D11 Random Quote Loader adds a classic WordPress widget that pulls a random quote from a custom database table each time a page loads.
Quotes are managed entirely from within your WordPress dashboard, and the plugin ships with three sample quotes so it works immediately after activation.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Displays a random quote on every page load using an efficient COUNT + OFFSET strategy (not ORDER BY RAND())</li>
<li>Full admin panel — add, edit, and delete quotes without touching code</li>
<li>CSV Export — download all your quotes as a spreadsheet-compatible .csv file</li>
<li>CSV Import — bulk-upload quotes with automatic encoding detection (UTF-8 and Windows-1252 / Excel), BOM stripping, per-row validation, and a 5,000-row safety limit</li>
<li>Clean, semantic HTML output using blockquote, p, and cite elements — easy to style with your theme’s CSS</li>
<li>Fully internationalised — every string is ready for translation via the d11-random-quote-loader text domain</li>
<li>Safe uninstall — drops the custom table only when the plugin’s own signature column is detected</li>
<li>Security hardened — nonces on every form, current_user_can() capability checks, full output escaping, and wp_rand() throughout</li>
<li>[d11rql_random_quote] shortcode — insert a random quote into any post, page, or text widget</li>
<li>Quote categories — tag quotes and display different sets on different pages or sidebars</li>
</ul>
