How to customize news ticker tagdiv newsmag

The News Ticker widget in TagDiv NewsMag theme!

Customizing the News Ticker widget can be a bit tricky, but I'll guide you through the process. Please note that you'll need to have some basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and PHP.

Step 1: Locate the News Ticker widget

In your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Widgets. You should see the News Ticker widget listed among the available widgets.

Step 2: Edit the News Ticker widget

Click on the News Ticker widget to edit it. You'll see a popup window with several options.

Step 3: Customize the News Ticker settings

In the News Ticker settings, you can adjust the following options:

• Ticker speed: Set the speed of the news ticker in milliseconds.
• Ticker direction: Choose the direction of the news ticker (left to right or right to left).
• Ticker animation: Select the animation effect for the news ticker (e.g., slide, fade, or none).
• Ticker font size: Adjust the font size of the news ticker text.
• Ticker font family: Choose the font family for the news ticker text.

Step 4: Customize the News Ticker template

To further customize the News Ticker widget, you'll need to edit the template files. You can do this by:

• Editing the News Ticker template file: In your theme directory, navigate to wp-content/themes/NewsMag/inc/news-ticker/news-ticker.php. This file contains the HTML and PHP code for the News Ticker widget. You can edit this file to customize the layout, add custom CSS classes, or modify the HTML structure.
• Creating a custom News Ticker template: You can create a custom template file in your theme directory, e.g., wp-content/themes/NewsMag/inc/news-ticker/custom-news-ticker.php. This file will override the default News Ticker template.

Step 5: Add custom CSS

To customize the appearance of the News Ticker widget, you can add custom CSS code to your theme's stylesheet (style.css) or a custom CSS file (e.g., custom.css in your theme directory).

For example, you can add the following CSS code to change the background color and text color of the News Ticker widget:

.news-ticker {
  background-color: #f0f0f0;
  color: #333;
}

Step 6: Save and refresh

Save your changes to the News Ticker widget and refresh your website to see the customizations in action.

Remember to always backup your theme files and database before making any changes. If you're not comfortable editing code, consider hiring a developer or seeking assistance from the TagDiv support team.
