Imagehover Addon

The Imagehover Addon lets text links show an image or video on hover. It is useful for project indexes, menus, editorial lists and pages where the image should appear only when a visitor points at a text.

Get the Addon

Buy the Imagehover Addon, then install it as a WordPress plugin.

Add a hover image or video

Select text in a text element and click the link button in the text editor. The regular link modal opens.

The Imagehover Settings accordion inside the link modal overrides the global settings for this one text. Use it when one link needs a different image size, position, timing or movement than the rest.

Global settings live in Lay Options → Imagehover Addon. The options are grouped from trigger behavior to position, sizing, appearance, movement and behavior.
