Modern News Layouts
List Layout — Perfect for company updates, announcements, editorial/news websites, blogs, and industry news feeds.
Card Layout — Ideal for featured news sections, homepage highlights, magazine-style displays, and modern content showcases.
News Ticker
Display scrolling news headlines at the top of any page with the [wpyog_ticker] shortcode. Three animation styles are included:
- Scroll — Continuous horizontal ticker tape. Classic and eye-catching.
- Fade — Headlines cross-fade one at a time. Clean and subtle.
- Flap — Push-up slide animation — current headline slides out upward while the next slides in from below, like an airport departure board.
The ticker supports a custom label chip with configurable background colour and text colour, pause-on-hover, a post counter badge (e.g. 3 / 10), date display, category filtering, and full accessibility support including prefers-reduced-motion.
[wpyog_ticker animation="scroll" label="Breaking News" speed="medium" limit="10"]
[wpyog_ticker animation="flap" show_count="true" show_date="true" label="Top News" label_bg="#1a1a2e"]
Smart Shortcode Generator
Generate custom shortcodes directly from the admin panel without coding. The Shortcode Generator has two tabs — one for News List/Card and one for the News Ticker — with a live preview that updates as you change settings.
