Hello! I was wondering if it was possible to add a custom preloader animation to my site. Does anyone have any suggested plugins? Or would it be best to get this customized from a freelancer?
Hey peanuttario!
Default preloader animation uses CSS3. You can change it using CSS. If it is something advanced, we would definitely recommend hiring a developer :)

Hi Yigit! Thanks for the advice. I’ve found an interesting preloader that I’d like to try implementing into my site. Here is the link:

Before I start, do you have any advice on how I should implement this into enfold? Do I add the html within each page or into index.html? Would I be able to work solely within the child theme or would I need to add lines of code to the parent theme? Any input is appreciated, thank you! :)
Hey!
To make any small changes to the default preloader please refer to Ismales post here https://kriesi.at/support/topic/change-gif-for-page-preloader/#post-439038
To add a new one you have to disable the default preloader from enfold option and add your custom html in a child theme header.php and link it with custom css.
It is not easy to replace or edit the current preloader by adding custom html in code block. It would require a lot of modifications to be applied to the theme and it is integrated with other theme elements, you will have to hire a freelancer to do it for you.
Best regards,

Hi Vinnie! Thanks for the advice. How do I go about using a childtheme header.php?
Hi,
Please copy the header.php from main theme folder and paste it in the child theme and you are ready to make the required changes as per the link in the above post.
Best regards,
Vinnie
