The posts ticker - Verba

The posts ticker is a thin line of headlines that scrolls sideways across the page. The free theme has two: one around the navigation and one in the footer. They're set up the same way, each on its own Posts Ticker tab.

A posts ticker under the navigation, with thumbnails, category labels, titles, and bylines — The header ticker below the navigation.

Header ticker: AppearanceCustomizeVerba ThemeNavigation, Posts Ticker tab. Off by default. It can sit above the navigation, below it (the default), or below the page header.
Footer ticker: AppearanceCustomizeVerba ThemeFooter, Posts Ticker tab. On by default. It can sit above the call to action, at the top of the footer (the default), or at the bottom.

If a line of moving headlines appears at the bottom of every page and you don't want it, this is where it comes from. Turn off Enable Posts Ticker on the Footer section's Posts Ticker tab.

#Choose the posts

Posts Source takes the latest posts, sticky posts, random posts, or posts you pick by hand. Number of Posts sets how many run through the line, eight by default.

#With Pro

Pro adds Posts Ticker Source for each ticker, on the General tab of VerbaTheme OptionsNavigation and VerbaTheme OptionsFooter: Off, Native (the ticker described here), Advanced (a full post listing, set on that page's Posts Ticker tab), Elementor Template, or Block Pattern. Native stays the default, so installing Pro doesn't change a ticker you've already set up.

The ticker moves too fast to read

Raise Loop Duration. With more posts in the line, each one gets less time on screen at the same duration.

I set up the header ticker and can't see it

Enable Posts Ticker is off by default for the header. Turn it on at the top of the Posts Ticker tab under Navigation.
