink.
