Hello
It looks like a very easy and friendly plugin
But unfortunately it not working in my site
http://socsci.tau.ac.il/polimass/
if you can see where the word “YNET” at the bottom, that’s the title
but no scrolling
this is the feed link I entered
http://www.ynet.co.il/Integration/StoryRss1854.xml
do you know way?
Thank you

Where do I insert this php code? index.php? header.php?
how
target=”_blank”
for link ?
Thanks
Use “#” if no target link
I have the same question about making the feed links show up in a new tab or window. Adding target=”_blank” usually works for that, but I have absolutely no idea where to put it.
I really want to keep using this, but my client is insisting the links open in a new window. Help?
(I saw your reply, to use “#” if no target link, but I don’t understand what you mean.)
Thanks.
Check version 2.0, In the admin we have option to set the target position…..
That is AWESOME! Everything works perfectly now and I absolutely love this plugin! Best one I’ve found. Thank you!!
I have added it to a widget and it is successfully scrolling RSS1, but is there any way for it to scroll all the RSS feeds I have configured?
Thanks
Was working great…now it doesn’t!
The plugin won’t show whether I add the code directly to the page or use a shortcode.
check ur xml url.
I have checked all my urls – can you give me more information on what you mean? Thank you so much for your help.
Hello to all
Sorry but i couldn’t make it work
Any suggestions?
Please see my post from August 15, 2011

I have checked the site, it seems like, plugin not able to read your RSS.. did u check with any-other rss??
Great Plugin really.
you forgot to add .stripslashes to remove backslashes in the feed.
Cheers
PM
i will check and update the plugin soon…
nice plugin…thank you for sharing!
Is it possible to display mulitple fields from my feed? Right now all I’m getting is the Title.
Thanks
I have added two RSS feeds in the plugin settings.
I have directly added the code in the theme. But it is showing only the first RSS feed. How do I make it to show both RSS feed at a time in the scroll.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks a ton!
Working fine! Just one question – it is showing only 7/8 latest feed but the feed i inserted has 1000 links, how can I show all of the links?
Thanks again for this cool plugin
i think this option available in the admin setting..
Nope! there is no option to decide how many feed it will show. It has scroll delay and scroll amount. Also it seems if I change the colour of the font from the admin settings it doesn’t work. Just a feedback for your next update.
Again – you done a very good job!

how can I change the color? I see the field where I can enter the html to change it, but it doesn’t seem to work. help!
I am also looking for colour changing solution like Kevin, I tried using a <div, it changes the background but not the text colour.
Also – is there any way to make the links nofollow? It is very critical if you show news ticker on your home page or your SEO would be rubbish

Boa noite. Pessoal, eu instalei o pluguin até conseguir instalar nos postes e paginas, mas não conseguir configurar para aprecer direto no thema. poderia me ajudar como fazer. obrigado
The feed has links going back several years and I only want the ticker to show the most recent articles. How do I do that? (I apologize, but I only know enough to be dangerous.)
thanks
I often find it difficult to locate the ultimate useful content, so when I think you have no you need to post it. I would love people to demonstrate

Hi,
I want to use this marquee in the centre of the page , not on side bar. Please guide me , how can I do that ?
Hi,
I’m new to this so please be understanding.
I’m still getting backslashes in my feed and only one feed will work. I was under the impression that the backslash issue was corrected? How do I get more than one feed at a time to work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
