Need help desperately. Image hover effect

  • Hello everyone,

    Im really new to creating my own website and Im nearly done. I’m attempting to add a feature where users can hover over images and a different image appears next to it providing a description. I have searched high and low and can’t find instructions on how to achieve this. Everything that I find provides just the hover effect for the picture that the cursor is on but I want mine to display a second and larger picture next to it with a caption.

    I would appreciate any help that I can get with this.

    P.S. Im not great on coding so if theres a plugin for what Im attempting to do, that would be awesome.

    Hi fwashington,

    Remember, Google is your friend. ??

    A quick google search on the phrase “wordpress plugin image hover effects” turned up this one:

    It looks like it will do what you’re looking for.

    Hey guys thanks for the quick responses. Unfortunately Trisha, google or youtube are not my friends because Ive spent hours looking for what Im achieving to do and Ive seen the plugin that you suggested and its not what Im looking for.

    I have a screenshot of what I’m attempting to do now I just need to figure out how to post it on here. What a day lol

    I posted the picture to my media. Heres the link of what Im attempting to do.

    As you can see, when the thumbnail is hovered over, a second image appears and provides a description underneath.

    Ah I get it now.

    That looks like a gallery/lightbox plugin, where the thumbnail (small version) is linked to a different large version.

    Try looking at Gallery and Lightbox plugins.

    Easy Fancybox is one…..you’d have to modify it’s CSS so that it doesn’t darken the overlay, and the rest is simply when you upload your image to the page (create a gallery if you want it to look like your screenshot), just have the thumbnail link to a different (larger) image and add a caption….that is what should show below the photo.

    Unfortunately, it seems that all of the plugins that I find requires the user to click on the image or the hover effect only shows on the image that the mouse is over. Any other suggestions? I really just want the ability to hover over the image for a new image to appear next to it

    Thanks for your help in advance
