 * Desktop:
 * “Pause the ticker on mouse over” is checked.
 * But the ticker only pauses in the admin preview. Not on the website.
 * What am I missing?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdoesnt-pause-on-hover%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Thanks for contacting me. I’m not sure why this is happening. Before looking 
   at your site I was thinking another transparent element may be layered over the
   top of it, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I’m not able to replicate this
   issue in my testing either.
 * Can you confirm that the Ditty/Displays settings are saved with “Pause the ticker
   on mouse over” checked?
 * What version of Ditty are you using?

 * Hi, thanks for replying!
 * Ditty – Version 3.1.18
 * Under DISPLAY, GENERAL, “Pause the ticker on mouse over” is indeed checked, yes.
 * I also created a display Template and use that in the Settings but that isn’t
   changing anything.
 * Thanks for your help, I need it. 🙂

 * Thanks for the info. Could you run through the following document to see if there
   are any potential conflicts on your site? [https://www.metaphorcreations.com/article/general/plugins/test-plugin-conflicts/](https://www.metaphorcreations.com/article/general/plugins/test-plugin-conflicts/)
 * Also, could you try add the Ditty directly to a basic sample page with a shortcode
   to see if anything acts differently?

 * More more thing you can try. De-select the hover checkbox and save your Ditty.
   Then select it again and Save.

 * Deselecting and saving and reselecting and saving does nothing to permit pause
   on hover. Will look at the other link you shared.
 * Thank you!

 * Ok, thanks for the update. Did you get a chance to try running the Ditty through
   a shortcode added to a page (not in the header)?

 * Actually, I added the ticker via a widget in the header. But just now I went 
   to look and saw this option as well: ” Select a custom display to use with the
   Ditty.” So I selected a template I had saved and now it’s working.
 * Thank you for your help!
 * Incidentally, do you have anything in your products that could help with custom
   post types categories? I don’t seem to be able to display a list of posts connected
   to these categories. Only the Articles (regular posts) offer a list of posts,
   all the rest show an error message saying there’s is nothing to show.
 * Just thought I’d ask.
 * Cheers!

 * Good to hear, thanks for letting me know! I’ll have to do some more digging to
   see if I can replicate the issue with custom display settings.
 * The Ditty Posts extension would allow you to display posts from custom post types
   and filtered by custom taxonomies: [https://www.metaphorcreations.com/wordpress-plugins/ditty-posts/](https://www.metaphorcreations.com/wordpress-plugins/ditty-posts/)
   by using the built-in taxonomy settings.
 * If you decide to purchase and have any questions, please feel free to contact
   me (there’s a support forum for paid products on metaphorcreations.com).
