 * I need short code support in the Ticker text, so I modified your code.
 * I added “do_shortcode()” to get_mtphr_dnt_ticker() in functions.php
 * I hope you’ll consider add it into a future update so that I don’t have to keep
   updating it every time you release a new version.

 * You can use one of the built-in filters to add this outside of the plugin (in
   your theme functions.php file or somewhere else that won’t be overwritten by 
   any plugin or theme updates).
 *     ```
       function mtphr_dnt_tick_do_shortcode( $contents ) {
       	return do_shortcode( $contents );
       }
       add_filter( 'mtphr_dnt_tick', 'mtphr_dnt_tick_do_shortcode' );
       ```

 * Just got around to looking at this again. Thanks so much!! I haven’t updated 
   the plugin in months.
