HOW TO USE Install and activate the plugin Inside the WordPress BLock Editor or Site Editor, find the “Lottie Animation” block and add it. Add a URL or upload the JSON file of your preferred animation. Check the animation settings on the right sidebar, where you can control the options, such as interactivity mode & state, animation speed, delay, add a link and much more. Put the block inside a group or column to have controll over its dimensions, positioning, backgroung color, etc. Limitations With some FSE themes, the animation may not be rendered within the Site Editor (not to be confused with the Gutenberg block editor) when set inside a template or template part, but it works properly on the front end regardless. This is due to the fact that the Site Editor is still in Beta state and event listeners are not properly applied. Following WordPress updates are expected to fix this.
