news ticker from a particular category

Thanks for contacting me. The lite version of the WP Posts Feed only allows the display of your latest blog posts.

If you would like more control over the posts that are shown, we sell an extension that provides the ability to filter the query by category as well as more complex queries. You can check out the product here https://www.metaphorcreations.com/downloads/ditty-posts-ticker/

Here are two options/settings you could use to select a specific category: https://imgur.com/a/9vJyoHN

The first options shows how to filter by category slug. The second option is to filter by category ID.

Let me know if you have any questions.
