    Hi,

    I need something to do on my page and I need help with that. Maybe there is a plugin, maybe somebody was doing something like that or can tell me how to do that.

    I want to have random quotes (short sentence) on my page, and the most important part, section in Admin so I would be able to add new quotes, edit them and delete.

    So basically one table with id, quote.

    Cool but one think. I need something like category. On one page I will show quotes from this category and on other page from different category.

    Well, unfortunately, I can't help you out here - I do not know a plugin that works like that, sorry.

    I made one that might do what you want. It is called wp-utterquotes. You can read about it on my blog.

    There are dozens and dozens of random quote plugins. I suggest Googling for it and trying some of them, or just looking here:

    jwurster, your quotes plugin is on crack, doing some strange things :)

    like the one version you say is set in options, the menu shows up but the link is to manage/edit-utterquotes.php which doesn't make sense since the o version does not come with an edit file

    and the m version which puts the edit in the manage menu works well but it interferes with other things

    ie hide dashboard will show a manager menu linked to edit-utterquotes, this link tends to appear out of place where it shouldn't

    any ideas ?

    Sorry for not being around in a while. I'll look into this. If I don't reply, please email me.

    I just checked one of my blogs and found that I modified the edit-utterquotes.php file. Near the top of the file, change the require_once to:
    require_once(ABSPATH . '/wp-admin/admin-header.php');
    I will also send those who email me, the "o" Options version from my site that is working.

    I just uploaded a new "o" zip file which has the edit-utterquotes.php file in it. Sorry. If anyone has any trouble with this please email me as I do not visit the support forum as much as I should.

    @jwurster - none of the links for that plugin on your site are working. People can't leave a comment to tell you about this, because there is no way to register and/or login to your site, and you force people to login before leaving a comment... Can't find any email info either. If you could post a working link for this plugin that would be great. Thanks.

    @webDressing - I just tested the download links on my site and they worked for me.

    I had eliminated my contact form and requested users to register to leaves comments because of a lot of comment spam I was getting. I had reinstated the contact form and changed my blog so that anyone can leave comments.

    Let me know if I can be of further help. My email address is jwurster at comcast dot net.
