Applies to: TickerPress Free and Pro 0.1.0.
Use a horizontal reveal or stepped typewriter effect for individual ticker items.
Before you start
Activate compatible Free and Pro. Prepare at least two readable, short text items for the walkthrough. You need permission to edit tickers. Open TickerPress → Tickers, then Edit the ticker. For public output, the ticker must be published, enabled, and contain enabled content that resolves to at least one item.
Steps
- Open Animation → Animation type.
- Choose Horizontal reveal or Typewriter.
- Adjust Time per item (seconds) and Transition duration (ms). Give visitors enough time to read the longest item.
- Set Pause on hover, review the preview, and select Update.
- Test the public page with multiple items, keyboard focus in a link, and reduced-motion preferences enabled.
Expected result
The selected Pro effect runs through the shared ticker animation system. Typewriter steps are sized from each item’s visible text.
Troubleshooting and limits
These are visual animation effects, not controls for editing or generating text. A single item does not provide repeated slider transitions. Missing compatible Pro can remove the choices; saved Pro animation IDs are preserved, with fade fallback when Pro styling is unavailable. If the preview and frontend differ, verify the deployed Free/Pro assets and clear relevant page caches.
