I wrote this plugin for myself and thought I would share it. I have had a request to make this work as a K2 Sidebar Module. I am working on this and will post updates here.

    Thanks for writing, I really enjoyed your newest post. I think you should post more frequently, you obviously have talent for blogging!

  2. Hi Luke,
    Thank you for creating the Testimonial rotator. Only comment I have is to make it a fixed height. The resizing when a new quote is loaded causes some style issues.

    Otherwise very nice.

  3. Danke werde diesen rotator demnächst im Shop einbauen. Sehr schön.

  4. pandora says:

    Works like a charme. But I would have prefered a fixed height aswell. Kind a messy the way it is handled now, especially in IE6.

    Trying to get this to work in WP 2.8 but quotes are not appearing. On page refresh I get a “Loading Quotes…” message then nothing after. Any help is appreciated. Thanks…

    My email has been provided

  8. kane says:

    Also having problem with WP2.8. It worked great until I upgraded WP, now no quotes load. Any ideas?

  9. Nate says:

    I love your rotator! I have used it on one of my older sites, but when I tried to install it on my new blog (WP 2.8) it no longer works. Do you plan to update it soon? I am desperate to get it back again!

    Thanks,
    Nate

    Having a couple of issues now in WP 2.8 aswell … sigh. Any update anytime soon?

  11. Mike D says:

    Initially had problems with WP 2.8 and this plugin. Appears to be a problem with the prototype / effect library support.

    In quote-rotator.class.php -> function addHeaderContent(): Removing the script calls to prototype, scriptaculous and effect.js files, as well as the six lines with style.opacity, style.filter and Effect.appear fixes the problem.

    jQuery fadeTo may restore fade-in functionality.

  12. kane says:

    how would you use jQuery fadeTo?

  13. Arthur says:

    Agree with Christopher Browning on the height issue. Otherwise, it’s great.

  14. John says:

    Is there a way to change the colour of the quotes? So that they conform with my stylesheet?

  15. Kevin says:

    OK I’ve the plugin downloaded and activated – Is there code that I put in my sidebar to tell the page where to display the quote – I can’t find it

    John: Grab the FireFox “Firebug” extension and examine the quote to see from what css class they’re getting their information.

  20. Ian says:

    I am running WordPress 2.8.3 and have installed the Quote rotator but do not see a management option in the admin interface. Where can I manage the quotes?

  21. John says:

    I get a ‘You don’t have sufficient permissions to access this page.’ error when I try and edit a quote.

    @Ian, it’s under the menu where you add and edit posts, should be another option there ‘Quotes’.

  22. Joe Marthaller says:

    Where does the font color come from? Can I edit this?

  23. Arnt Eriksen says:

    Hi. Really like your quote rotator plug-in. Have a question. I want to rotate a quote for each day – and I have put in 86400 sec delay, which is 24 hours, but it doesn’t seem to work. Is there some way to make it change quote each 24 hours some other way? thanks

  24. zarela says:

    Cannot edit my quotes. Is there something I can do to fix this?

    I love quotes and I love bein able to have them on my site.Thanks.

  25. Curtis says:

    I’m running WP 2.8 with the Altuahapa theme. Quote rotator Widget shows “Loading Quotes…” on the live page, but they never load??? What is the fix?

  26. Hi and thanks for the awesome artical

  27. Photographer says:

    I’m also experiencing problems with 2.8. We were using the Altuahapa theme but have changed to a newer theme and still no joy. I’ll watch for an update.

  28. thanks for this plugin, I have a customer who want this feature. and thanks @John for the info on where to modify the quotes in version 2.8!
    I installed this way back on version 2.5 and the admin pages were not the same.

  29. I would be installing this on my 2.8. Like this plug-in

  30. Fredrik says:

    Hello! Thanks for the plug in, I really like it. But is it possible to add a feature to have one quote per day, if one does not wish to have them rotating as fast?

  31. Jon Yates says:

    Brilliant plugin – however one slight issue for me. Namely I have quotes of varying length and if I put the plugin high up on the sidebar widgets then as it changes, it pushes the other items down or up depending on the quote length. How can I make the widget box a certain depth to ensure that the styling of the page remains constant?

    see http://www.freesources.co.uk

    widget is currently last on the RHS

    Cheers

    Jonathan

  32. Thank for plugin but you have updated version?

  33. matt says:

    I’m missing something – I can’t find the area to add quotes. The docs say to go to the “Manage” section on the Admin page, but I don’t have a “Manage” section in WP 2.8.5. I can set switch and fade time and such from the Widget settings, but that’s it…

  34. Luke says:

    I didn’t update the instructions with the new layout of WordPress admin pages. There is a link under the “posts” section of the admin page now. sorry.

  35. Julie says:

    The Quotes are all coming out all-caps – is there a way to change this?
    Thanks!
    Julie

  36. DirkO says:

    If you plan to update your great plugin, I’d like to contribute a little modification for better CSS-styling and the possibility to have links within the quote-text or quote-author without destroying the javascript functionality.
    The following code change in file: quote-rotator.class.php, Lines 106 – 112:

    foreach($results as $result){
    echo "'$result->quote";
    if($result->author != '')
    echo "» $result->author";
    echo '\','."\n";
    $i++;
    }

  37. DirkO says:

    oh oh, Luke … your “code”-tag of the comment-box destroys the code, don’t use the above, it’s incomplete. I’ll mail it to you.

  38. tina says:

    I’d like to use the quote rotator in more than one sidebar but after putting it in one sidebar then selecting a different sidebar the Add button next to Quotes doesn’t appear. Any suggestions on how to do what I want?

  39. Mili says:

    Hello! I used your plugin, activated, written a text like quote, but it doesn`t work.
    What`s the problem? Is the text too long?
    “Revista Forumul Judecatorilor va adreseaza invitatia de a participa la conferinta ‘Libertatea de exprimare a magistratilor. Limite si vulnerabilitati’ ce va avea loc in Aula Institutului National al Magistraturii, Bucuresti, bd. Regina Elisabeta nr. 53, sector 5 – luni, 30 noiembrie 2009, orele 15.00″
    Tnx

  40. hey just downloaded your quote rotator and thanks for making it. it made my blog a little more interesting for my visitors. I hope it will make my customer and visitor experience a little more enjoyable

  41. Uwe says:

    Hi,

    thanks for the great plugin. Just like some others, I ran into a problem, however…
    The plugin is part of a WordPress 2.8.5 install in the Atahualpa-Theme – worked wonderfully, and fairly suddenly, for no recognizable reason, it just stopped doing so :-(
    It say “Loading quotes” – then nothing. It does not show any quote. Can’t do anything about it: Tried putting it into another place, deactivated / activated it, re-installed – nothing. I desperately want to have it up and running again – any ideas?

    Uwe

  42. Dean says:

    Can you recommend another similar plug in, it’s just not working — thanks…

  43. Smarty says:

    Uwe – same thing happened to me! Was working fine, then suddenly not showing the quotes just “Loading Quotes” then nothing but a blank spot. :( Bummer. Now I’m on a new quest to find a new quote rotator plugin that works.

  44. Jeff says:

    Great plugin, Luke! doesn’t play nice with featured content gallery though – blanks the content gallery. wp 2.8.5, fcg 3.2.0

  45. fifilaroach says:

    hi. i don’t understand where exactly to put the quotes. can someone help me?

  46. Hi Luke,

    Great idea. Are you going to update the plugin for latest wp version? Also as already noted it has some problems with other gallery plugin. If you update this to latest plugin that is great…

    Thanks!

  47. drew says:

    hi

  48. McFly says:
