One thing missing from the plugin

    I used to use a plugin called “quotes collection” the sole reason for that, was the ability to click next. Unfortunately the dev on that stopped working on the plugin due to personal reasons, and the userbase (myself included) had nowhere to go.

    Quotes llama offers everything, except for that one crucial feature. You can sort of work around it by having the floating gallery and double click a few times, but it’s not very user-friendly. If that could be static, and with an actual button, that would be a game changer.

    Will it be a possibility in the near future or are there other alternatives out there, where you can generate random text and click next as you please?

    Hi mrtnthmsn,

    Yes, at this time there is no short-code that actually has that function… it would be an good addition for sure, and I’ll add it to the considerations for a future update.

    The widget does provide this function if perhaps it would suffice in the meantime. Thanks for the great suggestion!

    This feature will be included in the next release. It will be a toggle in the options whether to display the next quote link when using the shortcode [quotes-llama].

    @oooorgle That’s amazing!

    If you can make it something like this: https://i.imgur.com/4QViDVO.png
    I would gladly donate a few bucks to you, if possible.

    I also have an additional question. I have a little over 1000 quotes, would it be possible to bulk/quick edit the categories? I fixed it in the JSON file, but would be cool to be able to do it in bulk. 🙂

    Yeah, we should be able to provide some custom text for that link so you can make into whatever you want.

    I will add the category bulk action to the considerations list and it give some thought but it’s not likely to be included in this next update.

    Versions 2.0.3 committed…

    Oh, and I think the closest I could find to what you are looking for was something like:

    Plain Text: next >> or Unicode: next »

    Wow, that was fast!

    I love the detail with custom text, and it works like a charm.

    There’s a few things I would change or add though:

    1. It would be better if you could either decide where the “next” text should be, as it is bouncing around if it’s in the right side, which makes for a worse user experience. Left side or middle would definitely be better, if you can’t give the quotes a fixed width.

    2. I would personally prefer the “next” text to be normal and not cursive.

    3. I would also prefer it without the gray line, as it’s moving around as well. The space between the quote and the next button is good though.

    4. I also found a bug. The quote is one line up, and as soon as you click “next” it drops a line, and stays there.
    You can check the bug on my website, if you can’t recreate it: https://mt91.dk/danish-dilemmas/

    Again, thank you or the quick addition to the plugin – I really appreciate it.

    1. Yeah I will see what I can do for that. Have another bug of the same type. CSS isn’t my best language. Try .quotes-llama-widget-next {text-align: left; font-style: normal;}
    2. Will put this on the considerations list too but use the above in the meantime.
    3. Should be able to add the following to your CSS rules to remove the line .quotes-llama-widget-random hr {display: none;} To do that you can go into your Dashboard–>Appearance–>Customize–>Additional CSS and add that rule.
    4. I’ll figure that out for the next update. Not sure why yet but I see it.

    Thanks for the input on the update!

    p.s. added this to the FAQ too.

    If you don’t mind can you give me some example of what “category” bulk actions you are looking for?

    1 – Delete category

    2 – Rename category

    What else?

    The CSS works like a charm. Would still love the space between the quote and the next button, just without the gray line. Is there a code for that?

    Glad to hear that.

    Delete and rename is literally the only ones I would use, so I don’t know about others that would be useful, sorry.

    Try adding a padding-top or margin-top to the .quotes-llama-widget-next

    .quotes-llama-widget-next {text-align: left; font-style: normal; margin-top: 10px;}

    Been loving the plugin a lot so far, the new “Next” feature is amazing.

    I’m not using it for quotes though, but rather brain breaks in school: https://mt91.dk/hvad-vil-du-helst/

    In that regard it would be nice to be able to change the name of an entire category. For instance a category called “en” to “english”, so all categories with that name change to the new one as well. Would this be possible?

    Yes, I have it on my list of to-do for the plugin. Not sure if it will be in this next update as it’s more of a bug fix update but after that, expect it.

    2.0.5 committed… initial implementation, I’m sure it will need improvements. Do share your thoughts and how does it work?

    Sure!

    I tried the rename and delete feature. Deleting works fine, but I can’t get the rename feature to work, no matter what I do. It just gives me a “Select an existing category to rename.”

    I am on the latest WordPress on Google Chrome.
