Description

Display a random quote provided by QOTD.org in your sidebar as a widget or in a page/post using a shortcode. For more info:www.qotd.org/wp-plugin.html

The main features:

  • As many widgets as you need
  • Font sizes can be configured
  • Optional automatic rotation of the quotes

  • Shortcodes can be used to add one quote or series of quotes to your posts and pages. The shortcodes come with a set of individual options as well and, if needed, they can be extended to apply everywhere on the blog, allowing random words for the tagline, the category names, the post titles etc.

Installation

  1. Upload the content of wp-random-quote.zip to a dedicated folder in your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin on the \’Plugins\’ page in WordPress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes will be displayed?

The Quotes of the Day database has over 85,000 quotes from over 8,000 authors covering every imaginable subject.

When a quote is added that might be considered offensive, it is flagged as \”inapt\” in the database. The function that selects quotes for use in the plugin randomly chooses quotes less than 150 characters in length that are not flagged.

If you encounter a quote that you deem offensive, please send a message to [email protected] with the text of that quote and the reason you feel it should be flagged if it isn\’t obvious.
