How it behaves
It still works when things are switched off
Beside the fixed introduction, lanes of photographs drift in opposite directions and respond to page scrolling. A pause button stops them; reduced motion shows a still grid.
- Motion off or reduced motion
- It shows its final state at once; anything a visitor can press or drag still works.
- JavaScript off
- All content stays visible and readable; controls the script adds are hidden.
- Plugin missing or older
- It pastes as plain WordPress blocks, in reading order, without the designed layout.
Questions
Nightjar Studio Wall: common questions
What is Nightjar Studio Wall for?
Opens a studio or agency homepage when the introduction should stay put while a tall column of work moves beside it. Typical uses: studio homepage hero, creative agency about page and illustrator's landing page.
Does Nightjar Studio Wall need a plugin?
Yes. Designed Patterns come with a subscription, which includes the Pattern Paste plugin that runs them; Nightjar Studio Wall arrived in plugin 0.33.0. Without the plugin, or on an older version, it pastes as plain WordPress blocks: the content reads in order, without the designed layout.
What can I edit in Nightjar Studio Wall?
As pasted it has 6 images, 1 heading, 9 text lines and 1 button, 9 of them optional and removable. The items are a repeatable set: the item controls add one or remove the last. The layout stays protected while you edit. Unlock layout, in the section’s settings, lets you insert, move and remove any block.
Will Nightjar Studio Wall match my theme?
Choose Designed to keep its own palette and type, or Use my theme to let it follow your theme’s colours and fonts. Either works in any block theme on WordPress 7.0 or later. Choose Use my theme in the preview above to see it follow a theme before you copy.
Can the motion be switched off?
Yes. Turn off Animate changes in the section settings, and visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get the same: the section shows its final state at once and anything they can press or drag still works. With JavaScript off, all content stays visible.
