A simple ajaxified liveticker plugin for WordPress.

Description
-----------

[](#description)

Liveticker is a simple liveticker plugin for WordPress. Easily add multiple livetickers, add them to posts with shortcode or use them as Widget.

### Features

[](#features)

- Handle multiple Tickers
- Automatic update via AJAX
- RSS feed capability
- Gutenberg block and shortcode to display liveticker
- Add ticker to sidebar widgets
- Ability to customize through CSS
- Localization support

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

If you don’t know how to install a plugin for WordPress, [here’s how](https://wordpress.org/support/article/managing-plugins/).

You can obtain the plugin through fhe official WordPress plugin repository. Alternatively you can also use *Copmposer*.

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.4 or above
- WordPress 5.0 or above

Frequently asked questions
--------------------------

[](#frequently-asked-questions)

### How do I display a liveticker on my post/page?

[](#how-do-i-display-a-liveticker-on-my-postpage)

On WordPress 5 sites there is a Gutenberg Block available to embed a liveticker in your post.

You can also use the shortcode `[liveticker ticker="my-ticker"]` on WordPress 4 or classic-mode sites. If you want to define a custom tick limit, you might also add a limit with `[liveticker ticker="my-ticker" limit="10"]`.

### Can I use my own styles?

[](#can-i-use-my-own-styles)

Of course. You can deactivate the default stylesheet on the settings page and include your own instead.

### Does the liveticker work with caching?

[](#does-the-liveticker-work-with-caching)

If you activate AJAX updates (enabled by default), the JavaScript will automatically update the content, even when the page is loaded from cached.

If AJAX is disabled, it depends on your update and caching intervals. If you update your ticker every 5 minutes, a caching time of 12 hours obviously makes no sense.
