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
