About Crixu Tiltwall
From the official readme · v1.0.2Description
Crixu Tiltwall adds a full-bleed hero block for the block editor whose background is a scrolling image gallery — your photos arranged into columns that auto-scroll endlessly, alternating direction, with an optional flat or 3D parallax-style tilt. A Cover-block-style color overlay sits on top, and any inner blocks (headings, buttons, paragraphs, etc.) render above that, just like the core Cover block.
Use it to build an eye-catching hero section, header, or landing page background without a page builder — a lightweight alternative to the Cover block for sites that want a moving, gallery-driven backdrop instead of a single static image or video.
- Full-bleed hero background built from an image gallery you select in the block editor
- Endless auto-scrolling columns (a background slider effect), alternating direction per column
- Adjustable tilt: none, flat (2D), or 3D parallax-style perspective
- Configurable columns (3–6), scroll speed, and minimum height
- Cover-block style overlay color and opacity
- Respects
prefers-reduced-motionfor accessibility - No build step — works out of the box, no bundler or npm install required
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to
wp-content/plugins/crixu-tiltwall, or install directly through the WordPress plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Add the “Tiltwall” block from the block inserter (category: Design).
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a build step to use or modify this plugin?
No. The editor script is plain JavaScript using WordPress’s registered globals (wp.blocks, wp.element, etc.), so no bundler is required.
How many images do I need?
The block works with any number of images; fewer than the columns × 6 minimum are cycled to fill every column.
How is this different from the Cover block or a background slider plugin?
It’s built to feel like a natural extension of the Cover block — same overlay color/opacity controls, same “place any blocks on top” pattern — but instead of one static image or video, the background is a multi-column image gallery that auto-scrolls with an optional parallax-style tilt.
Will it work with my theme?
Yes. It’s a standard block that renders inside your theme’s content area and doesn’t require a block theme, though it supports wide and full alignment where your theme allows it.
Does the auto-scroll affect accessibility or performance?
Motion automatically stops for visitors with prefers-reduced-motion enabled, and background images are lazy-loaded so they don’t block initial page render.
Changelog
1.0.2
- Hardened
overlayColor(now validated withsanitize_hex_color(), falling back to the default if invalid) andminHeightUnit(now checked against an allowlist of real CSS units) against crafted block attribute values that bypass the editor UI.
1.0.1
- Set an explicit
sizesattribute on hero background images instead of letting WordPress default it to ~100vw. Tiles render at roughly 150-300px, so the default was pulling the largest srcset candidate for every tile — fixing this cut ~636KB off a page with this block in a real-world audit.
1.0.0
- Initial release.
