To clarify, I don’t want to have to scour the news every morning and provide specific URL’s, I’m hoping the plugin can do this for me using keywords/tags.

I have already added a rss2json api key

Never mind, I figured out how to do this, but your plugin breaks my site. Once the shortcode for my ticker is added, my site ceases to load due to a “critical error,” rendering the plugin and my site useless.

By fullscreen, do you mean fullwidth? If so, add this CSS and make sure the ticker is not placed in a boxed container:

div.modern-ticker {
    max-width: unset;
}

Please create a temporary admin account and send me the login so I can investigate. You can use the contact email for that.

I have responded to your message below, not seeing any other message from you that does not have a response posted.

I did not test the plugin with WPML and am not familiar with their code, so cannot speak about the ticker supporting it or not.

If you can give me temporary access to the admin, I can take a quick look and see if there is any obvious issue.

However, debugging compatibility with 3rd party plugins is outside of the scope of the support terms and I will not be able to do a full WPML code debug, which can be very time consuming.

Hello, we have been sending emails to the same email address that was used for the initial case, but we never received a response. We are not receiving notifications when you reply here on Codecanyon. Where should we send you the temporary login data to ensure that it is not made public?

I looked over my email and the last email I received from you was on July 26, have not received anything after that. The backend access token given there was no longer functional, when I posted the above reply to your message, two weeks ago.

Alternatively, you can send the login data privately by using the contact form on my profile page.

Also, please be aware of what I posted in the above message. I will take a quick look over the problem to see if there is any obvious issue but debugging compatibility with 3rd party plugins is outside of the scope of the support terms and I will not be able to do a full WPML code debug.

You shoud remove twiiter from the interface

Yes, the Twitter API access is no longer free after the Musk takeover.

I posted a notification on the project page saying that the Twitter feed no longer works.

I will remove the Twitter option from the plugin UI in the next update.

Can you create a temporary admin account for me, so that I can log in and investigate?

You can send the it using the contact form on my profile page.

Unfortunately, as of 9 February 2023, the Twitter feed no longer works as Twitter restricted access to their formally free API.

But could I use the paid one?

The Twitter API plans start at $100/month: https://developer.twitter.com/en/products/twitter-api

That seems unfeasible for normal sites displaying a news ticker, so I have no plans at the moment for implementing support for the paid API.

You can use CSS to customize the height of the ticker.

Some theme CSS code is overriding the ticker CSS. This can be fixed by adding the following theme specific reset code either in “Appearance / Customize / Additional CSS” or in the child theme “style.css” file:

.qt-the-content .modern-ticker ul:not([class*=qt]):not([class*=vdl]):not([class*=slick-dots]) {
    margin: 0;
}
.qt-the-content .modern-ticker ul:not([class*=qt]):not([class*=vdl]):not([class*=slick-dots]) li {
    list-style-type: none;
    padding: 0;
}

Fast response! And correct response! Works perfectly.

Can you send me a link to the page with the ticker?

Is the white space part of the ticker? From the screenshot, it does not look like it is.

To change the color of the news item on hover, add the following CSS code in “Appearance / Customize / Additional CSS” :

.modern-ticker .mt-body .mt-news a:hover {
    background-color: #0099ff;
}

Hi Creative.. I used this CSS you gave me (thank you) however, it’s not changing it? I’ve cleared cache and looked at the site from incognito.. and still shows the default blue.. Not sure what could be the issue? Can you have a look to see if you see it #26ae61 it’s a green color to match my site.. VAJobFair.com

Thank you, Winners!

It is probably just a CSS specificity issue. Try adding a “div” in front of the above code, as so:

div.modern-ticker .mt-body .mt-news a:hover {
    background-color: #0099ff;
}

1. For the JSON feed, the JSON file needs to have this format in order to work with the ticker: http://creativetier.com/examples/example.json

2. For the results to be numbered, the numbers have to be included in the JSON feed text itself.

Since it didn’t work, I took it out. I’ll place it at the bottom of “izonephotography.com” front page now.

The problem comes from a style in your theme CSS. You can add the following fix, either in “Appearance / Customize / Additional CSS” or in the “style.css” file of your child theme:

.modern-ticker .mt-news li::before {
    display: none;
}

That seems to do the trick. Thanks.

If there is not enough space in the layout I would suggest you disable the control buttons and/or the label text in the front. You can do this from the ticker admin settings.

If you can create a temporary admin account for me, I will log in and investigate. You can send the login info privately using the contact form on my profile page.

You can customize the appearance of the ticker through CSS.

The ticker does not have a specific border/outline, what looks like a border is actually the background color. You can make it transparent by adding the below CSS code.

You can add this either in “Appearance / Customize / Additional CSS” or in the “style.css” file of your child theme, if you are using one:

div.modern-ticker {
    background-color: transparent;
}

Thank you again!!! I’ve implemented the custom css-code the same way – but the color on hover does not change. here’s the code I’ve placed via “Appearance / Customize / Additional CSS”. what have I done wrong?

.modern-ticker .mt-body .mt-news a:hover { background-color: #30e5d0; } .modern-ticker .mt-news { padding: 0; } .modern-ticker .mt-news li::before { display: none; } .modern-ticker .mt-body .mt-news a { background-image: none; }

I see the hover color changed on my end.

mea culpa – clearing cache and cookies is sometimes not enough. in a separate browser & incognito I can see it too. thanks for your professional & fast support. no more questions now
