I AcceptHow To Use The News Ticker Element
To start, simply add the element into your desired column, and then configure the Element as you wish.
Initially, choose the source of the ticker feed by choosing a Post Type to display, and then configure the feed. There are options to display the ticker as a running ticker, or one at a time, as well as being able to control the speed and distance between posts etc. There are also some design options for styling the Element.
Read below for a detailed description of all element options.
Element Options
Note: The displayed option screens below show ALL the available options for the element. If you have Avada’s Option Network Dependencies turned on, you will only see options relevant to your selections, and so the options screen may look somewhat different.
