    Hi ! I wonder why this plugin ( the settings page ) is seen for mere subscribers. Is there a way for me to get rid of this bug ? The WP version I’m using is 3.0.4 ( the newest one ).

  3. Annie says:

    I was going to install this plugin however when it does not work on the home page of your site it does not make me feel confident about placing it on my homepage.

  4. Teri says:

    I have used this plug in on three wp blogs without any problems and loved it! However . . . when I updated to newest wp version a bug showed up in it. Subscribers in their dashboards can see the plug in and make changes to it as well. I’ve deactivated it till the bug can be fixed, which I hope you do . . . I’ll be missing it till then!

    Hi

    Is there any way to have a shortcode for the plugin, so that I can include it anywhere on my pages?

    It is only possible to insert it in the PHP template, but not ideal if you don’t want it on pages.

    thank you for your support, and by the way: GREAT PLUGIN!

    Hi, Thank you for creating so many wonderful and easy-to-use plugins for wordpress! Your work is great.

    I just found your Announcement Ticker Highlight Scroller. Do you have plans to add a shortcode for this plugin? I find it very simple and useful for my site, but I would like to embed it into a page an don’t know enough php, css to do so without shortcode functionality. Thank you!
