Marquee Running Text

Marquee Running Text adds a smooth scrolling text bar — a news ticker, offer banner or announcement bar — to your website in a minute. Build it with a live preview, then show it at the top of every page, as a sticky bar, as a fixed bottom bar, or anywhere with a shortcode, block or Elementor widget.

Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild: a modern, lightweight animation engine replaces the old <marquee> tag, and everything you set up in 1.x is moved over automatically.

Features

• Live preview builder — see every change instantly while you edit.
• Up to 5 marquees, each with its own items, colors and placement.
• Unlimited items per marquee, each with an optional link (new tab and nofollow options). Drag and drop to reorder.
• Placements: top of the page, sticky top bar, fixed bottom bar, or shortcode/block only.
• Shortcode: [mrtext id="123"], or [mrtext] for your default marquee.
• Gutenberg block and Elementor widget.
• Label box such as “Breaking News” or “Notice”.
• Styling: background, text, hover, separator and label colors; font size and weight; bar height; spacing; rounded corners.
• Separators: dot, line, star, any character or emoji, or none.
• Motion: direction, speed, pause on hover, optional pause/play button.
• Close button that remembers the visitor’s choice.
• Show on the entire site or the homepage only; hide on mobile or desktop.
• Accessible: keyboard friendly, respects “reduce motion”, optional pause button.
• Fast: a tiny dependency-free script (no jQuery) that only loads on pages with a marquee, and pauses when off-screen.
• RTL ready and translation ready.
• Works with any theme — including themes that do not support wp_body_open.
