The algorithm will display quotation for you. If you need algorithm for specific quotation website in your language which is not supported by this plugin – write to me 😉

Upgrading from v1.x? The plugin automatically detects the need of migrating your existing quotes to the new Custom Post Type system.

The migration then processes quotes in batches via AJAX.
