It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag/assets/icon.svg?rev=983141) # Hello Simpsons Chalkboard Gag By [Dan Rossiter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/danrossiter/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag.1.4.zip) * [Details](https://ast.wordpress.org/plugins/hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag/#description) * [Reviews](https://ast.wordpress.org/plugins/hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag/#reviews) * [Installation](https://ast.wordpress.org/plugins/hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag/#installation) * [Development](https://ast.wordpress.org/plugins/hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag/) ## Description **A big thanks is owed to [The Simpsons Archive](http://www.snpp.com/guides/chalkboard.openings.html), without which this plugin would not be possible! This plugin was based on the Hello Dolly plugin that most active WordPress users are familiar. Much like the reason why Hello Dolly was created, the Simpsons Chalkboard Gag plugin was designed to bring a little light-hearted fun into every page of the admin panel. As an added bonus, this plugin creates the `[simpsons]` shortcode which can be included on any page or post and, when used, will return a different Bartism each time the page is loaded. _If this plugin brings a smile to your day, please take a moment to [rate it](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag#postform)! ### How The Plugin Stays Up-To-Date As new episodes of The Simpsons are released, more chalkboard gags are avialable. To avoid pushing a new plugin version every week or two, a remote repository is maintained with up-to-date chalkboard gags (within a week or two). If this remote repository is ever down for any reason, the plugin also includes a local database with all of the chalkboard gags up to the most recent release of the plugin. ## Installation 1. Upload `hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Sit back and chuckle at Bart’s wit every time you load an admin page Once installed, you will also be able to use the `[simpsons]` shortcode to include a random Bartism anywhere within any of your pages or posts. **NOTE:** Though this plugin can, in theory, run alongside the **Hello Dolly** plugin that is active by default in WordPress distributions, it is strongly discouraged since the two don’t look nice together. Please disable or uninstall **Hello Dolly** before using this plugin for best results. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9d29abe1679d2a0a177beaced27340d396b8733209d8990c1410d61922cf23bc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Essential](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/essential-233/)󠁿 [Paul](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pmadell/) 11, Marzu de 2020 He funny boy [ Read all 2 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hello-simpsons-chalkboard-gag/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Hello Simpsons Chalkboard Gag” is open source software.
