Live News: The Ultimate News Ticker Plugin for WordPress

Welcome to the future of news delivery on your WordPress site! Say goodbye to stale content and hello to **Live News**, a revolutionary plugin designed to keep your audience glued to the screen with an engaging, real-time news ticker. Just like the pros on TV, you’ll be showcasing everything from breaking news and sports scores to financial updates—all without your users ever having to hit refresh.

Customize News Like a Pro!

Take the reins with the **Featured News** and **Sliding News** menus! Here, you can manually curate the news that appears on your ticker, giving you unparalleled control over what your audience sees. Want to spice it up? Choose your favorite colors for each sliding news item and even upload custom images to make your content pop!

For a taste of what you can do, check out the Sliding News with Stock Market Data demo, where we’ve hand-selected the news and jazzed it up with icons to signal market movements.

Seamlessly Pull News from WordPress!

With Live News, you can easily pull titles, excerpts, and permalinks from your WordPress posts to create a dynamic news ticker that reflects your fresh content—whether you want to show all posts or just specific categories.

RSS Feed News Integration Made Easy!

Looking to aggregate content from other sources? No problem! With **Live News**, you can pull in data from your favorite RSS feeds—be it your own site, a radio station, or the latest headlines from a news channel. Just think about the possibilities!

For instance, check out how our demo uses the BBC News RSS feed to keep the ticker lively and informative. Just make sure you have the permissions sorted out before pulling external content.

The Power of Customization!

This isn’t just any plugin; it’s a powerhouse of options with 56 customizable features per ticker and tons of flexibility for colors, fonts, layout— you name it! Want the ticker to flow through your entire site or just a single page? No problem! From control over hiding/showing featured news to adjusting how it displays across devices, you’ve got it all.

• Apply news ticker to your entire site or target specific URLs.
• Enable or disable each news ticker at a moment’s notice.
• Choose your news source: manually added, WordPress posts, or RSS feeds— the choice is yours!
• Fine-tune display settings, from timing to font sizes to colors

Optimized for Maximum Performance!

Don’t worry about server strain! Our plugin uses the **WordPress Transients API**, allowing you to limit database queries and manage how many requests you send for your news updates. Keep your site running smoothly while delivering the freshest content!
