Items overlapping on initial view with ticker

    Great plugin!
    I’m running into an issue where if I choose a ticker and select initial display as “Filled”, sometimes on initial page load one item overlaps another item. Then when it gets across the screen and starts over that overlap goes away as it continues. The only way I have been able to resolve is change initial display to empty and have them start from the side. Problem with that is it won’t start until in comes into viewport.

    I’m wondering if there is a quick fix for this. Possibly setting their width or position in css to keep from overlapping? I am currently using the “Max Width” setting in the ticker settings. Also, I have Clone and Wrap items set to Yes, otherwise I end up with a blank section before the ticker restarts.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Thanks for reaching out. Can you provide a link to your site so I can check it out? If you have images within your ticker you need to make sure you define the widths of the images with inline styles to ensure the Ditty can accurately calculate widths of the items.

    Thanks for the quick reply Joe. I just can’t get it to show the issue consistently. I’ve seen it happen with images and with static text (not posts) on multiple sites. And sometimes it doesn’t load at all. Wondering if it might be a server cache issue or a theme (Avada) conflict. I followed your advice with setting image widths inline. I also enabled Ajax Loading under the settings, but not sure that is helping or if that is for the editor side.

    I’ll reach out again if there is more consistency to the issue.
    Thanks for your help and attention.
