Hi Brian,

The red line you see under the headline is not an underline, it’s actually a border.

If you inspect the element, you will see this is the problem:

.headline, .headline a {
    border-bottom: 2px solid #bc2d1a!important;

You can resolve this by adding:

.pjnt-item a {
    border-bottom: none !important;
}

Cheers

Hi Brian,

You may need to make a CSS rule that is more specific in order to override other CSS rules that are more general.

So instead of

a { text-decoration: none; }

try

.pjnt-item a { text-decoration: none; }

This may help you: https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_specificity.asp

Hi,

I’ve added this as an option to the latest version.

Hi, thanks for the report. This is now fixed in latest version.

Hi,

There is not currently a way to automatically refresh, and my first thought is that it probably won’t ever do that.

I’ll investigate, and if it turns out to be easy then I’ll give it a go, but I won’t promise anything.

Hi,

You can edit the file: pj-news-ticker.php, at around line 187:

$content .= '</a>';
$content .= '<img src="YOUR-IMAGE-URL-HERE">'; // this is the new line
$content .= '</span>';

This will add an image at the end of every item. You may also want to add a style tag to give it some margin.

Hi,

Thanks, that was enough info to help me resolve the problem.

Please check out latest version 1.5.3, I believe it’s fixed now.

Cheers,

Hi, I’m still unable to reproduce the error. I created a test site with WordPress 4.9.8, PHP 7.2, and PJ News Ticker 1.5.2, just like yours, and no errors.

How exactly are you adding the ticker to your site? Which theme are you using? Are you modifying any theme files, or core WordPress PHP files? Do you have any other plugins installed that might be relevant?

Can you link to a page where you can show me the problem?

Hi, can you describe the problem in more detail? Show me an example of the problem?

Hi, I can’t seem to reproduce your error.

Could you provide some more detail regarding how you get this error, such as which options do you use, and a sample of the content you are trying to display? A link to your website might help.

Also, are you using the latest version of the plugin? I had problems with show_excerpt and wp_enqueue_script in old versions, that have been fixed. Try updating if you haven’t already.

Thank you! ??

Hi,

Thanks for your ideas.

Pulling in data from RSS is not something I’m considering for the plugin.

The design of the plugin is as a single line, wide, horizontally scrolling marquee. It’s best viewed in a wide space. A marquee doesn’t really belong in a small space, you know?

Perhaps you would be better served by a different plugin? In a narrow space, I think a vertical scrolling plugin might be better.

I did a quick search, and found this example: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/vertically-scroll-rss-feed/ It does RSS, is multi-line, scrolls vertically, and looks like it would suits your needs.

Hi,

It probably had something to do with a separate issue. Anyway, happy to help. Am glad it works now.

Hi,

Can you give some more information, please? The change works well for me. I can set categories and the result is always as expected on my test site.

Cheers,
Paul
