## Description

Shif News Ticker is a lightweight, high-performance ticker solution engineered specifically
to eliminate layout delays and text clipping. Using modern CSS transitions, it renders
a completely smooth, continuous loop even when displaying short content or minimalist
feeds.

#### Key Features

 * **Gapless Infinite Scrolling:** Custom multi-segment tracking prevents broken
   blanks on ultra-wide screens.
 * **Dashboard Control Panel:** Easily configure fonts, colors, speeds, and targets
   directly inside your admin dashboard.
 * **Native Querying:** Fetches post assets directly via highly efficient WP_Query
   loops.
 * **Shortcode-Driven:** Drop `[shif_news_ticker]` inside any page template, theme
   location, or text editor block instantly.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `shif-news-ticker` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, 
    or install directly through the WordPress admin panel.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to the **News Ticker** settings menu to configure your category selection,
    text styles, and scroll speeds.
 4. Add the shortcode `[shif_news_ticker]` to any post, page, or widget template layout.

## FAQ

### Can I use this with any post type?

Version 1.4.1 supports all default WordPress post categories. Expanded custom post
type support will arrive in upcoming releases.

### Does it slow down my site loading speeds?

Not at all. The plugin executes animation functions natively using highly optimized
inline CSS keyframes rather than heavy, bloated external JavaScript tracking scripts.
