Using the Shortcode

You can also insert animations anywhere using the [svg_automotion] shortcode.

Basic example:

[svg_automotion src=»2025/10/automotionlogo.svg»]

You can combine multiple effects:

[svg_automotion src=»2025/10/automotionlogo.svg» fade=»true» slide=»true» rotate=»false» scale=»true» duration=»4000″]

You can also add a link to the shortcode [svg_automotion src=»2025/10/automotionlogo.svg» fade=»true» slide=»true» rotate=»false» scale=»true» duration=»4000″ link_url=»https://wordpress.org» link_newtab=»true» ]

Parameters: — src — relative or full URL path to your SVG file — fade, rotate, scale, slide — enable/disable each effect — duration — total animation time in milliseconds — link_url — url to link to (optional) — link_newtab — set to true if you wish the link to open in a new tab
