 * What other quote plugins are people migrating to? All other alternatives appear
   to have been abandoned many years ago; this appears to have been the last one
   standing, and now it’s gone, too….

 * Yes, it’s a crying shame that Quotes Collection appears to have been abandoned
   by its developer. It always had a problem, for years, with being able to show
   the “Previous” “Next” arrows. The developer didn’t seem able to solve it. I really
   wish somebody else would pick it up and fix it, because everything else about
   it is very very nice.
 * I too have noticed that the other quotes plugins are either abandoned or don’t
   measure up. I have started searching for an alternative: text slider plugins 
   that I might be able to use as a quotes collection plugin. I’m currently experimenting
   with this one:
 * [https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/slide-anything/](https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/slide-anything/)
 * It claims to slide anything, including text and html. It seems possible that 
   it can be made to work, but will take a lot of “engineering” at my end to create
   a nice quote format. The one big restriction I do see so far is that, unlike 
   Quotes Collection which adapts to any size of quote, short or long, the slider
   will be confined to a particular size of display, so you can’t put longer quotes
   into it, they won’t show properly. But, you know, desperate, so I’m giving it
   a try.
 * Anyway. A lot of sliders out there, so a lot of experimentation still ahead. 
   Post one if you come up with a good one.

 * You can use any of the many testimonial plugins to do the same thing or similar.
 * But I like this “Quotes Collection” and have updated mine to the author’s Github
   version.

 * Hi. Github is Greek to me. Is there a link somewhere to explain how to make a
   plugin out of the slew of separate files I seem to remember them posting. If 
   it’s more up-to-date than the official download, this is a great idea. Thank 
   you very much for this.
 * In the meantime, I have been toying with the idea of using a slider plugin for
   all my Quotes. The arrows work fine. I’ve got this one in a site in development,
   and it has great possibilities to be used for quotes:
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/slide-anything/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slide-anything/)
 * You can slide TEXT, and the height will vary and fall wherever the text ends,
   as it does with Quotes Collection.
 * If I can get the Github version of Quotes Collection together and working, and
   if the arrows appear, then I’ll stick with my old favorite. If not, I’m going
   to try the slider solution.
