Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to display updates in loop or slider or carousel type of display on my homepage. I basically just want the text updates to display in a single line and continuously slide across the page. Do you have any suggestions for a widget or plugin to use that would work well with the free version of Vantage?

Thank you for your help.

    Hi TechEng

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Where would the textual updates be coming from? Would you be using posts from a category? Would you want users to be able to click on each slide to read more?

    Hello Andrew,
    I would prefer to just type the updates in a list rather than make them posts since I do not need to dedicate an entire link to them. Users could click on any of the updates and it could all go to the same page. I have books that have been updated and that is what I want to display in the loop/slider. Clicking on any of the book titles could take them to my “Books” page. I would like to be able to put a link to an external site in the update too. I do not need images for this, just text.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your feedback. SiteOrigin doesn’t currently have a widget like this. You’d need to hunt for a third-party plugin. I haven’t used a plugin like you described so I don’t have a recommendation, unfortunately. Owl Carousel could perhaps do the trick: https://wordpress.org/plugins/owl-carousel/.
