I have the direct function code which was provided by the plugin. Just don’t know which coding page to insert it and how to position it.

If it does, you can simply insert the shortcode in an advanced text widget and add the widget under the frontpage slider. * Regards * Thread Starter [sdamps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdamps/) * (@sdamps) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-news-ticker/#post-7020854) * [@layerthemes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/layerthemes/) I did as you said but its not working.

It works just fine but I will like for the ticker to appear across the entire front page below the header image. * Thread Starter [sdamps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdamps/) * (@sdamps) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-news-ticker/#post-7020911) * This is the current site : [http://dev.stclementmh.org/](http://dev.stclementmh.org/) * Theme Author [OptimizerWP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/layerthemes/) * (@layerthemes) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-news-ticker/#post-7020939) * [@sdamps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdamps/) Can you please insert the shortcode in an advanced text widget and let me know here? * Thanks * Thread Starter [sdamps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdamps/) * (@sdamps) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-news-ticker/#post-7020960) * Okay I have done that and it works, except there are two lines appearing at each end above the ticker going into the slider image. What could this be? * Theme Author [OptimizerWP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/layerthemes/) * (@layerthemes) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-news-ticker/#post-7020961) * [@sdamps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdamps/) Sorry I dont understand.

I also have another question. Initially I was working on the site locally, when I migrated over to become live the content was visible on the front end but when I went to the back end to edit, the content was no longer there. Is there a reason for this? I also had to upload all the images again. I’m hoping I do not gave to do this again since I will have to change the domain eventually. * Thread Starter [sdamps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdamps/) * (@sdamps) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-news-ticker/#post-7020965) * Any way that I can remove that white space above the ticker as well? * Thread Starter [sdamps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdamps/) * (@sdamps) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-news-ticker/#post-7020966) * Any way to make the images on the front page link to the actual album? * Theme Author [OptimizerWP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/layerthemes/) * (@layerthemes) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-news-ticker/#post-7020971) * [@sdamps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sdamps/) * 1. Can you please use a bigger image in the slider image field and see if the borders go away? * 2. When you change the domain you will have to upload the images to your new domain again, so yes, you might have to change the images. * 3. Just checked your site, I am not seeing a white space above the ticker. * 4. yes, just remove the block image from the image field, and insert the image in the block’s content field and then click the image and click the “link” button from the editor toolbar to link them. * Regards Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Insert News ticker’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/themes.svn.wordpress.org/optimizer/0.7.4/screenshot.png) * Optimizer * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/optimizer/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/optimizer/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/optimizer/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/theme/optimizer/reviews/) * 14 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [OptimizerWP](https://wordpress.org/support/users/layerthemes/) * Last activity: [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/insert-news-ticker/#post-7020971) * Status: not resolved
