Marquee Running Text
Marquee Running Text adds a smooth scrolling text bar — a news ticker, offer banner or announcement bar — to your website in a minute. Build it with a live preview, then show it at the top of every page, as a sticky bar, as a fixed bottom bar, or anywhere with a shortcode, block or Elementor widget.

Version 2.0 is a complete rebuild: a modern, lightweight animation engine replaces the old <marquee> tag, and everything you set up in 1.x is moved over automatically.
