[Resolved] Animated Icons

[Louis]

Hi!

I just bought GP premium and looking forward to creating… However my coding experience is extremely limited and I’m really just learning as I go.

In short, I’m looking to add animated-on-hover icons to my website which link to category pages upon clicking.

I’ve found some CSS code that should be able to help me do this. More specifically here: (https://github.com/l-lin/font-awesome-animation/blob/master/dist/font-awesome-animation.css)

and through this website: (https://tympanus.net/Development/IconHoverEffects/)
CSS code on Github: (https://github.com/codrops/IconHoverEffects/blob/master/css/component.css)

I’ve installed the Simple CSS plugin as I understand that this prevents me from messing with any parent theme coding.

I tried to copy and paste for instance the font awesome animation code (upper link). However I don’t quite understand how I can put the results into effect on specific icons that I’ve added to a specific blog post for example.

I guess my question is how I can enable certain CSS code to function with specific content on my website.

Sidenote: It’s likely that this might be out of my league and I’m willing to tone down my ambitions if need be.

Alternatively I’d be looking for a more simple implementation of the hover effect, such as the one you can see here: (https://pixelgrade.com/demos/themes/?product=listable) or go with an even more simple solution, which is quite likely where I will end up. 😛

Thanks in advance!

Update: I’ve decided to bail on this ambitious plan and work on my overall design before trying to put this on my plate.

Feel free to discard this topic if need be.

Ok sounds good 🙂 Thanks for letting us know!
