Hey there- 1) Is it possible to leave the message field blank so only the code rain is seen? 2) Alternatively, is it possible to have linked text in the message field? 3) Should I assume I’d need a theme that offers a full screen template, or does the plugin handle the full screen display?
I’m interested in this effect for just a place holder on an index/home page.
Ideally, I’d prefer to either use the effect with no text (and no menus, posts, or other pages besides the home page), OR to use that message field as a link to a contact page, where there’s only 2 site pages total, home and contact.
Are either of these option possible in this plugins current form?
Thanks!
1. It is possible to show only the code rain effect, without the text message, by adding the following in the “CSS code” field:
.cr-message {
display: none;
}
The “Message” field should be empty so that the text is not picked up by search engines.
2. The “Message” field does support a link, with a caveat: During the writing animation, the text message appears longer than it is.
The “Message” field with a link should have this format:
<a href="#">TEXT_MESSAGE</a>
Additionally, in the “CSS code” field, add the following code to reset the link style:
.cr-message a {
color: inherit;
text-decoration: none;
}
3. The plugin uses its own template file, the theme does not need a full screen template.
Thanks so much for the helpful reply.
One quick follow up. If I choose the under construction option, would site visitors see any indication in the URL that it is under construction, or will they only see mysite.com URL? I ask because I noticed in your preview the URL is a longer string indicating under construction. (http://www.creativetier.com/code-rain/templates/page-template.php?type=under-construction&n=1)
Visitors will just see the mysite.com URL.

Hello, with WordPress 6.3.2, this plugin doesn’t work anymore. Could you please update it and make it compatible?
What is the issue that you are encountering?
Hi, Is there any update ? Support WP 6.1?
The plugin works well in WordPress 6.1.
Hi. I need the matrix rain effect for Elementor in the Wordpress. Does it work? Does it work also for the whole body?
The plugin does not have Elementor support.
It works perfectly! Thank you very much! PS.: You should give the option to change de right mouse click text message!
This can be changed by editing a plugin config file.
You can go to “wp-content/plugins/code-rain/includes/config.php” and there you have the “context_message” property from where you can edit the text message shown on right-click as well as the link, or can disable it altogether.
Hi,
Am I able to add a code rain template to the background of a specific page?
Regards, Ike
There is no option for this in the plugin itself.
This would be possible to code but you would have to be familiar with CSS and WP coding to be able to do that.
Hello! I recently purchased the WordPress Plugin version of Code Rain and am quite satisfied with it!
I do have a small problem, however. I have not created a website since I learned HTML in 6th grade over 20 years ago, so please bear with me.
What I would like to have is the following: A home page that uses the ‘Under Construction’ format to say ‘Follow the white rabbit.’
So far, I’ve tweaked the properties of the Code Rain templates to get the desired character sets and font sizes, as well as changing the ‘Under Construction’ string to ‘Follow the white rabbit.’ but I am such a noob with WordPress that I cannot figure out how to make the ‘Under Construction’ page into the default home page.
If you could help me out with this, I would greatly appreciate it!
After reading all the comments, it looks like what I need to do is turn on under construction / maintenance mode… but I still can’t figure out how.
To turn on the under construction mode, you go to “Code Rain / Under Construction / Status”, set “Status: Enabled” and save the changes.
But this will show the under construction page throughout the site, regardless of what page the user visits. Is that what you need?
If you want the core rain effect page to display only on the home page, that is not something that the plugin currently supports. Both the under construction and the under maintenance pages are made to show throughout the site.
If you want it to show on a single page only, I can create a custom template for you that you can select only on the desired page. But because it is custom work, it will cost 1 development hour ($10). If you need that, you can use the contact form on my profile page to get in touch with me.
Thanks for the quick reply! I see what the problem was now… I just had to log out of my account and view the public page, hahaha! That will work for now. I may ask for some custom work from you later, but for now, this will suffice.
Great job – two thumbs up!
Hi, how the i put a template rain + message on a page (not the assigned one, 404, login, under-construction..) an actual page of my choosing, is there a shortcode ?
No, there is no shortcode for that. The pages the plugin supports are Under Construction, Under Maintenance, 404, login as well as the admin screensaver. There is currently no support for custom pages.
If you need that, I can develop a template for you so that you can use it on any custom page but because it is custom work it will cost 1 hour of development time ($10).
You can use the contact form on my profile page to get in touch with me and we can discuss the specifics.
Is it possible to have it as a index page, so when you visit the url i t shows the matrix
Can you give me more details about how you want it to work?
For example, if you use the Under Maintenance page that will appear on all pages, including the index page, and you can enter a custom text message.
Do you want the effect to only show on the index page and not on other pages, in which case would there be a menu on the index page? Also, would there be a text message on the index page or only the code rain effect?
I got most of it worked out OK, but when I try to use one of the theme’s it locks me out, are there any site’s that have the theme’s working, I’m using wordpress-4.4.24 because of my PHP and MySQL due to other site’s I have on my server.
I don’t understand what you mean, you have to provide a clearer, more detailed description.
Like I said when I activate one of the theme’s, it lock me out of the site, I can’t logged back in again, I have to drop the database and reload word press all over again, are there any web site that are using the theme’s for code-rain
Do you mean when you switch from one theme to another? What exactly happens? Is there an error message, is the login page not showing?
What about when not switching the theme, does the same thing happen?
Can you send me the link to your page using the contact form on my profile page so that I can take a look over it?
when I switch from the default theme to another ( matrix ) Green and Black and try view the front page it shows a login box and I cant login, but I can see the theme boxes on the front index page, site isn’t live at this stage it on a local server.
Can you upload it to an online server somewhere so that I can investigate it? It may be a problem from running an old version of WordPress but I cannot know for sure what the issue is without looking over the site.
I recently purchased your software thinking that I would be able to apply it to any page in WordPress, but does not seem to be the case. So how can I create a page or change the page assignment using your plugin?
I don’t quite understand what you are trying to do. Can you please give me more details and/or examples?
Thank you for such a quick response. So my question is, how can I change the pages the plug-in is on?
Let me give you a quick overview of how the plugin works:
When a mode, such as “Under Construction”, is enabled, when a user requests a site page, the plugin redirects to the rain effect “Under Construction” page instead, which is customized from the plugin admin page.
It is the same for the “Under Maintenance” mode.
The “404 Page” and the “Login Page” replace the default 404 and WP login pages with the plugin rain effect versions.
And the screensaver is an overlay that appears over the admin pages after a period of inactivity.
But let me know specifically what you are looking to create in your case.
Do you want to use the rain effect pages as regular WP pages? That have a custom URL that you can link to?
yes
that’s exactly what i want it to do
I might be able to create a custom theme template file that you can use.
Please use the contact form on my profile page to send me an email and we can discuss about it in more detail.
awesome, will do!
I got your email, I replied back afterwards asking for more details about the customization that you are looking for but I haven’t heard back from you since. Just wanted to confirm that you received my message.
If you still need the customization, make sure to check the email and get back to me with more details.
May I know in the text box (where ‘Under Construction’ is), may I put paragraphs of text instead of just one line of text ? Is there any way that I can input the command of ‘next line’ within the text so that when displaying, it can display the text on the next line or next paragraph instead of one long line of text ? Thank you for advising.
Right now, the message box supports only one line of text.
But I can code a customization for you, if you want that. You can send me a message using the contact form on my profile page, detail the exact requirements of what you need and I will get back to you with the cost and timeframe for completion.
Great plugin with many features like changing the characters & color! Amazing support by the developer, highly recommend this plugin and CreativeTier!
Can I change the Scrolling Letters ?
Do you mean the letters in the background rain effect? Yes, you can change them. You can select characters from 14 default types or you can enter your own custom characters to display.
To see the admin options, go to the preview page, scroll down to “Admin screens” and open the “Rain Templates post” screen. Here, in the “Text” metabox, there is the “Characters” setting. You can see the 14 default types of characters that you can select to include in the rain effect and/or, at the bottom, you can enter your own custom characters to use, in the “Custom” field.
Okay, Awesome
Hello, this plugin require jQuery to Work?
No, it does not require jQuery. But this is a plugin for WordPress. If you are interested in the standalone JS files, send me an email using the contact form on my profile page and we can talk about how to make that possible.
Congratulations! Nice Work, GLWS 
Great Work, Congratulations GLWS
Is it possible to add some menu (Back, Home, Contact etc) on this pages? For example on 404 Or add “Subscrbe” on under construction pages
I don’t see this options on admin screens 
It is not possible at the moment, but if people ask for features, I will be happy to develop them.
