Drop Shadow Boxes

Drop Shadow Boxes highlight important content on your posts, pages and widget areas. Personalise the box with drop shadow effects like raised, lifted and perspective and choose whether the box has an inside shadow, outside shadow and rounded corners. The plugin includes a widget and shortcode builder with a preview so you can test your box before adding it. The shadows will display correctly on most browsers - some older versions of Internet Explorer may not display the shadows - but they will display the box with the content so nothing will be missing on the page. See the examples of drop shadow boxes to see how the plugin performs on your browser: I'm offering this plugin free of charge. If you use it and like it please consider giving it a rating. Stay in touch by following me on facebook: Steven Henty Instructions The plugin itself doesn't require any configuration. There isn't a setting page. You can access the widget from the Widgets dashboard page - drag, drop and configure as you would any other widget. Look for the Drop Shadow Box block in the new block editor (Gutenberg). The shortcode builder in the classic editor allows you to add Drop Shadow Boxes to posts and pages. You can access it from the media toolbar while you're editing the post/page by clicking on the box icon next to the upload/insert media button. Shortcode Reference If you prefer not to use the shortcode builder, or if you'd like to modify an existing drop shadow box here's the shortcode reference guide.
