 * First off, great plugin. Works great and I like the look n’ feel.
 * I saw from an earlier reply that this plugin will not update itself ‘to prevent
   an idle connection making tons of requests’. One particular application I am 
   using this plugin for is a static display that has little to no human interaction
   for days or even weeks on end. Would it be possible to work in a setting that
   allows the plugin to auto refresh itself, say once every 30 minutes or so? That
   should be a long enough interval to not hammer the source with too many requests.

 * 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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/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](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.
