Try the live demo – test every cursor type and background effect in your browser before you install.
Ultimate Cursor is a custom cursor WordPress plugin. It replaces the default mouse pointer with a custom mouse cursor – text, an image, an icon, a shape, or an animated cursor effect – and it can add an animated background effect to your site. You set everything up in a dashboard with a live preview. No coding is required.
The free plugin is complete on its own: every cursor type, every animated effect, and both background effects are included, and nothing in the dashboard is locked or disabled. Ultimate Cursor Pro is an optional add-on for sites that need interactive hover effects, several cursors, or targeting by page and element.
What you can build
- A WordPress custom cursor that matches your brand: your own text, image, icon, or shape.
- An animated cursor that reacts to mouse movement and clicks.
- An animated background effect behind your pages.
- With Pro, an interactive cursor that reacts to links, buttons, and form fields.
- Five cursor types – Text, Image, Icon, Shape, and Animated. Choose one and style it in the live preview.
- Icon library – 113 built-in icons. The whole library is free.
- Shape cursors – 5 geometric shapes with adjustable color, size, and border.
- Eight animated cursor effects – Bubble, Splash, Snowflake, Trail, Character, Rainbow, Click Spark, and Click Particles.
- Two animated background effects – Antigravity (floating particles) and Light Pillar (a glowing vertical light).
- Live preview – see every change in the dashboard before you save.
- Loads only what you use – scripts load only when an effect is enabled, and each effect is a separate file that is downloaded only when your configuration needs it. When the cursor is hidden on a device, its scripts are not downloaded there.
- Accessibility – the custom cursor is hidden on touch devices, and animations respect the visitor's reduced-motion preference.
- Translation ready – the dashboard and the frontend are fully translatable.
- Text cursor
- Image cursor
- Icon cursor, with 113 built-in icons

- Multiple cursor configurations – run several cursors on one site, for example one for the whole site and another for your portfolio. (See it live)
- Page targeting – show a cursor only on the pages you choose.
- CSS selector targeting – show a cursor only over elements that match a CSS selector.
- HTML element targeting – show a cursor only over the HTML tags you choose.
- 20 more shape cursors – 25 shapes in total, including heart, star, diamond, arrow, blob, squircle, sparkle, pin, and shield. (See them)
- Circular Text cursor – wrap your text around the cursor as a rotating badge. (See it live)
- Image and icon hotspot – choose which point of the image follows the mouse, such as the tip of an arrow. (See it live)
- Settings for every animated effect – emojis, sizes, counts, and speed for Trail and Snowflake; colors, radius, and force for Splash; options for Click Spark and Click Particles; colors for Rainbow; custom characters for Character.
- Background motion controls – magnet and ring radius, field strength, wave, pulse, and rotation for Antigravity; intensity, glow, noise, mouse interaction, blend mode, and quality for Light Pillar.
- Background placement – position, stacking order, and opacity. Limit a background to chosen pages or to a CSS selector.

常见问题:
How do I change the mouse cursor on my WordPress site?
Install Ultimate Cursor, open the Ultimate Cursor menu in your dashboard, choose a cursor type (text, image, icon, shape, or animated effect), adjust it in the live preview, and save. The custom cursor is active as soon as you save. No code or CSS is needed.
Will Ultimate Cursor slow down my website?
The plugin is built to keep its impact small. Scripts load only when an effect is enabled. Each effect is a separate file, so visitors download only what your configuration uses. When the cursor is hidden on a device, its scripts are not downloaded there. Cursor animation pauses while the pointer is still.
Does it work with Elementor?
Yes. The custom cursor and background effects appear on pages built with Elementor. The cursor does not load inside the Elementor editor, so editing is not affected.
Does it work with Gutenberg?
Yes. Ultimate Cursor works on pages and posts built with the block editor. No block is needed.
Does it work with other page builders?
Yes. It works with properly coded themes and page builders, including WPBakery and Divi. The cursor does not load inside page-builder editors.
Does the custom cursor work on mobile?
Touch devices have no mouse cursor, so the custom cursor is hidden there. Background effects are responsive and can run on all screen sizes.
What is Interactive Hover?
Interactive Hover is a Pro feature. It makes the cursor react when a visitor points at a link, a button, or a form field. The cursor can grow, change color, glow, move toward the center of the element, and show a label such as "Open" or "Play".
Can I create different cursors for different pages?
Yes, with Pro. You can create multiple cursor configurations and show each one on the pages you choose. The free plugin applies one cursor to the whole site.
Can I target specific CSS selectors?
Yes, with Pro. A cursor can be limited to elements that match a CSS selector or to specific HTML elements. Interactive Hover also accepts your own CSS selectors.
What background effects are included?
Antigravity (floating particles) and Light Pillar (a glowing vertical light). Both are included in the free plugin with color, size, and shape settings. Pro adds motion controls, placement, targeting, and multiple backgrounds.
Can cursor and background effects be used together?
Yes. Any cursor can be combined with any background effect.
How can I preview Pro features?
Open Ultimate Cursor → Pro Features in your dashboard. Each Pro feature has an animated preview and a link to a live demo that you can try in your browser.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Ultimate Cursor Pro comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Is Ultimate Cursor translation ready?
Yes. All dashboard and frontend strings are translatable, and a translation template is included.
Does the plugin respect reduced-motion preferences?
Yes. When a visitor has asked their device to reduce motion, cursor and hover animations respect that setting, and background effects do not download their scripts.
What is the difference between the free and Pro versions?
The free plugin includes all five cursor types, five shapes, all eight animated effects with their ready-made styles, and both background effects with basic settings, for one cursor and one background applied to the whole site. Pro adds Interactive Hover, multiple cursors, page and element targeting, 20 more shapes, Circular Text, image hotspot, settings for every animated effect, background motion and placement controls, multiple backgrounds, and priority support.
