Factoid

Factoid allows you to place interesting, amusing and inspiring little random facts and quotes on your WordPress website through both shortcodes (for inserting into posts and pages) and widgets (for inserting into sidebars and other layout elements). Factoid allows you to select the type and category of Factoid you’d like displayed, and also provides a number of display and layout options. Factoids are fetched across the internet from our extensive and constantly growing database.

Install using the WordPress plugin installer. To manually install:

1. Create a folder called ‘factoid’ in the ‘/wp-contents/plugins/’ directory
