Is the feed picked up by the search engines?

Our template uses the wp head function, but all we see is a simple list… As its a prod site, we had to pull the code that inserts the ticker, but do you have any ideas?

Anywhere you'd like. the plugin's supposed to work outside the Loop. Specifically on your site the obvious place for a news ticker would be right under div class="art-contentLayout", but then again, it depends on a functionality you try to achieve.

Hi Dan, can you link to your installation?

I did as you say: Delete the old version, make sure all files are deleted, then do a fresh install of the 2.0 version. But it doesn’t work for me. I always get this JS error:

jQuery(“#news-ticker”).cycle is not a function

Please help!

My feelings exactly! Unfortunately it’s a school website and most of the people looking at the current site are using IE. I have put the IE 6 updater script on there though so hopefully a few will upgrade to something else…

Yes, I see it, Ed. What you have there is probably the best you can do.

Words can not express my feelings for IE.

Ah ha I’ve fixed it. Turns out if you use IE and you have the pre cursing div has a bg and bg colour it steals the bg colour and uses that. You can use:
cleartypeNoBg: true,
Seems to let it work in IE and all other browsers fine, although in IE the font goes a bit messy when it scrolls. It will do for now though!
