Problems getting ticker to appear in footer.php

    Hi,

    Im running 1.4.14 of Ditty News Ticker and Im having a problem trying to the DNT into my theme via Direct Mode.

    It appears my theme’s header is made up of both header.php and wrapper-header.php.

    When I place the DNT code (below) into the header.php it works but is in the wrong place.

    Through trial and error it turns out I need to add it into wrapper-header.php (as I want the DNT to appear below the logo but before the main menu).

    <div class="container">
<?php if(function_exists('ditty_news_ticker')){ditty_news_ticker(4027);} ?>
</div>

    The wp_head() function is present in the header.php and the same for footer.php.

    The full wrapper-header.php looks like the below:

    <?php /* Wrapper Name: Header */ ?>
<div class="row">
        <div class="span6" data-motopress-type="static" data-motopress-static-file="static/static-logo.php">
                <?php get_template_part("static/static-logo"); ?>
        </div>
        <div class="span6 hidden-phone" data-motopress-type="static" data-motopress-static-file="static/static-search.php">
                <?php get_template_part("static/static-search"); ?>
        </div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="container">
<?php if(function_exists('ditty_news_ticker')){ditty_news_ticker(4027);} ?>
</div>
<div class="<?php echo cherry_get_layout_class( 'full_width_content' ); ?>" data-motopress-type="static" data-motopress-static-file="static/static-nav.php">
                <?php get_template_part("static/static-nav"); ?>
        </div>
</div>

    Any suggestions how to get it to work? It look a fab plugin and just hope I can get it to work.

    Thanks,

    Tom

    You can place the ticker anywhere you want within your theme template files and it should work.

    Are you sure the wrapper-header.php is being used? I’m not seeing any instance of the ticker of the .container div you have wrapped it in (in the page source).

    Are you using a cache plugin? If so be sure to clear your cache.

    Ah you`re right… sorry for wasting your time. There were TWO wrapper-header.php files…

    Thanks for all your help and for the great plugin and support.
