Keep current updates visible

Live News Pro displays a fixed ticker on a WordPress site, with Featured News and Sliding News sections. Use it for headlines, financial updates, weather warnings, election or sports results, and other announcements. Add configured news items, or generate items automatically from WordPress posts or a specified RSS feed, such as a website feed or one from a television or radio channel. Automatically generated news comes from the source you select.

Set how the news moves

Adjust the speed and delay of sliding news to suit its content and reading time. The ticker requests updates through AJAX at the end of each news cycle. Use Cached Cycled to set how many cycles execute per request, or store ticker data in a WordPress transient to limit the queries used to retrieve news.

Choose the ticker's appearance

Customize colors and typography across the ticker, including its featured and sliding sections. Replace the pictures for the open and close buttons or the clock background with custom images. Add links to news items and pick whether they open in the same tab or a new one. Small images can appear before or after sliding news text, for provider logos, financial trends, or communication categories.

An optional clock can use a custom format. Its options also let you choose server time or user time, set a time offset, and choose how often the show updates.

Choose where it appears

Apply a ticker across the website or assign it to specific URLs. Different tickers can be assigned to various URLs, with no limit on the number you create. Mobile device detection lets administrators show or hide the ticker, or selected components, according to device type. RTL layouts are supported.

Configure and use the ticker

Create a ticker, choose configured content, WordPress posts, or an RSS feed, then set its featured and sliding news, movement, styling, and placement. Configure links, clock settings, device rules, caching, and RTL display as needed. Live News Pro can also run locally in a browser-based digital signage system.
