Spotlight Effects for Divi 5

A glow that follows the cursor across your pricing card. A bright line tracing the border of a feature box. A slow drift of light on a card nobody has touched yet. Add a cursor-aware highlight to any Divi 5 section, row, column or module — pick a style, and you’re done.

Divi 5 Ready

Follow the cursor

Let your layout react to the visitor

Spotlight Effects turns any element into a light source: a soft glow, a bright line around its border, or both — in one color or two for a gradient, at the size and intensity you choose. It follows the cursor on hover, leans toward it from across the page, or drifts along a path of its own. All inside the Visual Builder, with a live preview. No CSS, no extra module, no third-party library.

Not just Cards

The spotlight is not only for small elements. This whole section has one: move your cursor across it and the light follows, lifting the background as it goes and picking out the edge as it passes. Sections, rows, columns and modules all take the same settings.

Everything Included

One switch, every element

Particle Effects ships with everything you need to design an effect that fits your page, not a generic canned animation.

Three Ways to Light It

A glow across the element, a line around its border, or both.

Works on Every Element

Sections, rows, columns and modules alike.

Follows the Cursor

On hover, from across the page, or not at all.

Lights the Border You Designed

Inherits your radius, matches your border width.

Card by Card

Blog posts, portfolio items and gallery images each light up on their own.

One Color or Two

A single hue, or a second one for a gradient.

Moves on Its Own

Five paths, from a slow circle to a figure eight.

Built to Stay Fast

No stylesheet at all. Loads only where it is used, pauses off screen.

Made to be noticed

It follows the cursor, lights every card in a grid on its own, or moves before anyone arrives. The button below is doing the last one — hover it and it hands over.

Follows the Cursor

The light tracks the pointer across the card, or leans toward it from anywhere on the page.

Card by Card

On a blog or a gallery, every item lights on its own. Enable it once on the module.

Moves on Its Own

Set it animating and the light circles the edge until a visitor takes over.
