  • caused my site to become unresponsive

    Very weird, plugin was working fine for about half an hour, then out of nowhere I couldn't load the page or the editor for the page where the shortcode was used. I'm guessing there is a conflict with one of my other plugins or themes. Using jupiter theme.

  • Works Well

    This was exactly what I was looking for to show a client's post in a clean news ticker format. The only suggestion would be providing the ability to adjust the timing.
