Frequently asked questions
Does my theme need to support a specific hook?
Yes — your theme must include the wp_body_open() function call right after the opening tag. Most modern themes support this. If transitions don’t appear, that’s the first thing to check. See how to verify →
Will PageFluent slow down my site?
No. All animations run client-side and are designed to have minimal impact on performance. Transitions actually mask loading time, which can improve perceived speed.
Do I need to know how to code?
Not at all. Everything is configured from a simple settings panel. Documentation and video tutorials are available if you need guidance.
What are the minimum requirements?
WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 8.1+.
Where can I report a bug or request a feature?
Use the support forum on WordPress.org for the free version, or contact us directly at wp-jutsu.com for Pro support.
