Ticker Does Not Display Correctly in Top Bar

    I’ve made a ticker to display in a sticky header. It is not displaying correctly, in that only one item appears at a time and it starts on the left side and scrolls off the screen. Then the next item displays.

    But, when I put it on a page and not the sticky header, it works correctly.

    I can see in the code for the sticky header that only one item is listed at a time. After it scrolls through, the code changes and the second item comes in.

    On the page, it lists all three items and scrolls through them properly, without code changes.

    I’m stumped. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    @njaknjak I’m not seeing the ticker on your site anymore, but it sounds like you are dealing with a container size issue. The Ditty ticker will expand to fill it’s parent containers width automatically, but if it’s placed within a flex container you may need to use css to force the width of the container element. Flex containers rely on the dimensions of their child elements to create the dimensions of the container, but since the ticker has no set width (relying on it’s parent container for it) there isn’t any element setting the display width of the container or contents.

    I have been looking for something in the CSS that effects the size in the container it is in, but haven’t had any luck. Unfortunately, I had to update the theme and create a child theme, and I think some old CSS is in there I can’t weed out yet. It also automatically converted the header from the way it was set up in the out-of-date them to the new way.

    I had to turn it off for now so my clients can see what it look like without it. Once we launch what we have so far, I will turn it back on and tackle it again.

    Thanks!!!

    Sounds good, thanks for the info. Once you get it back up and running again let me know and I can take a look at it from the front end.
