Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Marquee Running Text

Yes. On the first load after the update, your five texts, links, colors, font size, direction, speed and show/hide setting are moved into a marquee called "Header Marquee". It is shown in the same place as before, and [mrtext] keeps working. Your old settings are also kept in the database. The marquee does not appear in my header. Check that the marquee is Active and its placement is Top of page, Sticky top bar or Fixed bottom bar. If you use a caching plugin, clear its cache.
Up to 5 in the free version. Marquee Running Text Pro removes the limit.
Yes. Emoji work everywhere, and you can use <strong>, <em>, <b>, <i> and <u> in item text.
Yes. Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu and other RTL text is displayed correctly, and the label is placed on the right on RTL sites.
If a visitor has turned on "reduce motion" in their operating system, the marquee does not move; they can scroll it by hand. You can also add a pause/play button.
