Season Particles

बिबरन

Season Particles adds gentle seasonal effects — sakura petals, autumn leaves (momiji), snow, and fireworks — to your WordPress site, without slowing it down. A subtle way to surprise visitors and give your site a sense of season.

Cherry blossoms in spring, autumn leaves in fall, snow in winter, fireworks at New Year — all rendered with SVG and HTML5 Canvas for a lightweight, beautiful look on any device, without ever getting in the way of your content.

Key features

  • Four effects: choose from sakura, momiji, snow, or fireworks.
  • Auto switching: set a period (e.g. March 15 to April 15) and the effect will switch on automatically by date.
  • Fine-grained customization: adjust quantity, speed, and size from the admin screen.
  • Display scope: show on all pages, or limit to the front page only.
  • Lightweight design: no jQuery — pure Vanilla JavaScript and the Canvas API.

Installation

  1. Upload the season-particles folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings Season Particles to configure effect type, quantity, speed, size, and display periods.
  4. (Optional) Choose Auto (follow period settings) to switch effects automatically by date.

FAQ

The effect is not showing. What should I check?

Make sure you’ve selected an effect other than None on the settings screen. If you’ve chosen Auto, confirm that today’s date falls within one of the configured periods. Also clear your browser cache.

Does it affect page speed?

The impact is negligible. The plugin uses HTML5 Canvas with requestAnimationFrame for optimized rendering, keeping browser load very light.

Can I show effects only on the front page?

Yes. In the settings screen, set Display scope to Front page only.
