What it does
Many sites have short updates that deserve a spot on the page without taking over the layout: a sale, a new announcement, the latest posts. A news ticker handles this by running a compact strip of content across the screen. This plugin brings that format into Elementor as a widget you drag onto a page and configure in the editor, with no coding needed. You can add as many tickers or sliders as your site calls for.
Content can come from posts, pages, landing pages or products, or you can hand-pick a mix of items. Built-in filters narrow down which entries appear, so a ticker can stick to a single topic or offer. From there you set the scrolling speed and direction, add a label with an icon from the library or your own SVG, and choose animation effects and navigation options. The widget is responsive and retina-ready, so it adapts to different screens. It requires Elementor.
Best for
- News and magazine sites showing latest headlines
- Online stores promoting products or current offers
- Agencies building Elementor sites with announcement bars
