## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Pro** — The Advanced Typography widget needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. In the free plugin it shows in the Elementor panel with a lock icon.- **Widget to enable:** Advanced Typography, switched on under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**.

## Steps

- Add the Advanced Typography widget, keep **Select Option** on **Normal** and type your text.- Open **Content > Marquee** and turn on **Enable/Disable**.- Choose the **Type**: **Default** or **On Transition** (see below).- Set the **Direction**. For left-to-right motion, choose **Right**.- Adjust the speed settings and the **Width**, then publish.

## Default or On Transition

| Setting | Default | On Transition |
| ------- | ------- | ------------- |
| How it moves | The HTML `<marquee>` element | A CSS animation |
| Direction | Left, Right, Up, Down | Left, Right, Up, Down |
| Behavior | Scroll (default), Slide, Alternate | Not available |
| Loop | Number of loops, default -1 | Not available; the animation repeats |
| Speed | The marquee scroll amount, default 6 | Not available |
| Animation Duration | Delay between steps, default 85 | Seconds for one pass. Empty uses the built-in speed (Left and Right 8 s, Up 2 s, Down 3 s) |
| Width | Width of the marquee area | Width of the text area |

`<marquee>` is an obsolete HTML element that browsers still support. If you prefer standard markup, use **On Transition**.

## How It Behaves

- With **Direction** set to Right, the text moves from left to right. Left moves it the other way.- In **Multiple** mode, each item has its own Marquee settings, so only part of the text can move.

## Limitations

- **Marquee text can't be a link.** With Marquee on, the **Advanced Options > Link** is not added to the page.

## Troubleshooting

### The text doesn't move

Check that **Enable/Disable** is on, then test on the published page or the preview.
