cbParallax

Responsive website background images with a parallax effect and a user friendly interface. Your theme must support Custom Backgrounds, which it most likely does already.

Features

• Background image with a parallax effect
• One image for all pages or each page individual or a mix of both, it’s all up to you
• Serves the whole frontend
• Works vertically and, for fun, horizontally
• Various overlays to choose from

Pré-requis

• Your theme must support the core WordPress implementation of the Custom Backgrounds theme feature.
• In order to use the parallax feature, I decided to set the minimum required image dimensions to 1920px * 1200px, which covers a fullHD screen with a slight vertical parallax movement ( Image height – viewport height, so 1200px – 1080px gives 120px offset to move the image. I hope you get the point here.).
• You most likely need to edit some css in order to « uncover » the background image or parts of it respectively. Your theme’s layout should be « boxed », or an opacity should be added to the page content container for the background image to be seen.
• PHP version 8.0 or above.
