Scrolling text for WordPress

Marquee Running Text Pro adds responsive scrolling text for announcements, notices, promotions, linked updates, and other short messages. Choose a marquee at the top of your website header, or place one in another supported area with the [mrtext] shortcode. The add-on works with popular page builders without extra configuration.

Separate shows for different areas

Create unlimited marquees and use them on different pages or in different parts of your site. A marquee can contain multiple individual text entries, each with its own link, so one scrolling area can present several messages.

Use the header option to show or conceal a marquee at the top of the website header. For other placements, add [mrtext] where shortcodes are supported:

• In a post or page, use the editor’s Shortcode block or enter the shortcode where supported.
• In a widget, add it to a Shortcode widget.
• In a theme, add it to a PHP file.

Customize the show

Choose custom fonts, background colors, animation styles, and other advanced settings. Unlimited color controls let you adjust text and backgrounds to fit your site’s styling. You can set up each marquee for the area where it appears.

Setup and ongoing use

Standard use requires no coding: add the plugin to your WordPress site, configure the marquee content and style, then pick a header display or a shortcode placement. For posts, pages, widgets, or theme files, insert the shortcode in the relevant location and review the display on your site.

The plugin is described as using lightweight, optimized code for a smoother scrolling experience. The Pro edition includes priority support and regular updates with enhancements and capabilities.
