Modern News Layouts List Layout — Perfect for company updates, announcements, editorial/news websites, blogs, and industry news feeds. Card Layout — Ideal for featured news sections, homepage highlights, magazine-style displays, and modern content showcases. News Ticker Display scrolling news headlines at the top of any page with the [wpyog_ticker] shortcode. Three animation styles are included:

• Scroll — Continuous horizontal ticker tape. Classic and eye-catching.
• Fade — Headlines cross-fade one at a time. Clean and subtle.
• Flap — Push-up slide animation — current headline slides out upward while the next slides in from below, like an airport departure board.

The ticker supports a custom label chip with configurable background colour and text colour, pause-on-hover, a post counter badge (e.g. 3 / 10), date display, category filtering, and full accessibility support including prefers-reduced-motion.
