Hi all,
I’ve added a custom cursor to my site which I really like, but I uploaded a GIF and the animation isn’t working, it’s just showing the still frame. Any help with this?

My site is https://kimiw0rld.com/

Thank you

Hi there Kimi @kimi1 Have you already tried clearing all the cache cookies in your browser or try loading/uploading it in a new browser entirely yet?

Hey @Bundler-Manuel , yes still not working

Hi @kimi1 , Where did you add the GIF?

Hi @LizHoang , I installed the App Qwicode to customise my cursor and then added it through their system there. I followed this tutorial here: https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+add+a+custom+cursor+shopify&rlz=1C1ONGR_enAU1096AU1096&oq=how+to+add+a+custom+cursor+shopify&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIKCAEQABiiBBiJBTIKCAIQABiABBiiBDIHCAMQABjvBTIHCAQQABjvBTIKCAUQABiABBiiBDIGCAYQRRg8MgYIBxBFGDzSAQkxMjE0N2owajeoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:615c2e5a,vid:3BN-CN7e3hk,st:365
