Title cannot be hidden

Thanks for contacting me. You just need to uncheck the “Display title” checkbox. If this is disabled and you still see the title let me know and I’ll dig into this further. From my testing and sites I am not seeing an issue with this setting, though.

@metaphorcreations that is what I was trying to communicate, that the title is showing even though the “Display Title” checkbox is unchecked. I just noticed this behavior this week, not sure when it started doing it.

Ok, thanks for confirming. I see that you are adding the ticker through a widget. Please check the widget settings as there is a “Display Ticker Title?” setting within the widget that would override the ticker’s global settings. Make sure that setting is unchecked as well and let me know if you still see the title.

OK, when I remove that setting in the Ditty Ticker widget, the ticker no longer shows up. In other words, not only does the title disappear, but so does the ticker itself. If I reverse that and select the “Display Ticker Title”, the ticker displays, but so does the ticker title.

I just did several tests, and it appears that the ticker title is what determines the size of the ticker when the Global Settings > Ticker Width is set to 0 (zero). According to the tool tip for that setting, zero is supposed to allow the width to be dynamic. Apparently, the title is required to be displayed in my situation. The only way I’ve found to get the ticker to display without a title is to create fixed width in that setting, which negates the advantages of being a responsive design element. I don’t know if you intended for it to work this way or not, but I’d appreciate it if you could look into it some more to allow the flexibility of responsive design.

Thanks for the info. The ticker is setup to be responsive, but it requires the parent container to have some sort of width. The elements the ticker is contained in causes some issues on this.

Please see the following screenshots, instructions and custom css to resolve this below: https://imgur.com/a/K5dY8n2

1. First, remove the set width on the ticker so it is responsive.

2. The widget is contained in an element with a class of .pull-right which is floating it to the right. You need to override this (or remove it somehow) so that parent element is the full width of the column.

3. The widget itself has a display of table-cell which doesn’t give it a width. You need to turn this into a block level element. (I also added a width of 100% in the css below but it’s only necessary depending on the position of other floated elements.)

4. Set a float right to the social widgets, if you want them floated right.

Here is the custom css to make all this happen:

.site-header .logo-row .pull-right { float: none !important; }
#mtphr-dnt-widget-3 { display: block !important; width: 100%; }
#widget-social-icon-box-7 { float: right; }
