Description
Allaxi turns ordinary images and video into interactive, drag-to-reveal visual stories — right inside WordPress, with no coding. Build a widget in a live editor, style it to match your site, and drop a shortcode into any post or page.
Three modes
Before / After
A classic two-image reveal. Drag a handle to wipe between a « before » and an « after » image — great for restorations, renovations, retouching, and any change worth showing off. Crossfading labels, a fully styleable reveal line and handle, an optional background box, and title + info captions.
Timeline (Pro)
A multi-frame scrub. Add a sequence — steps in a recipe, stages of a build, years of a changing view — and let visitors scrub along a styleable track with dated or labelled markers. Panel or pop-up bubble captions, horizontal or vertical layout, floating or docked controllers, and full control over track, nodes and labels.
Video — Storyboard to Clip (Pro)
Pair a hand-drawn storyboard sketch with a short video clip. As the visitor drags the handle, the sketch is revealed into the finished footage AND the video scrubs in sync, so a concept visibly becomes its final form. Set a « match point » so the drawing lines up with the matching video frame, add an optional « fade sketch out » dissolve, and drop transparent PNG overlays (e.g. director’s notes) over the sketch or the clip. Use a local video upload (smooth, frame-accurate) or a YouTube link.

Uninstall
Allaxi cleans up after itself. When you delete the plugin from the Plugins screen — and only if you have enabled « Remove data on uninstall » in Settings — it removes everything it created: its settings and options, its install date, and every Before/After, Timeline and Video widget you built (stored as its own hidden post type). On a multisite network the same clean-up runs for each site. Deactivating keeps everything; only deleting runs the clean-up, and it runs only when you have opted in. Your Media Library images are never touched — Allaxi only references them, so your originals always stay in place.

Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/, or install the plugin ZIP from the Plugins screen. - Activate Allaxi from the Plugins screen.

FAQ
-
How do I add a widget to a page?
-
Build it in the Allaxi editor, then copy the shortcode shown under the live preview (for example
[allaxi id="123"]) and paste it into any post or page. -
What video format should I use?
-
Compress phone or camera footage before uploading — aim for 720p, 30fps, H.264 MP4, web-optimised, 1–3 MB. The plugin ships a step-by-step encoding guide (HandBrake + ffmpeg, Mac and PC), linked from the in-dashboard manual. Prefer a local upload over YouTube where you can — it scrubs more smoothly.
-
Do my before and after images need to be the same size?
-
Yes. For a clean reveal, both images should share the same width and height in pixels; crop them to matching dimensions before uploading.

Journal des modifications
0.7.5
- Hardening: the preview REST endpoint now verifies the user may edit the specific instance being previewed (not just a broad capability), and that the ID is an Allaxi instance.
- Hardening: shortcode output is now passed through wp_kses against an explicit allow-list of the tags and attributes the widget uses.
- Improved: the « Pro feature not installed » editor message is now a plain informational note (shown only for instances built with the separate Pro add-on), and the in-editor upgrade panel copy was expanded and a display bug fixed.
0.7.4
- Fixed: on some setups a block of developer notes could appear as visible text over a slider on the front end. Internal notes are now kept fully out of the page output.
- Fixed: the « Change image » / « Change video » / « Change overlay » buttons in the editor no longer push the small clear (×) button out of their column on narrower layouts. The button now shrinks neatly and the × stays in place.
0.7.3
- Security hardening for the WordPress.org review: the bundled documentation renderer now HTML-escapes all text before formatting and passes link URLs through esc_url(). It only ever processes the plugin’s own docs, so there is no functional or visible change.
0.7.2
- Code hygiene for the WordPress.org review: prefixed all template-scope variables, and clarified the input-sanitising and dynamic-action annotations. No functional or visible changes.
0.7.1
- Added the plugin readme and documentation, and finalised the in-dashboard User Manual and examples gallery.
0.7.0
- New Video mode (Pro) — « Storyboard to Clip »: pair a storyboard sketch with a video clip; dragging reveals the footage and scrubs the video in sync.
- Full Video editor: storyboard + clip pickers, local upload or YouTube source, auto-grabbed clip thumbnail, and a tunable « match point ».
- « Fade sketch out » reveal option with an adjustable fade-start point.
- Per-layer PNG overlays for the storyboard and the clip.
- YouTube source support via the iframe API, with a paste-a-link/embed modal.
- Examples gallery expanded: Before/After, Timeline (horizontal + vertical) and both Video methods.
- New in-dashboard User Manual (with a linked step-by-step video-encoding guide).
0.6.10
- Timeline: vertical-right caption bubble with a label heading and rolling caption.
