Widget: How to make the Quote Title look like a standard Heading in my Widget Area?

If you are using the Easy-Quotes Block as a Widget, try to find out what Header Tag your Theme uses as Widget Title. Usually this should be “h2” or “h3”. In your Widget Block Settings “Title” you can then set that value.
Same for the CSS-Class. Under your Easy-Quotes Block Settings “Advanced” you can enter that classname under “Title CSS class(es)”.

Google Fonts: Are the Google Fonts hostet by google or local on your site?

Both: While you’re at the backend of your site, and trying out different Fonts, they’ll get loaded from an external google location.
When you’ve found a font that pleases you, and your quote is viewed for the first time on the frontend, the font gets automatically downloaded to a local folder.
From this time on, only the local font is in use.

Daily Quotes: How to link a quote to a specific day?

Just change the “Published”-Date of your quote to this time. The quote will then be shown every year at that day. The year won’t matter.
(So if you publish a quote on e.g.: 2020-02-29, the quote will pop up every 4 years in a leap year.)
If there is no Quote associated with a day, the most recently published one is displayed.

Great plugin

By cueyelink on October 14, 2025

Good plugin, works out of the box and does what it claims.
A welcome addition to the website's functionality.

Finally an Updated Plugin

By MichelleJNorton on December 7, 2023

The shortcode block is broken in WordPress, but this is the only Gutenberg ready solution. It looks nice too. I wish it had a bulk uploader though.

I can't quite give it five stars as it uploads quotes as custom post type instead of it's own table. If this is ever fixed I'll update my review.

Great app, works as needed

By Etienne (etienne01) on October 20, 2023

Great app to use. It is simple and works well. Also useful to rotate quotes automatically and where needed based on a selected category.

Easy to implement and setup in pages and posts with Gutenberg editor.

Ein nützliches Plugin

By caromioben on September 18, 2023

Vielen Dank für das Plugin! Es bietet genau die Funktionen, die wir für unser Projekt benötigen. Eine Frage oder Anregung: Die Einbindung via Shortcode z.B. in der Top Bar wäre noch eine coole Funktion.
