What is MarqueeX?
MarqueeX is a free WordPress marquee plugin. It adds continuously scrolling content — scrolling text, news tickers, logo carousels, image marquees, post and WooCommerce product sliders, testimonials and team strips — as 8 native Elementor widgets and 5 native blocks for the block editor. The free version has no marquee limit, no watermark and no trial timer. Marquees scroll with CSS keyframes instead of a JavaScript loop, and a page without a marquee loads nothing from MarqueeX. MarqueeX Pro adds scroll interactions, hand-picked posts, advanced queries and extra heading animations.
MarqueeX Features
Everything MarqueeX can do — Pro additions are marked
Scrolling Text Marquee
Announcement bars, promo strips and sale banners that loop forever. Type your own messages or pull live post titles, with full typography control.
News Ticker
A fixed label such as “Breaking” beside continuously scrolling headlines — typed by hand or pulled from your latest posts automatically.
Logo Carousel & Image Marquee
Client logos, partner walls, product strips and galleries in a seamless loop that never stops or jumps, with control over speed, spacing, image height and hover effects.
Post & WooCommerce Product Marquee
Your latest posts, any public custom post type or WooCommerce products as scrolling cards with featured image, category, title, author and date.
Testimonial & Team Marquees
Elementor widgets that scroll customer reviews with avatar, name, role and star rating, or staff photos with name and role.
Animated Headings & Word Roller
Headlines that slide, type or roll through a list of words. Pro adds 8 more heading animations, gradient and image-masked text, and 4 more Word Roller transitions.
Infinite Slider Block
A general-purpose scroller you fill with any blocks you like. Every MarqueeX block works in posts, pages and Full Site Editing templates.
Controls on Every Marquee
Horizontal or vertical scrolling in either direction, adjustable speed, pause on hover, edge fade, typography, colour, spacing and border controls, responsive breakpoints and custom CSS per block.
Lightweight by Design
Marquees scroll with CSS keyframes, each Elementor widget script is under 1 KB, and assets are registered rather than enqueued — so a page without a marquee loads nothing from MarqueeX.
Accessible & Translation-Ready
Respects the visitor’s reduce-motion setting, pauses on hover so moving text can always be read, ships RTL stylesheets for the blocks and is fully translatable.
Scroll Interactions (Pro)
Visitors spin the mouse wheel over a marquee to speed it up or reverse it, or drag it to scrub through, with momentum on release.
Hand-Picked Posts & Advanced Query (Pro)
Choose exactly which posts, pages or products scroll and in what order, and include or exclude them by author and taxonomy term.
Why WordPress Users Choose MarqueeX
What sets MarqueeX apart from other WordPress plugins
Free Without Limits
Unlimited marquees on unlimited pages, all 8 widgets and all 5 blocks, no watermark, and no feature that stops working later.
Elementor and the Block Editor
Native widgets for Elementor 3.5+ (Elementor Pro not needed) and native blocks for Gutenberg. Their styles are scoped, so both can sit on one page.
Loads Only Where It’s Used
Switch off any widget, block or whole builder integration you don’t need and it stops registering.
Pro Never Breaks Free Marquees
Pro adds controls to the marquees you already built. Without an active license, a marquee falls back to its free behaviour — nothing to rebuild.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about MarqueeX
Install MarqueeX, edit a page, and add the Text Marquee block (block editor) or the Text Marquee widget (Elementor). Type your messages, pick a speed and direction, and publish. No code or shortcode is needed.
Add the News Ticker block or Elementor widget. Set the label (for example “Breaking”), then either type your headlines or let it pull the titles of your latest posts automatically.
Use the Image Marquee block or widget. Select your logos from the media library and they scroll in a seamless, never-ending loop. You control the speed, spacing, image height and whether it pauses on hover.
Yes. There is no limit on how many marquees you build, no watermark, and no feature that stops working after a period. Pro adds extra controls; it does not switch the free ones off.
Scroll interactions (mouse wheel and drag-to-scroll), hand-picked posts and the advanced post query, eight extra Animated Heading animations, gradient and image-masked heading text, four extra Word Roller transitions, and the Post Marquee card layout controls.
No. Pro is an add-on that sits alongside the free plugin. Upgrading adds controls to the marquees you already have, and without an active license a marquee falls back to its free behaviour.
Yes — eight native widgets: Image Marquee, Text Marquee, Post Marquee, News Ticker, Animated Heading, Animated Word Roller, Testimonial Marquee and Team Members Marquee. Elementor 3.5 or newer is required; the free version of Elementor is enough.
Yes — five native blocks (Text Marquee, Image Marquee, News Ticker, Post Marquee and Infinite Slider) that work in posts, pages and Full Site Editing templates. You do not need a page builder.
Yes. Products are a public custom post type, so the Post Marquee widget and block both list them as a source, with featured image, title and meta.
Yes. Every marquee can scroll horizontally or vertically, in either direction.
It is built not to. The marquees scroll with CSS keyframes, each Elementor marquee widget script is under 1 KB, and assets are registered rather than enqueued — so a page with no marquee on it loads nothing from MarqueeX.
Marquees respect the visitor’s “reduce motion” setting and can pause on hover, so moving content can always be stopped and read.
