Vertical News Scroller

Changelog

1.31

  • Removed the donate button and a redundant “Upgrade to Pro” banner from the admin screens.
  • Added Block Editor (Gutenberg) usage instructions to the Manage Scrolling News help section, alongside the existing shortcode instructions.

1.30

  • Fixed scroller width using max-width instead of width, which could make it render wider than its parent container on some themes.
  • The previous update’s “card” look is no longer applied automatically – it’s now an optional Visual Style choice (Default or Card) in the shortcode, widget, and block, so existing scrollers keep their original appearance after updating.

1.29

  • Added a Pro features sidebar to the Manage Scrolling News page, replacing the leftover empty space after removing third-party ad banners – shows what’s included in the Pro version at a glance.

1.28

  • Added a native Gutenberg block (“News Scroller”) – add a scroller from the block inserter instead of pasting a shortcode.
  • Removed third-party promotional banners from the admin screens.
  • Added an admin menu icon for easier recognition in the WordPress sidebar.

1.27

  • Added new v3 scroll engine – lighter and more reliable across themes, now used by default for both the shortcode and widget. Use lib=”v1″ or lib=”v2″ in your shortcode if you need the previous engines for compatibility.
  • Fixed a bug where the widget’s scroll engine setting could be incorrectly sanitized and not save properly.
  • Refreshed the default visual look of the scroller (clean card-style appearance) for a more polished out-of-the-box experience.
  • Reorganized the shortcode documentation in the admin screen for clarity, with copyable code snippets.
