Hello Dear GOPI
THANKS
Hi, As per your requirements i have created and listed this plugin, have a look..
I’m glad I contributed to you – and I recommend everyone to donate
You are wonderful man
Great plugin! If only it could inherit settings from the main theme. That would be my only recommendation for this plugin. Currently, The title of this widget takes the default setting. If it would give an option to choose the title style from what’s available in the plugin, it would be great. Thanks for your work!!
Normally in all the plugin widget title CSS inherit from the theme.
hmmm
i have a problem accord in marque. there is no any space to separate each other..
please give me solution.. also there is only show 2 marque but i have submitted 4
Hi Sameer, If you need extra space between two message you can add this HTML “<br />” text at the end of each message. in the admin please check your GROUP name of the each message, based on the GROUP name it will display in the frond end.
Hi all,
New version available with message expiration date option.
How can I change the user permissions to allow users with author level permissions add new content?
Thanks
Hi Rob,
You can change the permissions by updating the file manually.
Fine: vertical-marquee-plugin.php
Line: 355, 356
thanks, will try that out.
thanks for the info and the plugin.
can’t seem to figure out what to add in to change it
Not able to find, can you please give more details..
more details for what? I’m trying to give author level permissions so authors can add notes to the marquee. You mentioned what lines but I can’t figure out what code to add in or change to adjust the user roles privileges.
one more thing, how can we set it to have a space between messages or a line break? Do we have to manually enter it in ever message or do we need to put our message in a <p. tag or add a line break to the end of them all?
thanks, Rob
Hi,
This is a great plug-in and the addition of the expiry date makes it even better – thanks for providing it. I have a problem though in that I am getting this message on my site now: “Please check your short code, no records available.”. Nothing has changed on my site – no changes to the short code used and no changes to the scrolling text. It was working fine before!
Any ideas would be great. Thanks.
I found the problem – the expiration date defaulted to 0000-00-00 when I upgraded – I assumed that this meant it never expired.
All OK now – thanks again for the plug-in.
[vertical-marguee setting="2" group="group1"]
If this is your short code and your getting “no records available”. it means in the admin there is no records with the group name “group1″ or all the records expired for this group name.
Hi Gopi,
Is there a way that i can change the behavior of the scroll just like in “scroll-post-excerpt”.
Can it pause once each post reaches the top?
Hello – I LOVE your plugins! I am trying one for the first time and have a question.
I am using the vertical marquee. I have set up content that is vendor logos and everything works beautifully but I need to make one adjustment and don’t know where to go.
The marquee goes all the way up the right side of the page. It starts to populate at the bottom and scroll upwards. Is there a way to have it start where the content populates at the top and then starts to scroll upwards? the way it looks now there is nothing in the box but at the bottom the logos start to appear and then it takes quite awhile (because I need the box so big) for them to get to the top…
I am going to try to change it in the meantime to start at the top… but it’s not really what my client wants.
Can you just direct me to where I can maybe change that?
Thanks again… and I can’t wait to try out your other plugins in some other sites! Great job!
JC
can i get this plug-in to pull from existing posts or must i manually add text each time i want to update the contents of the marquee??
Hi Judy, You can check “Post title marquee scroll” plugin for horizontal scrolling. we will create the new plugin for vertical marquee.
Hi Gopi,
I have used this plugin in widgets.Its works fine.But,the marquee information is showing by underline,I dont want underline. how can i overcome this issue?
Hi Praveen, This may be because of your theme css, we dont have any separate css class to control this widget. So please please arrange your css class in the theme css file.. You can find style. css file in the theme folder.
Hi, i love the plug in and its just what I want however I cant seem to find anywhere that enables me to align it. I basically removed the META widget from my website and replaced it with yours, now the META widget aligns perfectly, but yours does not, its position in too low and to far left, I would really appreiciate it you could tell me how to align the widget and where I need to look.
Many thanks in advance

How to display all content in one page without marquee effect ?
I love this plugin. I am trying to add 2 marquees within the same side bar with different information. Do you have information on how to do this? Also where do I find the short code within the WordPress control panel?
Thank You
Hello,
Why does this plugin say (on the plugin page) that it requires “4.0 or higher” ?? There is no WordPress 4.0.
