VEFflipBox

VEFflipBox adds a box that turns over to your pages: a front face, a back face and a smooth flip between them. Use it for services, team members, prices, product features or any content that deserves a second look.

It is one plugin for three builders: a module for Divi 5, a block for the block editor and a widget for Elementor. The three print the same box, with the same engine and the same stylesheet, so a box looks the same wherever you made it, and you can change builder without redoing your design.

Each face of the box has its own color or image, title and text. Everything else is set with the tools you already use in your builder: fonts, colors, sizes, spacing, borders, shadows and visibility.

Why VEFflipBox

• One plugin, three builders, one identical result.

• Readable on any image: color overlay, blur and frosted glass behind the title.

• Accessible: keyboard operation, touch screens, reduced-motion preference.

• Site-wide defaults with a live preview, overridden box by box.

• No tracking: nothing is collected, and nothing is sent unless you yourself choose the optional free license or open the optional support access.

• Completely free: there is no Pro version and no locked setting.

What each face can have

• a background color and, if you want, a background image;

• a color overlay above the image, with its opacity and an optional blur of the image, to keep the text readable;

• a title and a rich text;

• its own border, padding, shadow and image filters;

• on the front face, an optional frosted glass behind the title, so the title stays readable on a busy image while the rest of the face stays sharp.

How the box behaves

• It turns over on hover, or on click if you prefer (with a small flip icon, and links allowed on the front face).

• On touch screens, a tap turns it over and another tap turns it back.

• Keyboard users can focus the box and press Enter or Space.

• The animation is shortened for visitors who prefer reduced motion.

• Box shape: square, portrait, landscape or wide. Flip direction: horizontal or vertical, normal or reverse. Speed: fast, normal or slow.

• Corners: rounded or cut in a curve, each of the four corners on its own, from a square to a circle, a ticket or a wave.

• The back face can show a button with its own label and link, fully styled (colors, border, shadow, size). The whole box can also be a link.

Text that fits the box

Titles and texts can follow the width of the box with fluid sizes: the font sizes of the Design tab (px, rem or em) are the maximum sizes, and you choose the minimum. A title can also be fitted to its length, so it fills the box on one or two lines.

Default settings for the whole site

A Settings page in the VEFflipBox admin page sets the default of every setting once for the whole site, with a live preview (it turns the box over when you change the direction or the speed, and can try a random combination), three sample images to judge the blur and the overlay, buttons and sliders instead of long lists, and a Simple and an Advanced mode: shape, corners, flip direction, speed and trigger (hover or click), vertical alignment, title tag, font sizes of the titles and of the texts, color, font, weight, style, letter case, spacing, alignment and line height of the four texts (front and back, title and text), fluid sizes of the titles and of the texts, title fitted to its length (for each face), overlay above the image (color, opacity and blur, for each face), glass behind the front title, style of the button of the back face.

A setting chosen in the builder on a given box always wins over the default.

Help and support

A help page (the VEFflipBox entry of the admin menu) explains how to add the module in six steps and what each setting does, shows the system information to copy when you ask for support, and tells where to find what. The Help button of WordPress gives a short help on each of its five tabs.

If you ever need help, you can open a support access with a single click: temporary, limited to what support needs, closed whenever you want, and never started without you. You see what it can and cannot do before you open it.

Compatibility

The block editor needs nothing more. Divi 5 (the Divi theme or the Divi Builder plugin) and Elementor are optional: the module and the widget appear only when they are active. Divi is a product of Elegant Themes and is not included.

Privacy

The plugin does not collect any data and does not connect to any external service by itself. The only exceptions are the optional free license and the optional support access, described in the “External services” section: nothing is sent unless a site administrator fills in the form and ticks the consent box, or clicks to open the support access. The About tab of the help page only contains links to other websites: nothing is loaded from them.

com: nothing is loaded from that site until you click the link.

External services

The plugin connects to no external service by itself. The following happens only if you decide it.

• Optional free license (V-IMAGES, v-images.com, the plugin’s publisher) — only if you ask for it (VEFflipBox > About): nothing is sent until you fill in the form and tick the consent box. The free license unlocks nothing — the plugin works exactly the same without it; it only lets the publisher send you news and offers, and identify your site when you ask for support. When you register, the following is sent to the V-IMAGES licensing service (REST route /wp-json/vefls/v1/free-license on v-images.com): the email address you typed, the exact consent text you agreed to, your site’s URL, the VEFflipBox version and your site’s language. While you are registered, each time you open the Getting started or About screen the plugin checks the registration status (on each of those screens until you confirm by email, then once a week), sending your license key, your site’s URL and the VEFflipBox version. When you unregister, the plugin asks the service to delete your data.

• Support access (email, optional) — only when a site administrator clicks “Open the support access and send the key” (VEFflipBox > Guide > Diagnostic and support tab). Nothing happens otherwise. The click creates a time-limited access (24 hours to 7 days) and emails a single-use sign-in link to the publisher at [email protected], together with the diagnostic information shown on that screen (versions of the plugin, WordPress and PHP, your free license key if any, builders, theme, extensions of the site with their version, pages that contain a flip box with their address) and the optional message you typed. The access can be closed at any time, ends by itself on the chosen date and is removed when the plugin is deactivated. Only a hash of the key is stored on your site. While the access is open, a conversation between you and the publisher’s support team is kept on your site only, and erased when the access is closed; when you write in it while the publisher is not looking at it, a short email with your message is sent to the same address (at most one every five minutes). A journal of the last 50 events (opening, sign-ins with IP address, closing) is kept in your database, can be emptied at any time from the same screen, and is removed when the plugin is deleted.
