I did everything, step-by-step, exactly the same and for some reason its not working for me. Been trying and adjusting for hours.

you are amazing. thank you for this great tutorial

[@MarvinMüller-n3m]

Great video, the effect looks simply amazing! I've watched your video several times now, but unfortunately, I'm encountering an error. The effect works very well in Elementor, but when I open the website in a new private browser tab, the opacity of the cursor effect is at 100 percent, and it looks like a long circle.

[@djmonty8137]

I love it! Thank you so much!

[@LytboxStudio]

Thanks! 🙏

[@BunDemm]

Loved the effect, love your work can we make this effect more interesting with using gyroscope when on mobile instead of taping?

[@SMSayem-j7t]

That's really amazing Jeff. But there is a issue with mobile responsiveness . That is- Suppose there is three cards and just refresh the page from mobile then when you click a card for the first time then it's not showing the glowing effect just but then if i click another card then here it's working well. Please tell me about this issue i will be very greatfull to you.. Thanks Jeff...

[@LytboxStudio]

Thanks for reporting this. I’ll check it out and make updates to the code asap

[@gotbassmusic]

Thanks so much Jeff! These videos are very inspirational, and informative. Really appreciate you for making these. Definitely going to be adding these effects to my own site🙏🏽

So good to hear!

[@WebhustleDE]

Hey, I have a question. When I duplicated it, it doesn´t have the hover effect anymore. What did I do wrong? The original container still has it though, just not the duplicate. Anyway cool tutorial and super helpful

[@LytboxStudio]

Check the css and class and make sure that's all there. And thanks!

[@LytboxStudio]

🙏

[@jason.durocher]

I really like these tutorials. They are just excellent! Q: how would this effect work on a tablet or phone screen? I’m guessing since you can’t hover over it, this wouldn’t really work on those devices, right?

[@LytboxStudio]

Hey thanks Jason! It wouldn’t do anything on mobile. If you have an iPad with Apple Pencil. You can see hover effects by hovering the pencil close to the screen. I’m not sure about Android tablets.

[@t0mwhazzup]

Great feature. I just tried to implement it step by step. Works fine, except for that my blob is not circular, but more oval with more stretch in the vertical axis. What could that be? I think I followed along each step of your tutorial. And another question (not related to my problem): what does the fakeblob do?

[@LytboxStudio]

Sounds like something is off with the border-radius. The fake blob acts like a mask to cover the blob.

[@t0mwhazzup]

@@LytboxStudio 50% all the way round for both the blob and fake-blob. Thanks for your great work, I'm just getting into your channel. Really great content on there for people starting out like me. Well-paced, great explanations and easy to understand and follow along. Subscribed!

[@t0mwhazzup]

@@LytboxStudio When I put in the CSS that the --blob-size: 500px instead of 250 px, it get's almost round. Seems to be that the height is not relative to the width. No clue.

[@t0mwhazzup]

@@LytboxStudio Okay, I tailored the solution myself. I think in your case it works out circular because 250px width and 80% height (of the container) is almost the same dimension. But if that's not the case, it will be oval, not circular. In order to avoid that, I needed to give the same attributes for selector .blob to width and height as well as left and top: width: var(--blob-size); height: var(--blob-size); left: calc(50% - calc(var(--blob-size)/2)); top: calc(50% - calc(var(--blob-size)/2));

[@yann3771]

Hey thanks for the tuto ! The effect is really cool. Perhaps, I have trouble getting the first card working. When I first saw the tutorial and followed it on my website everything was working really fine. And recently, I have no freakin idea why. My first card doesn't want to glow. The hover effect applied on the card work but the glowing effect doesn't want to work and I really don't know why ! I hope you can help me about it :))

Do you have animated border effect video? Not only on hover.

[@WebsiteStudiosOfficial]

Nice little tutorial Jeff!

[@LytboxStudio]

Thanks!🙏

[@maybenotthebest2935]

It looks amazing. But how can i change size of a blob? My card is kinda long and blob looks like huge oval and i dont know how to fix it. I hope you can give me a hint!

[@TomBraeuer711]

same! any solution for this? @LytboxStudio

[@ulidirkhaide]

I have no idea why, but when I scroll down on the page, there is a shadow (from above) in the card as soon I get to it. Any Idea how to fix it?

[@SmartHomeKeeper]

That's awesome! But doesn't work after today's Elementor Update(((

[@aminrezahajiasgari3072]

Could you please explain how to make it responsive?

Hi! Thanks for the trick :) Question : what do you use to have the left sidebar 14:49 that fives you access to current tabs and apps?

That's the Arc Browser. You gotta check it out, game changer!

[@LytboxStudio]

The same, just add to the container wrapping your header like you did the card

[@thatdudepaco]

I wish we could get your JSON file from that so we could save time. Do you think you could save this as a template and give us the download link? But Anyway, thank you for that video. :)

[@clashwithklaas1285]

hey, if i want to add the code snippets, it tells me i have to upgrade elementor and pay. is this neccesary?

[@danzy4474]

Love this, Im trying to use it with a loop grid but the containers after the first one do not get the effect? Is there any reason why? Would be awesome to use this on a loop grid.

[@tynegeemajor]

i dont know whats happening but the effect works only on the backend..

[@phoenixblood1986]

Is this possible in Elementor Free? I really wanna use this effect for a client.

​@@LytboxStudio Unfortunately KZbin removes comments that contain external links. It's on my youtube channel, last video from 2 weeks ago. There are also three demopages. One with a card design created with containers, similar to what you did. A second demo that works with the iconbox widget and a third demo with a loop-grid-widget. All code is on the page

[@kelvinahante747]

thanks alot, but can this be done on the free version of elementor?

[@muadmz]

Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. A question from my side: I have done this effect within my Crocoblock's Jetengine Listing, using Elementor Pro. Everything works fine when I preview the listing within the template editor. However, when I add the listing to my site page and view it on the front end, the hover effect does not seem to work.

[@timvankoningsbruggen5962]

same...

[@babakb5366]

Same

[@muadmz]

According to Crocoblock support, it seems the issue is that the code doesn't work in a listing where multiple containers are shown. But they can't help on this as this is not related to their plugin scope. Maybe you can help in this.

Am facing a problem.. I can see the effect in elementor builder but not on the frontend of the website..

[@timvankoningsbruggen5962]

same here... :/

[@kpviper7]

First off, I love this affect, however... Where the heck are you finding this feature "Container"? I have elementor pro and I'm not seeing it anywhere? AM I just blind or am I missing something? I use columns, but I've never seen containers? I started to follow along but got stuck really fast when I did not see containers or how you were editing the gap size? I went to the gaps from the main column (container), but once there the option to edit is "Layout" not container? Again, am I missing something? Thanks

[@LytboxStudio]

Sounds like you’re using the old version with Sections and Columns. To switch to containers, go to your dashboard > Elementor settings > Features and turn on containers. But also, look up changing from sections to containers, it’s a big change in Elementor

[@kpviper7]

@@LytboxStudio How do you get the containers to be side by side? I can only get them to stack on top of each other. In your video they are side by side?

[@LytboxStudio]

@@kpviper7 you need to use the flex controls in the container widget. Going from sections to containers has a learning curve but it’s well worth it. I’d check out a few containers videos. Living with Pixels has a really good one. Basically, is your containers, in the first tab you’ll see a bunch of options, those are your flex controls. To get the content side by side loom for the option with 3 bars vertically stacked.

I mean this is super cool but like why doesnt anyone ever cover designing for mobile then scaling up to desktop. Most your audience including me love desktops but many people aka visistors don't use a desktop. Would love to see some cool mobile stuff in this category.

[@LytboxStudio]

Good question. The thing about effects on mobile, they can work against the user experience and need to be very carefully implemented. I have some effect videos coming up and will highlight when it’s also good for mobile.

[@heyyounotyouyou3761]

Well one of the first video of hyperplexed does this with simple html, css and js. I just didn't know why you need GUI editor as a programmer, it just makes it more time consuming and restrictive to write code.

[@LytboxStudio]

@@heyyounotyouyou3761 just add code the way it works best for you. It’s that simple. Some of us add all our code in a child theme, some in a code management plugin. Some of us build our own MU plugins. If you’re a programmer, then use the method then use what works best for you. But keep this in mind, if I only show the most advanced way for adding a code snippet into a Wordpress site, most people would get lost and overwhelmed. Many here are beginners trying to learn. I want to make sure everyone has a chance to learn and for those of use more advanced already, then use your own advanced methods.
