Hello, I’d like to add a custom stock ticker to my secondary menu the way it looks on http://erinenergy.com/. How do i go about that?
Hi pidaine,
You would have to use a third party plugin for that, maybe something like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/stock-ticker/. You can then add a widget to your header: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/adding-a-widget-area-to-the-header/, and add the ticker in there.

Hi Rikard,
I followed the instructions in the link but it didn’t work for me. I added the code to the functions.php file and I tried creating a header widget then added stock ticker to it. But there has been no change.
Hi,
Please send us a temporary admin login so that we can have a closer look. You can post the details in the Private Content section of your reply.

Hi Rikard,
The code finally worked. Thanks! However, I need the stock ticker to look exactly like the one on erinenergy.com but i can’t seem to figure it out.
Hi,
Please try adding this code to the Quick CSS section under Enfold > General Styling or to your child themes style.css file and adjust the color values or add more css properties.
ul.stock_ticker li.minus .sqitem, ul.stock_ticker li.minus .sqitem:hover {
background: gold;
}
ul.stock_ticker li.plus .sqitem, ul.stock_ticker li.plus .sqitem:hover {
background: #CCC;
}
Unfortunately it would require quite some time to customize a third party plugin to achieve exactly the same as the example, so I am sorry to tell you that this is not covered by our support. However if its really important for you to get this done, you can always hire a freelancer to do the job for you :)
Best regards,
