Fantastic!
by WebDragon·8 years ago
Love this. Made parallax sections work, and in the simplest manner possible. I’ve seen a few other attempts at parallaxing on wordpress and every one of them was messy in implementation.
Only thing missing, IMHO, is the ability to identify sections via name/title and not just ID i.e., [parallax-scroll name=”special event carousel”] or [parallax-scroll title=”featured”] instead of [parallax-scroll id=”419″] as it makes identifying which is which much easier when looking at several of them on the target page editor.
Doesn’t work on mobile.

Why do no parallax plugins support mobile? I had to create the CSS myself so it is possible.

Whenever I try to “Add New” on the Parallax Scroll page, some error occurs and I have to go back to the main dashboard.
