What it does
Many sites need a compact way to surface headlines, alerts or announcements without giving them a full section of the page. A news ticker solves that by scrolling short items across a single line. This plugin brings that element into Elementor, so you can place a ticker anywhere in your layout and configure it through the same editor you already use for the rest of your pages.
You start by picking one of the 21 preset designs, then adjust fonts, colors, scrolling speed and layout to fit your branding. The ticker is responsive and retina ready, so it displays sharply on desktops, tablets and phones. It works across modern browsers and with WordPress themes built on Elementor. A .pot file is included for translation, which helps if your site serves readers in other languages.
Best for
- News portals and online magazines showing latest headlines
- Corporate sites posting announcements and company updates
- Blogs built with Elementor that want a scrolling headline bar
Features
21 preset ticker designs
Choose from 21 ready-made ticker layouts as a starting point, then place one on your page and adjust it to suit your theme and branding.
Custom fonts and colors
Change the typography and color scheme of each ticker so it blends with the rest of your design instead of looking like an add-on.
Adjustable speed and layout
Control how fast items scroll and how the ticker is laid out, giving you a calm crawl or a quicker stream of headlines.
Built for Elementor
Add and configure tickers inside the Elementor editor using a visual interface, with no coding needed to get a working news strip on the page.
Responsive and retina ready
Tickers adapt to desktops, tablets and smartphones and render crisply on high-resolution screens, keeping the display consistent for every visitor.
Cross-browser support
The plugin is built to work in modern browsers, so visitors see the ticker behave the same way regardless of which browser they use.
Translation ready
An included .pot file lets you translate the plugin's text into other languages for sites that publish for a multilingual audience.
