Hello k2,
You are correct, a 30 minute delay would probably be an acceptable amount of time to delay updates, but this functionality is not currently built in to our plugin. We might add this in the future, but it would be low priority for us.
Perhaps you could use another plugin to accomplish what you want? Maybe something like WP Auto Reload Widgets will work for you. I have not used this plugin, but it sounds like it may accomplish what you are trying to do.
Hi Relevad, thanks for the quick response.
I did try that exact plugin you referenced before posting here. On the very first refresh, the ticker disappears. No errors pop up when inspecting the element and it still runs, so I’m not entirely sure why it’s happening. I have a test site up at https://www.hardfought.org/test if you want to take a look. Stock ticker is in the footer, refresh through the auto reload widget is 10 seconds. I also tried this with a couple default themes (twentyfifteen, twentyfourteen, etc) with no other plugins active, same behavior.
Hi again k2,
I have found a potential solution. Looking at your test page, it seems the plugin correctly refreshes our ticker, except for one line of javascript which does not run (ticker fade in on page load). Adding the following CSS will fix it: .stock_ticker {opacity:1 !important;}
We’ll probably put out a real fix for this in the future, but this CSS should solve your problem at present.
Relevad, thank you very much, that did the trick.
