Display a Quote

விளக்கம்

About

With this lightweight plugin you can display a random quote at your website.

To display your quote you can use a block or a shortcode.

You can customize your quote display with attributes.

How to use

After installation go to menu item “Quotes”. You can add your quotes here. The title field should be the quote author.

You can organize your quotes with categories. If you’re not using categories, you can disable the categories column via Settings > Writing.

Add the Display a Quote block or the shortcode [daquote] to a page to display your random quote.

You can customize your quote display with attributes.

It’s also possible to add an image to your quote.

When using the block editor, use the Media & Text block. Or the Image block, if there’s no quote text to be added.

When using the classic editor, add the image with the “Add media” button next to the quote text and align it the way you want.

Attributes

You can customize your quote display by adding attributes to the block or the shortcode.

  • Display quotes from a certain category: quote_cat="your-category-slug"
  • Display quotes from multiple categories: quote_cat="first-category-slug, second-category-slug"
  • Disable quote author: quote_author="false"
  • Change the “no quotes are found” text: no_quotes_text="your text"

Example: [daquote quote_cat="your-category-slug" quote_author="false"]

When using the block, don’t add the main shortcode tag or the brackets.

Example: quote_cat="your-category-slug" quote_author="false"

அடிக்கடி கேட்கப்படும் கேள்விகள்

How do I set plugin language?

The plugin will use the website language, set in Settings > General.

Where is the settings page?

Plugin has no settings page. Use the block or shortcode with attributes to make it work.

Can I import quotes?

You can import quotes from a JSON or XML file. Make sure quote author and quote text are separate items in your file.

  • Install an import plugin that supports custom post types
  • Choose the (custom) post type daquote/quotes
  • Match fields (title = quote author, description = quote text)
  • Run the import

Why is the quote display different between themes?

The plugin uses minimal styling and therefore also depends on the styling of your theme.

How can I change the layout or colors?

You can use page Additional CSS of the Customizer for your custom styling.

Can I use the plugin on a ClassicPress website?

Yes you can! Obviously you cannot use the block, so use the shortcode instead.

Why is there no semantic versioning?

The version number won’t give you info about the type of update (major, minor, patch). You should check the changelog to see whether or not the update is a major or minor one.

How can I make a donation?
