Use shortcode in top bar for news ticker

[StacieB]

I want to use a news ticker in the top bar. I’ve installed a ticker news plugin and set up my shortcode. So how do I get the shortcode to work in the top bar? Or alternatively, how do I get any news ticker to be placed right where my current top bar is located? Mine is the blue horizontal bar below the post carousel in Ethos stack.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

Since it’s a top bar wrapped in <p></p>, adding another set of HTML may break it (shortcode output), so the good option is the alternative that you’re referring. You can edit this file \framework\legacy\cranium\headers\views\global\_topbar.php and add this code

<?php echo do_shortcode('[your_shortcode]'); ?>

just above this line

<?php if ( x_get_option( 'x_topbar_display' ) == '1' ) : ?>

Just change it with your preferred shortcode.

Thanks!
