## Description

#### About

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

Main features of the plugin:

 * Free and lightweight
 * Support for Block Editor and Classic Editor
 * Display your random quote with block, shortcode or widget
 * Organize quotes with categories
 * Customize your quote display via the settings page or with attributes
 * Documentation at WP plugin page
 * Active support from developer at WP forum

#### How to use

After installation go to menu item “Quotes” and create some quotes. Use title field
for the quote author and content field for the quote itself.

You can organize your quotes with categories. This makes it possible to display 
multiple blocks, shortcodes or widgets with different kind of quotes.

Go to the editor and add the Display a Quote block or the shortcode `[daquote]` 
to a page. This will display your random quote.

Or go to Appearance > Widgets and use the Display a Quote widget.

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 
the image also contains the quote text.

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.

Customize your quote display via the settings page or with attributes.

#### Settings page

The settings page is located at Settings > Display a Quote.

#### Attributes

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

 * Display quotes from a certain category: `quote_cat="your-category-slug"`
 * Display quotes from multiple categories: `quote_cat="first-category-slug, second-
   category-slug"`
 * Hide 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 or the widget, don’t add the main shortcode tag or the brackets.

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

The “Hide quote author” attribute will override the settings page.

## FAQ

### How do I set plugin language?

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

### 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.

### 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?
