Common Use Cases
Portfolio and agency sites
Page transitions create a premium, modern feel that matches the visual quality of portfolio and agency websites.
Single-page-like experiences
For WordPress sites that want to feel like single-page applications, page transitions provide the smoothness without the complexity.
Client demonstrations
When showing a site to clients, page transitions create a ‘wow factor’ that differentiates the design.
Brand storytelling sites
For sites where the brand story is told across multiple pages, page transitions create a sense of continuity. The visitor feels like they’re moving through a cohesive narrative rather than jumping between disconnected pages.
Education platforms
For online courses and learning platforms, page transitions between lessons create a smooth learning experience. The student feels like they’re progressing through the material, not loading separate pages.
Restaurant and hospitality sites
For restaurants, hotels, and hospitality sites, page transitions create a premium experience that matches the service quality. The smooth transitions make the site feel as polished as the establishment.
Troubleshooting
The feature is not taking effect
Cause: The toggle is off, or a theme/plugin conflict is preventing the feature from loading.
Fix: Verify the toggle is on. Disable other page transition plugins to find conflicts.
The feature is showing on pages where it shouldn’t
Cause: The feature is global (applies to all pages).
Fix: Use the filter for this feature to exclude specific pages. See Advanced Options.
The feature conflicts with another plugin
Cause: Another plugin is also modifying the same behavior.
Fix: Disable the other plugin’s equivalent feature. Classic Monks features are designed to be standalone; using two competing features (e.g., two page transition plugins) will cause conflicts.
