Wordpress Scrolling Animation
Chiquita Mcnicholas
It's pretty tough to troubleshoot without a minimal demo - the issue could be caused by CSS, markup, a third party library, your browser, an external script that's totally unrelated to GSAP, etc. Would you please provide a very simple CodePen or Stackblitz that demonstrates the issue?
Please don't include your whole project. Just some colored elements and the GSAP code is best. See if you can recreate the issue with as few dependancies as possible. If not, incrementally add code bit by bit until it breaks. Usually people solve their own issues during this process! If not, then at least we have a reduced test case which greatly increases your chances of getting a relevant answer.
Thanks for your reply.
I am using wordpress + elementor. Before deploying my code there I tried it on CodePen and everything worked fine, but once i tried to recreate the same thing on my project it didn't go well as you can see in the video.
On top of that I would also make sure to overwrite the scroll-behaviour to auto because if I recall correctly, Elementor will by default set it to smooth, which can also interfere with your scroll related JS at some point.
I hope this will help already. If it doesn't, unfortunatelly we won't be able to help without a minimal demo clearly demonstrating your issue.
Good luck.
I understand why you want to see a minimal demo, in some cases this is not possible, because GSAP is used with Wordpress/Elementor for example.
I am all the more pleased that you are still trying to find solutions, as in this case. That saved my project, so a big THANK YOU!
I think there are many Elementor/GSAP users, it's a nice combination!
@akapowl Thank you so much for this. I've been wracking my brains for the last couple of days trying to figure out why my scrolling animation was jumping at the end in WordPress Elementor however, I didn't realize the issue was a transition CSS effect being applied to the container by Elementor itself.

Hello all,
We have kind of a big issue with our homepage starting by a Full size Easy Slider which appears to shift the triggering of animations below.
This results into starting the animations only when the user is already scrolling to the next section. The last one being started when reaching the bottom of the page (after the footer).
I just notice a bug that when you use the Slider Block, the triggering point of scrolling animation such as Fade Up Small will be broken. For example if I have a section that has a Slider block, then all of my other sections below it, the scroll animation will be funky. (Like you have to scroll very down for the animation to run)
Parallax effect in web design means creating a faux 3D effect. Several objects, which are most often layered on each other, move with a different speed on a scroll or a mouse move, thus giving a sensation of depth. It can work amazingly for product presentations, for example. For the users, it feels like objects can come alive right from their screen, creating an impulse to touch or see them in person.
The good news is that now you can bring to life almost any idea about the parallax effect if you use WordPress and Elementor. The key is to have a great instrument for implementing it, such as Section Parallax, one of 43 design widgets of the JetElements plugin.
Vertical and horizontal scrolls, scrolling zoom, rotation, transparency, blur, and mouse move parallax types are available. With background-position change, transform, and 3D transform animation properties. Different types of it can be applied to each object individually.
Various types of animation effects (such as moving, fading, morphing, color change, etc.) need a trigger to start being executed. One of the most popular triggers is on-scroll (down or up), commonly referred to as scroll animation.
Skeleton screens are a more practical type of preloader. They are basically prototype-like previews of the content that will load, used chiefly on websites with plenty of elements (e.g., YouTube) and dashboards. There is not so much space for creativity, but anything is possible.
Many underestimate the range of possibilities particle effect possesses. There can be a limitless number of color-shape-type-speed combinations: check them here and play with them. And use a widget to paste the generated code right to your Elementor container. Visitors will enjoy interacting with it, for sure.
Adding some little animation on-hover effects on the navigation bars, buttons, or critical page elements would be a fantastic idea, like those dropbars, which can contain important messages or even a contact form.
Morphing is the effect of the seamless and smooth transformation of one object into another. It looks fascinating and draws attention but also gives the feeling that the website is well-conceived and designed with a hint of sophistication. Anything, from illustrations, logos, and even photos, can be morphed, but the key is to balance the number of objects and the intensity.
Upload it to the SVG-to-Lottie convertor on the same website and apply some simple animation effects it offers. For more options, upload your Lottie file (JSON format) to the online editor and make all the tweaks you want. Download the ready Lottie file and enjoy.
One frustrating thing for me about Elementor plugins and add-ons with animation effect widgets: they often miss something, which would be very good to have in the bundle. Hotspots, parallax, or portfolio widgets are omitted in so many plugins, yet they can be very useful.
So, I guess there is no doubt that website animation is essential. The question is what kind of animation effects to use, how complex they should be, and how they can influence the website performance.
It depends on the technologies used for animation, animation types, and whether it was implemented correctly, taking into account optimization requirements. In a nutshell, do not overload with unnecessary motions and unneeded JS frameworks, use CSS preprocessors, be mindful with JavaScript, and make important content available even with the low bandwidth and JS turned off. Yes, and the sacred commandment for any website: mobile-first.
Yes, if they are well-executed. They give a visual signal to users that the website works properly (even if its optimization is not perfect in reality) and keep them engaged from the first second of contact with the website.

The other day I was browsing and found an awesome article by Jurn van Wissen at css-tricks.com. I loved it, and decided to record a video tutorial. The article is about how to create fancy scrolling animation used on Apple product pages.
