Why use the Divi News Ticker module?

A scrolling news strip is a compact way to surface recent posts without dedicating a whole section to them. Stock Divi has no ticker, so it usually means an external plugin or a hand-written marquee script.

News Ticker queries the site's real posts or pages directly: category, order, count and exclusions are all module settings. Nothing is typed in by hand, so it stays current as new content publishes.

This is the live module, reading this site's real published posts.
