A simple and easy configurable plugin for WordPress that allows you to insert stock ticker with stock price information to posts, pages, widgets or even to template files. Insertion is enabled by shortcode or multi instance widget.

Please note, stock data has been provided by Alpha Vantage which does not support indexes since mid-2020!

Stock Ticker is advanced variation of Stock Quote plugin.

Multisite WordPress is not supported yet

IMPORTANT Stock Ticker does not have own Gutenberg Block, so you can use Shortcode Block or Common Block to insert Stock Ticker within the post/page content.

Disclaimer

All stock data used in Stock Ticker is provided by Alpha Vantage, displayed for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered as investment advise.

Since end of year 2023 AlphaVantage limited Free API tier to 25 requests per day.

Author of the Stock Ticker plugin does not accept liability or responsibility for your use of plugin, including but not limited to trading and investment results. Along to that, author of Stock Ticker plugin can not guarantee that stock prices are always accurate as they are provided by 3rd party service for free.

Features

Set global set of symbols you’ll use site-wide
Configure default set of stock symbols that will be displayed in ticker inserted by empty shortcode
Configure default presence of company as Company Name or as Stock Symbol
Configure colours for unchanged quote, negative and positive changes with colour picker
Disable scrolling ticker and make it static
Define custom names for companies to be used instead of the symbols
Define custom elements as a part of visible value
Optional (BETA) Intraday time series for equity. Known issues because of 15min timeframe: RANGE and VOLUME are wrong. Because indexes does not have VOLUME, so for indexes and currencies TIME_SERIES_DAILY will be used

You can set custom template for visible change value. Default format is %company% %price% %change% %changep%. As a macro keywords you can use:

%exch_symbol% – Symbol with exchange, like NASDAQ:AAPL
%symbol% – Company symbol, like AAPL
%company% – Company name after filtered by custom names, like Apple Inc.
%price% – Price value, like 125.22
%change% – Change value, like -5.53
%changep% – Change percentage, like -4.23%
%ltrade% – Last trade day (like 2020-09-25), which can be followed by the PHP date format to customize date output, separate by pipe character, eg. |l, jS \\of F Y

For feature requests or help send feedback or use official WordPress support forum.

Hall of Fame

Kudos to patchstack and Wordfence Intelligence researchers for early reporting vulnerabilities!

A big thank you goes to @flexer, @khunmax, @k2_1971 and @vijaleshk who do tests with alpha versions of plugin until we finally released v3.0.0. And also important to mention @eigood who pointed me to AlphaVantage.co as a replacement for Google Finance.

\n","installation":"

To install Stock Ticker and make initial setting to work, please follow instructions below

Go to Plugins -> Add New
Search for Stock Ticker plugin
Install and activate Stock Ticker
Get a free API Key from AlphaVantage.co
In WordPress Dashboard go to Settings -> Stock Ticker
Enter to field AlphaVantage.co API Key Alpha Vantage API Key you received in previous step (check this screenshot)
Enter to field All Stock Symbols all stock symbols you’ll use on whole website in various widgets and shortcodes, separated by comma. This field is used to fetch stock data from AlphaVantage.co API by AJAX in background. Because AV have only API to get data for single symbol, that can take a while to get. Please note, for default shortcode symbols there is still have field in Default Settings section of plugin.
Save settings and click button Fetch Stock Data Now! to initially fetch stock data to database and wait for a while until we get all symbols from AlphaVantage.co for the very first time.
Insert shortcode [stock_ticker] to page or post, or Stock Ticker Widget to preferred Widget Area.

\n","faq":"\n

\nHow to know which stock symbols to use?\n\n

You can use standard symbols from stock exchanges supported by AlphaVantage.co.
\nFor example, you can try with AAPL, MSFT, IBM, CSCO, GOOG, YHOO, AMZN (Apple Inc; Microsoft Corporation; International Business Machines Corporation; Cisco Systems, Inc.; Google Inc; Yahoo! Inc; Amazon.com, Inc.)
\nTo check if AlphaVantage.co support your preferred symbol(s), you can use Symbol Search & Test tool on plugin settings page to search for keysords and symbols on AlphaVantage.co directly from your WordPress dashboard.

\nStock Exchange or Symbol I need does not work!\n\n

Try to find correct symbol on AlphaVantage.co by looing for it in Symbol Search & Test tool. Even try alternatives or company name. If that does not help, search Alpha Vantage community forum www.alpha-vantage.community or contact Alpha Vantage support.

\nHow to get Dow Jones Industrial Average or other Indexes?\n\n

Unfortunately, AlphaVantage.co no longer supports indexes (mid-2020). That is why Stock Ticker no longer provide quotes for them.

\nHow to get Crude Oil, Gold and other commodities?\n\n

Unfortunately, AlphaVantage.co does not support commodities (metals, energies, grains, meats, softs). That is why Stock Ticker can’t provide quotes for them.

\nHow to get currency exchange rate?\n\n

Use Currency exchange symbols like EURGBP to get rate of 1 Euro = ? British Pounds
\nPlease note, since mid-2020 AlphaVantage.co does not support anymore format EURGBP=X so use syntax without =X.

\nHow to get proper stock price from proper stock exchange?\n\n

Enter symbol in format EXCHANGE:SYMBOL like LON:LLOY or SYMBOL.EXCHANGE like LLOY.LON for Lloyds Banking Group Plc from London Stock Exchange market.
\nPlease note that AlphaVantage.co does not provide stock data always for all existing stocks.

\nHow to get descriptive title for currency exchange rates?\n\n

Add to Custom Names legend currency exchange symbol w/o =X part, like:

EURGBP;Euro (€) ⇨ British Pound Sterling (£)\n

\nHow to add Stock Ticker to header theme file?\n\n

Add this to your template file (you also can add custom parameters for shortcode):

<?php echo do_shortcode('[stock_ticker]'); ?>\n

\nHow to customize quote output?\n\n

On Settings page for plugin you can set custom Value template. You can use macro keywords %exch_symbol%, %symbol%, %company%, %price%, %volume%, %change%, %changep% and %ltrade% mixed with HTML tags <span>, <em> and/or <strong>.

Default template is %company% %price% %change% %changep% but you can format it like:

<span style=\"color:#333\">%company%</span> <em>%price%</em> <strong>%change%</strong> %changep%\n

\nI set to show `%company%` but symbol is displayed instead\n\n

Please note that Alpha Vantage does not provide company name in retrieved feeds. You’ll need to set company name in Custom Names field on plugin settings page.

\nHow to resolve error `Unfortunately, we could not get stock quotes this time`?\n\n

This can be temporary issue. First try to run Fetch Stock Data Now! on plugin settings page.

If that does not help, next try to increase Fetch Timeout option on general plugin settings and then run Fetch Stock Data Now!.

If you still experiencing issue, please contact us through support forum.

\nCan I get stock data for my custom code?\n\n

Since version 3.1 of Stock Ticker you can get stock data in custom functions. Fore example:

<?php\nif ( class_exists( 'Wpau_Stock_Ticker' ) ) {\n    $stock_data = Wpau_Stock_Ticker::get_stock_from_db( 'AAPL,MSFT' );\n    var_dump( $stock_data );\n}\n?>\n

That will return associated array for requested symbols:

array(2) {\n  [\"AAPL\"]=>\n  array(11) {\n    [\"symbol\"]=>\n    string(4) \"AAPL\"\n    [\"tz\"]=>\n    string(10) \"US/Eastern\"\n    [\"last_refreshed\"]=>\n    string(19) \"2018-09-14 00:00:00\"\n    [\"last_open\"]=>\n    string(8) \"225.7500\"\n    [\"last_high\"]=>\n    string(8) \"226.8400\"\n    [\"last_low\"]=>\n    string(8) \"222.5220\"\n    [\"last_close\"]=>\n    string(8) \"223.8400\"\n    [\"last_volume\"]=>\n    string(8) \"31999289\"\n    [\"change\"]=>\n    string(7) \"-2.5700\"\n    [\"changep\"]=>\n    string(7) \"-1.1351\"\n    [\"range\"]=>\n    string(19) \"222.5220 - 226.8400\"\n  }\n  [\"MSFT\"]=>\n  array(11) {\n    [\"symbol\"]=>\n    string(4) \"MSFT\"\n    [\"tz\"]=>\n    string(10) \"US/Eastern\"\n    [\"last_refreshed\"]=>\n    string(19) \"2018-09-14 00:00:00\"\n    [\"last_open\"]=>\n    string(8) \"113.3600\"\n    [\"last_high\"]=>\n    string(8) \"113.7300\"\n    [\"last_low\"]=>\n    string(8) \"112.4400\"\n    [\"last_close\"]=>\n    string(8) \"113.3700\"\n    [\"last_volume\"]=>\n    string(8) \"19122349\"\n    [\"change\"]=>\n    string(6) \"0.4600\"\n    [\"changep\"]=>\n    string(6) \"0.4074\"\n    [\"range\"]=>\n    string(19) \"112.4400 - 113.7300\"\n  }\n}\n

This a plugin that will take shortcode for track listings and make a ‘Mixed Tape’ or ‘Mix Tape’ by turning the mp3 file links into music players and creating a play list of the tracks. The play list is a second shortcode that can be placed anywhere in the post.
\nThe play list can also show the tracks as a single album by changing the type. This will only show one link to the artist name added to the play list. The play list icon can be changed to show the mixed tape, cd, cd box, head phones or any image. The image should be small enough to fit inside the play list.

There are no admin options for the plugin.

Usage information can be found on the FAQ page and there are examples on the Mixed Tape Test page.

The plugin uses 1PixelOut‘s standalone WordPress MP3 player, but should not conflict with other plugins using the player.

The plugin creates a search link to MusicBrainz music database for the artist of the track.

\n","installation":"

Upload wp-mixed-tape to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

\n","faq":"

What music files does it play?

Currently the track player only allows for MP3 files.

Where should I put the music files?

The track player uses the full url of the music file. If you haven’t created a folder for your audio, create a “audio” folder directly under the blog root and refrence the files from that location.

Can I alter the style of the play list?

Yes. There is a style sheet under the plugin directory. In the future you will be able to enter style and class information for each playlist.

Can I alter the style of the track player?

No. In order for the track to fit in the post text, I reduced the size and look of the player.

How do I add a track?

The track short code is [ track title=”{track title}” artist=”{track artist}” url=”{track url}” alt=”{alt text}” ]

track title is the title for the song. This does not change what is displayed in the mp3 player as the title information is taken from the mp3 file.
track artist is the artist for the song. This does not change what is displayed in the mp3 player as the title information is taken from the mp3 file.
track url is the full url for the song.
alt text is the alternate text shown if the player is not displayed. If left empty, it will show the track title.

How many tracks can I put on the post?

As many as you want. However, a good Mixed Tape is only about 10 tracks.

How do I add the play list?

The play list is created from the mixedtape short tag. You can place it anywhere in the post, but the best place to place it is at the top. The mixedtape shortcode is [ mixedtape title=”{mixed tape title}” style=”{override styles}” class=”{override class}” type=”{play list type}” icon=”{override icon}” cover=”{image url}” artist=”{single album artist name}” ]

mixed tape title is the title for the mixed tape to be shown at the top of the play list
override styles is any extra style attributes to add to the overall play list.
override class is class name given to override play list for class style.
play list type is the type of play list either MIXEDTAPE or SINGLEALBUM. MIXEDTAPE is the default and will list each artist with the song.
override icon is the option to change the icon, choices are TAPE, CD, CDBOX, HEADPHONES.
image url is the url for a custom image to override the icon, ALBUMCOVER must be used as the icon value.
single album artist name is the name of the artist for the SINGLEALBUM type. It is ingored on the MIXEDTAPE or default type.

What is the difference between the types of play lists?

The MIXEDTAPE play list is the default type. It will show each track and the artist, with a link to search on more songs by the artist.
The SINGLEALBUM play list will show each track and then at the end show the artist name and a link to search for more songs by the artist.

How do I change the play list icon?

The icon value can be changed to show different icons, the options are TAPE, CD, CDBOX, HEADPHONES, ALBUMCOVER.

Can I use my own play list icon or image?

Yes. Set the icon value to ALBUMCOVER and then the cover value to the url of your image. You should use an image that is around 60px X 60px.

What is the image next to the artist name?

I added a link on the play list to the MusicBrainz (http://musicbrainz.org/) site that will pull up search results for the artist name. I figured that those listening to the Mixed Tape might want to hear other songs from the artist selected. I also figured it would help out a OpenSource project by sending more people to the site to search for music.

Can I remove the link to MusicBrainz?

The image for the link is part of the style sheet file. You could remove the style sheet class and the image will go away.
