Hi. I think it would be nice like I had said in another post in this forum to introduce smaller image sizes than 696px in the flex block because the homepage size in Pingdom tools shows the images as having the biggest size. Is this possible?
Hello,
For the moment the smallest image size is 696. This is the way our developers implemented the block. There is no simple method to change the image sizes unfortunately as the flex block is a very complex element. If this request becomes more popular we will consider implementing a smaller size. We have to prioritize requests based on popularity as we get lots of requests.
Thank you for your suggestion and thank you for understanding our position.
Okay, thank you. I replicated the crypto news demo homepage on local news demo and was just concerned about page size which was like 4.2mb without caching and 2.5mb after caching. Also, can the news ticker be made to scroll from right to left too?
The News ticker theme element does not have an option to change the scroll direction on automatic mode. It will scroll right to left forward, and left to right backwards (when using the navigation).
Is it possible to introduce the scrolling effect like the one on crypto news demo or will it take too much work? I used PJ News Ticker for a while but removed it for causing conflicts with another plugin.
I really could not say, never tried making modifications to the ticker element. It is quite complex, you can find the file here

Or try a different slider/ticker plugin that already have the options you need and do not cause conflicts.
I would not even touch that code coz I can barely understand it. I got the plugin developer to check on the javascript conflict and he resolved the issue in the PJ News Ticker. Thanks for the assistance though.
