It’s on WordPress.org. Or go to Plugins, Add New, and search for Grinner Blocks.

3

Draw the border

Turn on Gradient border, choose two colors and a width, add Animate if you want it to flow, then publish.

Good to know

Fair questions.

They are a Grinner upgrade to Group and Columns. Any border can be dashed or dotted on the sides you choose, or a two color ring can sit just inside the edge and flow slowly around the block. Use them to frame a card or offer so it stands out.

No. Line style restyles a WordPress border, and can’t be used with the gradient border.

On mouse devices it disappears if the section also has a Gradient sweep or Image zoom hover.

Two only, and the angle stops applying while Animate is on.

It stays still and visible.

Pairs well with

Try it with these.

Turn a section, or each block in it, into a card with one switch.

Little crop marks drawn on a box’s corners.

Stripes, dots, checks or a flowing gradient inside a button.
