I just purchased and installed the ticker today and it’s working when viewing with my pc computer browser but its not working when viewing on my IPhone 4S (I get a completely red filled ticker but no news is displayed). Is this ticker not compatible with IPHONE? I purchased the ticker after viewing your demo tickers from my IPhone and they all worked. Is there something else I need to do? Please follow up… Thanks!
Seems the issue isn’t with the ticker script, it seems to be an issue with my moto html template. I’ll have to see if I can get it to somehow work together…
Ok, I got it to work on the IPhone. Great Lil 5 STAR Ticker!
Yes, the ticker works well on the iPhone as well as other mobile devices.
Glad to see that you have discovered the issue and fixed it.
Regards.
I have been struggling to install this plug in is there a video tutorial?
Hi,
This is not a Wordpress plugin, it is a standalone HTML, CSS and JavaScript project. From your message, I got the impression that you thought it was a plugin. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
This is not a plugin, meaning that you cannot just include it in Wordpress as a plugin but will have to work with the HTML code to add it to your HTML page.
Adding it to your HTML page is simple and is explained in the user guide.
I wanted to make that clear so that you have no confusion. Wordpress plugins are only in the “Wordpress” section of the site. This ticker is in the “JavaScript” section.

Hi, External RSS source works without any problem but I can’t get the ticker working with an xml file located localy on my server. The web browser keeps loading enven is I use this syntax: feedUrl: “folder/example.rss”, Any Idea? Thanks!
Hi,
Please send me the link to where I can preview the implementation at contact@creativetier.com and I will assist you to get it working.
Regards.
yes, your modern ticker is responsive and very easy to implement. and also JS file and css sizes are really very little, current version that I installed today is 16kb in total. and after minification of js and css, it became only 9kb in total.
APPRECIABLE.
Thank you, I am very glad to see when people are satisfied with the products.
Just a quick clarification, the plugin JS file comes already minimized in the main files and the unminimized source file is also available in another folder with other source files.
Like HTML code, the CSS code is not minimized because it is not common to do so, as these often need modifications and editing.
Regards.
YES. RIGHT.
As I am using asp.net mvc 4 framework, I used dot.net minification facilities. That is why I did not use the minified version of JS that you supplied.
It is appealing that you have supplied both versions of JS as well as supplied all required js, html, css scripts/files along with png and psd files that a developer needs for further R&D.
I am quite happy.
I followed all the step to gor the twitter feed to work but no luck. Any suggestion?
here is where the feed is located http://www.adoptionhood.comHi,
The problem is occurring because you are adding jQuery multiple times in the “head” of the HTML code, specifically, because you are adding jQuery again after the ticker code in the “head” section. The ticker instructions mention not to add jQuery again.
Specifically, on line 135, the jQuery library is added again. If you remove that line, the ticker should be working.
All in all, in the “head” of your HTML code, you are adding jQuery 4 times, on lines 37, 62, 117 and 135. This is not needed, the jQuery library should only be added once, at the top and then all of the plugins will use that instance.
Regards.
if i purchase, can you send me responsive version of your MODERN NEWS TICKER? as my site is fully responsive one.
Hi,
The ticker is responsive, if the width is set to fill the available space, “100%”, then it will resize accordingly.
Is there something else that you are looking for ?
Regards.
I’m sure you answered this, but I want to be sure…
Rather than specify a feed, I can pass any text/html to the ticker for scrolling?
Yes, that is correct.
Regards.
Hello,
Is ths news ticker responsive?
Cruxy
Hi,
Yes, it is responsive.
Regards.
Are you sure? Please I need help!!!
Width 100% is the solution.
Yes, that is correct.
Hello there, I like the look of the ticker and it seems to be exactly what i am looking for but have some questions before i purchase. 1) Can i place it anywhere on my theme like the bottom as a fixed object 100% width? 2) If i want to use a specific post type, do i have that option? 3) If i use this to rss feed a category on my website will it cache the feed or is there a setting for it to show up automatically with out refreshing the page?
Hi,
First of all, this is not a Wordpress plugin, it is a standalone HTML, CSS and JavaScript project. From your message, I got the impression that you thought it was a plugin. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
This is not a plugin, meaning that you cannot just include it in Wordpress as a plugin but will have to work with the HTML code to add it to your HTML page.
I wanted to make that clear so that you have no confusion. Wordpress plugins are only in the “Wordpress” section of the site. This ticker is in the “JavaScript” section.
Regarding your questions:
1. Yes, it can be placed anywhere on the page and it can have 100% width.
2. I do not understand what you mean by “post type”, can you give me more details ?
3. The RSS feed has an option to automatically refresh at a specified interval of time. The data is not cached to be sure that, when refreshing, the latest data is loaded.
Regards.
No you are correct, i was so excited i finally found something that might work i missed the wordpress part lol
Hello, do you think it’s possible to implement callback function when all the news are displayed ? Regards, David
Hi,
Yes, it is possible to implement a callback function.
When exactly do you mean, once the news have been loaded or once all of the news have been scrolled once ?
Regards.
When all the news have been scrolled… I tried to implement it but I failed 
Send me an email at contact@creativetier.com so that I have your email and I will implement a callback function and send you the file.
Do you want this for all effects or only a particular one ?
Regards.
Thanks, i sent you an email…
Can you please explain how to specify a local XML file as the source for the ticker ? Thank you
Hi,
You simply specify the URL of the XML file relative to the HTML file with the ticker.
For example, if the HTML and the XML files are in the same location, the url is simply the name of the XML file: “example.rss”.
Or if the XML file is in a folder, you simply add the name of the folder to the path: “folder/example.rss”.
And so on, simply the address of the XML file relative to the HTML file.
The url is specified in the JavaScript initialization code:
$(".modern-ticker").modernTicker({
...
feedUrl: "folder/example.rss",
...
});
Also, just pointing this out, the XML file will need to have either an RSS or Atom format.
Regards.
I did that but Firefox reports an error (TypeError: e.responseData is null) hence my question. I pulled your sample rss file & saved it locally in my webroot. Can I email you to send an attachment ? Thx
Hi,
Yes, you can contact me and send me the attachment that you want.
I am looking into this now and we will work on it until it is solved.
Regards.
Hello, I have a problem, I want show 3 lines independent, line 1: one image, line 2: Date and the line 3: the message, this is possible?
if i want show the 3 lines with “” only show the first line in the rest of lines.
i want show the user image, the date and the message in the mt-news ul li.
Greetings and thanks for excellent ticker. Sorry for my bad English
Hi, I solved my problem, but only to link the message provides the effect.
Thank you ..
Hi,
I am glad that you have solved the problem that you were having.
I did not quite understand exactly the things that you were saying, but if you want further clarifications, I can discuss with you so that I can understand better what you are trying to say.
Regards.
Hello, I’m sorry maybe my English is not good. I developing three commercial website, in php code, I need Modern News Ticker to promote my products. Is the Extended License the correct license for me? Thank you, Berst Regards, Ariel
Hi.
If you have any questions about the licenses, please contact Envato support. They are the ones that define the licenses and can clarify any question that you may have.
You can contact support by going to “Help > Support Center” and there you can “Open a Ticket” and ask any question that you have.
Regards.
is there any known bug at the moment?
No, everything is working ok.
Regards.
A new update has been implemented:
- Fixed a bug that was causing the news not to display properly when the width was set as responsive and the window was resized.
Regards.
Hi, I can’t seem to get the Twitter feed to work, it just has a spinning wheel. Does this code not work with the new Twitter API?
Thanks
Ah, no problem – used Tweetledee to get it working
The ticker works well with the new Twitter API, you don’t need to use any external service. But make sure that you configure everything that is needed. With the new Twitter 1.1 API there are authentication codes to be configured. The guide explains everything that is needed to be done.
Regards.
Hi, I’m having problem with the “width” property when is set to 100%. Slider works only when browser is fully maximized. When I try to change browser size it stops showing floating text. Does that mean that I have to specify strictly width in pixels?
Hi.
I am looking into this and will get back to you.
Regards.
I have made an update to the code and things should work properly now. I have submitted an update to the files and once they are approved by the admins, they should be available for download. It usually takes around 1-2 days to be approved.
If you want me to send you the updated file faster, please use the contact form on my profile page and send me a message and I will reply back with the updated file.
Regards.
The update has been approved and the new files are available for download.
Regards.
A new update has been implemented:
- Updated the code of the effects so that the first list items animate as well.
- Fixed a bug that was causing a delay in the refresh of the loaded RSS-Atom feed.
Regards.
I need to assign a set width to the label. This doesnt seem to be doable by CSS. Can you suggest way to do this?
This is possible from the CSS very easy. Open the CSS file, go to ”.mt-label”, around line 26, and enter the width that you want:
.mt-label {
width: 150px;
...
}
Regards.
Is there a way to load content into this ticker? Want to use it as a top stories scroll, not necessarily featuring any type of feed.
Hi,
You can simply put the text that you want the ticker to display in the HTML file and the ticker will display it, there is no need for a feed.
Or you can use a simple XML text file with and RSS format for the ticker to load the text from that file automatically and display it. You can update the stories in the XML file and at a specified interval of time, the ticker updates the stories from the XML file automatically.
Regards.
