Add a random quote to any page, post, or widget area with a single shortcode. Pick from 16 layouts, run a fading carousel of your full list, and manage everything from a clean admin that saves as you type.<\/p>\n\n

What you get<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • Two shortcodes: [id_popular_quotes]<\/code> for one random quote and [id_popular_quotes_carousel]<\/code> for a fading slideshow.<\/li>\n
  • 16 layouts: Classic, Modern Blockquote, Minimalist, Vibrant Card, Glassmorphism, Gradient Border, Dark Sleek, Quote Bubble, Elegant Serif, Neon Glow, Paper Note, Brutalist, Typewriter, Floating Shadow, Cyber Punk, Retro Wave.<\/li>\n
  • A default layout you set once in the admin. Any shortcode without a layout<\/code> attribute uses that default.<\/li>\n
  • Two sources: your own manual quotes, or the built-in list of 100 popular quotes.<\/li>\n
  • Auto-saving admin. No Save button, no unsaved state to worry about.<\/li>\n
  • Drag-to-reorder your quotes, edit or delete any of them inline.<\/li>\n
  • Live preview of the active default layout so you always know what visitors see.<\/li>\n
  • No jQuery on the front end. One small CSS file, plus a tiny inline script for the carousel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Shortcode examples<\/h4>\n\n

    Single random quote using the site-wide default layout:\n [id_popular_quotes]<\/p>\n\n

    Pick a specific layout:\n [id_popular_quotes layout=\"neon-glow\"]<\/p>\n\n

    Fading carousel:\n [id_popular_quotes_carousel]<\/p>\n\n

    Carousel with a specific layout and speed (seconds per slide):\n [id_popular_quotes_carousel layout=\"glass\" speed=\"5\"]<\/p>\n\n

    Every layout works for both the single shortcode and the carousel.<\/p>\n\n

    The admin (Quotes Studio)<\/h4>\n\n

    The settings screen lives under ID Quotes<\/strong> in the main WordPress admin menu. It has two tabs:<\/p>\n\n

      \n
    • Quotes.<\/strong> Pick your source (Manual or Universal). In Manual mode, add quotes with a two-field form, edit or delete any card, drag the handle to reorder. In Universal mode, browse the built-in 100 quotes with a live search box.<\/li>\n
    • Layouts.<\/strong> Click any of the 16 preview cards to make it the site-wide default. The status banner at the top and the live preview both update instantly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      Every change on this screen saves automatically. A small toast in the corner confirms each save.<\/p>\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Upload the indesign-random-quotes<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install the zip from the Plugins screen.<\/li>\n
      2. Activate the plugin from the Plugins menu.<\/li>\n
      3. Open ID Quotes<\/strong> in the admin menu to add your own quotes or pick a default layout.<\/li>\n
      4. Drop [id_popular_quotes]<\/code> into any page, post, or shortcode-aware widget.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n

        How do I show a random quote on my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Paste [id_popular_quotes]<\/code> into any page, post, or shortcode-aware widget. Each page load picks a fresh random quote from your active list.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How do I add my own quotes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Open ID Quotes<\/strong> in the admin menu, make sure Manual is selected, and use the \"Add a new quote\" form. Type the quote, type the author, click Add. It appears in the list below as a card.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Do I need to click Save?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. Everything on the settings screen saves automatically as you click, type, edit, or drag. A small toast in the corner confirms each save.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I edit or delete a quote after I added it?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Each quote card has a pencil icon (edit inline) and a trash icon (delete). Both save straight away.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I reorder my quotes?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Grab the six-dot handle on the left of any card and drag it up or down. The new order saves automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How do I set a default design for every shortcode at once?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Open the Layouts<\/strong> tab and click any preview card. That layout becomes the site-wide default, and any shortcode without a layout<\/code> attribute uses it from then on. The status banner at the top of the page updates instantly.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How do I use a specific design in one shortcode?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Add the layout<\/code> attribute with the layout slug, for example [id_popular_quotes layout=\"typewriter\"]<\/code> or [id_popular_quotes_carousel layout=\"cyber-punk\"]<\/code>. Layouts set this way override the site-wide default for that shortcode only.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What is the difference between Manual and Universal mode?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Manual serves only the quotes you add. Universal serves the built-in list of 100 popular quotes. Switch between them at any time by clicking the mode card. Your manual quotes stay saved even when Universal is active.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What happens if Manual mode is on but I have no quotes yet?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        The plugin falls back to the built-in universal list, so visitors never see a blank space.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How do I run a carousel and change the fade speed?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Use [id_popular_quotes_carousel]<\/code> and add speed=\"10\"<\/code> in seconds to control the interval. For example, [id_popular_quotes_carousel layout=\"glass\" speed=\"5\"]<\/code> fades every five seconds.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I put multiple shortcodes on the same page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Each one runs on its own, so different layouts and carousels can coexist on the same page.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Where can I copy the shortcode for a specific layout?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Open the Layouts<\/strong> tab. Each preview card has two ready-to-copy shortcodes: one for the single quote and one for the carousel. Click either to copy.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I search the built-in Universal collection?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. In the admin, switch to Universal mode and use the search box above the list to filter by quote text or author name.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does the plugin work with Elementor, Divi, or other page builders?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. The shortcodes work in any builder that supports shortcodes. In Elementor, use a Shortcode widget or Text Editor. In Divi, use a Code module. In Beaver Builder, use a Text module.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Will it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. The front end loads one small CSS file and adds no JavaScript unless a carousel is on the page. Quotes are stored in a WordPress option, so there are no extra database queries per page load.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        What happens to my quotes if I deactivate the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Your quotes and settings stay in the database, so if you reactivate the plugin later everything is exactly where you left it.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does the plugin use jQuery?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. The admin uses vanilla JavaScript. The front end loads a single small CSS file and only prints a tiny inline script when you use the carousel shortcode.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
