Both reordering and visibility are managed from the News List tab at Administer Site > News Ticker.
Reordering News Items
News items appear in the ticker in the order you define. You can change the order at any time by dragging items in the News List.
- In the News List, locate the drag handle icon (the arrows icon) in the rightmost column of the row you want to move.
- Click and drag the handle up or down to the desired position.
- Release to drop the item in its new position. The order saves automatically.
Tip: The order shown in the admin list is the order items rotate in the ticker. Place your most important or time-sensitive items near the top.
Showing and Hiding a News Item
Each news item has a Visibility setting that controls whether it currently appears in the ticker. You can toggle an item on or off without deleting it.
- Click the name of the item you want to change.
- In the Update News form, find the Visibility field.
- Select On to make the item visible, or Off to hide it.
- Click Save.
Reading the Visibility Indicator in the List
The News List shows a small status icon at the left of each row. The icon reflects the item's current visibility setting, so you can see at a glance which items are live without opening each one.
When to Hide Instead of Delete
Hide an item when you plan to reuse or refer to it later — for example, a seasonal notice that you show each year. Delete an item only when you are certain you no longer need it.
