Joe is fantastic to work with.
Problem: Tickers not importing.
Cause: Posts/Tickers existed in target site, WP blocks import of duplicate posts.
Solution: Rename or delete existing tickers, then import. Note: when you import posts, the ticker will have a different ID and shortcodes used to display the ticker are based on ID. So, you will need to update any shortcodes or widgets you are using to display the ticker.
Thanks Joe!
