Frequently asked questions
Q1. Can I add more then one RSS feed at same time?
No, You can add only one RSS url at a time.

This is the continuous scroll, so we need to maintain the same height for the content, for that you need to update the admin property “Each scroller height in scroll”.

No, at present option not available.
Q4. What is “Display number of record at the same time in scroll”?
This property is to set the no of record to display(in front end) at the same time.
Q5. What is “Enter max character for each post/title”?
This is to fix the no of character for each post.

How can I change the color of the background?
how can i adjust the widget so that the links are opened in a new window/tab?
This plug in is very close to what I was looking for. Do yu have any plans to include options for 1) slowing the feed rotation speed, and 2) showing the item summary (description) content?
Thanks!
Mariana: in continuous-rss-scrolling.js in the plug-in folder change
// start scrolling
setTimeout(“crs_scroll();”, 2000);
to (for example)
// start scrolling
setTimeout(“crs_scroll();”, 8000);
to slow down the scrolling
Is it real to add into feed thumbnails from rss?
Example: http://appshopper.com/feed/paidtofree/?device=iPhone
Great widget! Nice work!
Is there a way to add more than one news feed?
Is there a way to open the link in a new tab/window?
Other than that its a great widget!
Is there a way to modify the code so the rss link opens in a new window? Thanks!
Hi Luke,
You can create a multiple RSS feed at http://rssmix.com/, and then just use the feed url from this to create a combined feed. Great plugin!
I tried this and for some reason it won’t show anything on the feed. Am I missing a step. It works fine if I just use one of the individual feeds.
I am trying to do the same thing but cant get it to show any data.
I tried rssmix.com and also tried the google reader published feed. This consolidates many feeds into one output, but again this widget displays nothing, even with the google folder set to PUBLIC.
Help!
who open link new window?
great widget . .
How do you change the overall height of the scroller?
thank you,
Ryan
Like this widget started using it would be nice to have a option to open the links in a new window ?
Still searching for the code
this is very simple to do..
Hi All, Please check the new version of this plug-in “3.0″. two new feature.
1. Only admin use can access this plug-in via admin –> setting tab
2. Links will open in the new window
Hi there,
i installed this plug in, but suddenly it takes a huge amount of time to load slowing down the loading of the entire site.
I upgraded to version 3 but the delay still occurs.
RSS loads rapidly on rss readers but the plugin takes more than 10 seconds to load.
Thank you for the update, but I don’t want the links to open in a new window! I am using this to highlight a RSS feed of one of the categories on my own blog. I want links to open in the same window.
Is it possible to make this an option rather than making all the links open in new windows by default?
Thank you for the great plugin!
Michelle

I’m having a problems recently with the item title not showing on the scroll. There is an arrow on the left which should point to the product name but it is blank. However, when I click on the arrow, it links to the product. How do I get the title to show beside the arrows? I now have gaps everywhere on the scroll! Many thanks in advance.
any plans for horizontal rss display.
would be prefer if we could get that going

In clicking on the title of the widget, the user is taken to a moving company – http://www.libertyrelocation.net/
What’s the deal with this? This is terrible!
The RSS feed I would like to show on my home page using CRS includes some CDATA sections. The links for these entries are not formulated correctly resulting in a 404 error. I am using version 4.0 of CRS and I’m sure it worked correctly with the previous version. The RSS feed is http://ourmaritimeties.com/tng/tngrss.php. Is there a fix for this or can I get a copy of the previous version (new to WP and only had a copy in the WP content folder).
TIA, Arthur
F*ckin’ tremendous issues here. I’m very glad to see your article. Thanks so much and i am taking a look forward to contact you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?
Hi, thanks for the nice plugin!
It would be awesome if the following was included:
- Possibility to add several rss feeds
- Possibility to show images/thumbnails from rss feeds
- Possibility to add the rss feeds into post/pages etc. with shortcodes
I have been looking desperately for a plugin that can do the things I mentioned above, but there is no one so far!
For what it is worth the following line was commented out in my copy. Had to uncomment to start scroilling.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/wp-content/plugins/continuous-rss-scrolling/continuous-rss-scrolling.js”>
Mike, where is that script located? I can’t seem to find where it should be located.

Thanking you in advance!
Scroll works but the link go to a 404 page. the link is changed to “http://albertaevents.com/network/%3C![CDATA[http://www.albertaevents.com/calendar/index.php?com=detail&eID=15986]]%3E “. instead of http://www.albertaevents.com/calendar/index.php?com=detail&eID=15986 Where did all that extra code come from? Can this be corrected?

Hi Gopi,
I have downloaded this plugin and it is a nice plugin. However is there any way to change the font color of the scrolling text. I am asking this since i hv put this in the footer and my footer is black…so the text is very light.
Pls let me know if there is any way to do this. I would like Yellow color for the scrolling text.
My website is http://www.vandanam.com
Thanks,

Hi there,
I just installed the plugin but am having problems feeding one particular RSS Feed’s URL. The plugin isnt showing any errors and appears to have allocated the right amount of space to display the feed headings, but it is just blank. Here’s the URL Im trying to feed – any ideas? http://www.bitronlubricants.com/support/rss/index.php?/News/Feed
I have tried the built in WordPress RSS widget using the same link to the above RSS Feed and it works fine – but I really like the scrolling idea and want to get it working.
If you can help that would be great
Cheers,
Kev
try with diff rss link
I’ve tried other rss feeds from other blogs and they work perfectly. The rss link I posted above is not working using this particular plugin. The link works with the built in RSS widget in wordpress (non scrolling) but with this particular plugin it just appears blank. I’ve tried the basics that I know of to get it going but so far no luck. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks Kev
