# Infinity scrolling tweet width

 * Great plugin. I need to do quite a bit of customisation but I am having issues
   manipulating the tweets width. I am doing this locally, so unable to provide 
   link to project. I am trying to achieve an infinite ticker, with tweets displaying
   one after another but at the moment I have huge gaps between each tweet as per
   the following screenshots: [http://prntscr.com/gp36rp](http://prntscr.com/gp36rp)
   [http://prntscr.com/gp37qm](http://prntscr.com/gp37qm)
 * Ideally the spacing between each other would be minimal not this huge gap. I 
   have tried to manipulate this though css but had absolutely no luck. Would really
   appreciate your help on this. Thank you!

 * I think your best bet is probably to try a carousel.
 * Try something like:
 *     ```
       [rotatingtweets screen_name='umcqtr' exclude_replies='1' tweet_count='15' rotation_type='carousel' carousel_horizontal=1 carousel_count=2 speed=10000 timeout=0 show_meta_timestamp='0' show_meta_screen_name='0' show_meta_via='0' ]
       ```

 * Hi Martin,
 * Thanks a lot but that does not work as a ticker. This is how my shortcode is 
   configured:
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[rotatingtweets screen_name="user" rotation_type ="
   scrollHorz" tweet_count = "10" speed ="20000" timeout="0" links_in_new_window
   = "1" official_format = "1"]'); ?>`
 * I have also changed the styling a bit. And this is what I have at the moment:
   [https://cl.ly/2q1y2D1Y2T01](https://cl.ly/2q1y2D1Y2T01)
 * It works perfectly apart from the spacing issue. Is it not possible to remove
   that extra spacing between each tweet?

 * I’m pretty sure the only option for making this work will either be some kind
   of carousel – or making the ‘container’ narrower (via setting a `max-width` for`.
   rotatingtweets`). Every other option will size each Tweet to the full width of
   the container and the full width of the area you’ve put Rotating Tweets.
 * What about adding `carousel_responsive=1`:
 *     ```
       [rotatingtweets screen_name='umcqtr' exclude_replies='1' tweet_count='15' rotation_type='carousel' carousel_horizontal=1 carousel_count=2 carousel_responsive=1 speed=10000 timeout=0 show_meta_timestamp='0' show_meta_screen_name='0' show_meta_via='0' ]
       ```

 * PS: This all assumes you are using version 2 of the JavaScript…

 * Yes, I am using version 2 of the JavaScript. Unfortunately the carousel option
   also does not work for what I am trying to achieve. Just can’t seem to be able
   to make them same spacing between each other. Also, links get sometimes stuck
   as the tweet scrolls: [https://cl.ly/0G3Z39013o2D](https://cl.ly/0G3Z39013o2D)
 * I don’t think I’ll be able to achieve what I am looking for here. Will try another
   option. Thanks a lot anyway Martin!

 * I really like this plugin. It is much better than anything else out there. Isn’t
   there a way I could get this to work?

 * It might need some work on the CSS. The script that does the rotation is [here](http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/demo/carousel.php)–
   I’m still not clear that we can solve the problem, but if it is, this is the 
   best place to start.

 * This is with the `rotation_type = 'carousel'` how about for the `rotation_type
   = 'scrollHorz'`? I think I have tried everything with css already. If you could
   come up with a solution for this would be amazing. Obviously I would be willing
   to pay you.

 * Had a better look with a fresher head and realised giving a max-width to `.rotatingtweets.
   cycle-carousel-wrap` does the job! 😉
