Description

Live News is a WordPress plugin that brings broadcast-style ticker updates to your site, using real-time headlines, weather alerts, sports results, tweets, and RSS feed items. It helps solve the “stale content” problem by continuously refreshing key updates with a JavaScript timer while keeping the experience light and responsive. With 56 customizable options per ticker, you can match the ticker colors, typography, and behavior to your theme. It’s designed to display dynamic information on high-traffic WordPress installs without noticeably increasing server load.

The plugin supports multiple news sources (manual entry, WordPress post-based generation, RSS retrieval, and Twitter account tweets) and can be configured to show on the whole website or only specific URLs. Live News is multisite ready and supports mobile visibility controls, making it practical for modern content and community sites that need consistent, engaging updates.

Main Features

  • Real-time ticker updates — Refreshes displayed items using a JavaScript timer for near live behavior.
  • Multiple content sources — Creates ticker entries from manual input, WordPress posts, RSS feeds, or a Twitter account.
  • Featured and sliding items — Lets you configure featured news and sliding news separately for clearer hierarchy.
  • Deep visual customization — Customizes colors, graphical assets, and typography per ticker for consistent branding.
  • Performance-friendly caching — Uses the WordPress Transients API to cache ticker data and reduce repeated processing.
  • Configurable server requests — Allows you to adjust the number of AJAX requests based on your site’s needs.
  • Behavior controls — Lets you set sliding speed, number of displayed items, and optional clock display.
  • Targeting options — Shows tickers site-wide or only on selected URLs.
  • Mobile and RTL support — Includes an option to enable/disable on mobile and supports RTL layouts.

Benefits

  • More engaging UX — Keeps visitors informed with continuously updated, ticker-style content.
  • Better content relevance — Displays the latest headlines, sports results, weather alerts, tweets, or RSS items without manual refresh cycles.
  • Lower server load — Caching via the Transients API and configurable AJAX requests help maintain speed on busy WordPress sites.
