FAQ
Is there a free version?
Yes. The free plugin on WordPress.org includes up to 5 marquees with unlimited items, the live preview builder, every placement, the block and the Elementor widget.
How do I add Pro?
Pick a plan and pay securely by card or PayPal. Then download Marquee Running Text Pro from your account (or the purchase email), install it and enter your license key. It replaces the free plugin and keeps all your marquees.
Will it work with my theme or page builder?
Yes. It works with any theme — including older themes — plus Gutenberg, Elementor and the classic editor through the shortcode.
Will updating from 1.x delete my texts?
No. Your texts, links, colors, speed and show/hide setting are moved automatically, and the old settings stay in the database.
Will it slow down my site?
No. The script is tiny, needs no jQuery, loads only on pages with a marquee and pauses when the bar is off-screen.
Start with the free plugin today and upgrade to Pro when you need more.
