No option is available now. At present, we have the option to add only one RSS feed. we will consider these multiple feed options in a future release.

Q2. Why my scroll content is out of range?

This is the continuous scroll, so we need to maintain the same height for each content, for that you need to update the value “Scroll height” in your backend. This will make the scroll smoother.

No, at present this option is not available in this module. However, we have an alternate module for this feature.

Q4. How to use the “Display count” parameter on the configuration page?

This textbox is to set the number of records to display (in the front end) at the same time in the scroll area. For example, if you enter value three. Three titles will be displayed on the website at the same time.

This is to fix the number of characters for each title to show in the scroll area. That is the maximum length of characters to show in the scroll.
