Blur Text

Description

Use the shortcode [blur][/blur] to blur text.

For example:
[blur]This text will be blurred[/blur]

Optionally, you can set the blur to be removed when the user clicks or hovers on it.

Here are the shortcode examples for that:

[blur toggle=click]This text will be blurred until it’s clicked on[/blur]

[blur toggle=hover]This text will be blurred until it’s hovered over[/blur]

Be default, the blurred text color will be black. You can specify a different color like this:

[blur color=orange]This text will be orange, even when blurred.[/blur]

[blur color=#00FF00]This text will be green, even when blurred.[/blur]

  1. Install the plugin in wp-content\plugins
  2. Activate the Plugin
  3. Use one of these shortcodes around your text:
    [blur][/blur]
    [blur toggle=click][/blur]
    [blur toggle=hover][/blur]

Can I have the blurred text revealed only to members, only after a form is submitted, or in some other context?

I may write a premium plugin that has these features. However, I need suggestions as to exactly what type of features I
should add. If you would like me to customize this plugin for you so that it shows the blurred text only in a
specific context, I may be able to program a custom plugin for you. Please contact me at http://www.linsoftware.com/contact/

Perfect and simple

Perfect for hiding spoilers in text without clunky toggle boxes. Exactly what I needed.

Great plugin

"Click" set default would be better, no toggle=click:
[blur]This text will be blurred until it's clicked on[/blur]

Useful

I found it great and useful. Easy and flexible, I guess u can do a lot of things with it, its so open to the imagination.

It could be so useful in education to help etudents to improve their leaning and understanding skills.
I will use it in deep to make learning exercices, quizes and so at my high schoool http://www.ohtiana.link and http://www.comprensionlectora.com

Maybe the chance to "no more see" the text after the user see it one time could be an useful addon...

Realy thank you so much.
