# How to Add Interval Shake Animation to WordPress Button?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Blocks adds Interval Shake to the free Advanced Button block, and it works in Nexter Blocks free and with Nexter Blocks Pro.
- Advanced Button uses the Style tab’s Extra Options to turn on Interval Shake, with Duration(s) set in seconds and a default of 5.
- Interval Shake plays automatically on page load, repeats over and over without hover, and never stops while the page is open.

A button that gives a short shake every few seconds pulls the eye to your most important action.

The free Advanced Button block in Nexter Blocks adds this with **Interval Shake**.

*For every Advanced Button setting in one place, see the [Advanced Button block guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-advanced-buttons-in-wordpress/).*

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** Free — works in Nexter Blocks (free) and with Nexter Blocks Pro.- **Block to enable:** Advanced Button, switched on under **Nexter > Blocks** in your WordPress dashboard.

## Steps

- Add the **Advanced Button** block, pick a style and type the button text.

- On the **Style** tab, open **Extra Options** and turn on **Interval Shake**.

## How It Behaves

- The shake plays on its own, over and over, as soon as the page loads. No hover is needed.- **Duration(s)** is the length of one animation cycle, so a lower value makes the shake repeat more often.

## Limitations

- The animation never stops while the page is open. Use it on one key button per page.- Constant motion can bother some visitors.

## Troubleshooting

### The button shakes too often

Raise **Duration(s)**, for example to 8.
