Overview

Many sites have news or announcements that get buried in a post archive. This plugin gives them a dedicated spot. You add news items from a simple dashboard, then present them in a scrolling widget or a styled list that visitors notice. The interface is meant for people without coding experience, so a news section can be put together quickly.

Appearance is adjustable. You pick a design template, choose horizontal, vertical or ticker scrolling, and set how fast the feed moves. Widgets are responsive, so they adapt to desktop, tablet and mobile screens. Shortcodes place a feed wherever you need it, and category or tag filters decide which items appear. It suits blogs, corporate sites and news portals alike.

Features

  • Multiple scrolling styles: Choose horizontal, vertical or ticker scrolling for your news feed, so the movement fits the space where the widget sits on the page.
  • Customizable design templates: Start from a set of ready-made templates and adjust them to match your site's branding, colors and overall style.
  • Responsive widgets: News widgets adapt to desktop, tablet and mobile screens, giving visitors a consistent view of your updates on any device.
  • Simple news management: Add, edit and manage news items from one dashboard, which keeps routine updates quick and easy to handle.
  • Category and tag filtering: Show news posts from specific categories or tags, so each widget presents only the content that suits its audience or page.
  • Shortcode placement: Embed news feeds and scrolling widgets anywhere on your website using shortcodes, including pages, posts and widget areas that accept them.
  • Auto scrolling controls: Set the scrolling speed and enable pause on hover, so visitors can read an item at their own pace.
  • RTL and multisite support: Works with right-to-left languages and across WordPress multisite networks, which helps multilingual and international sites.
