 * Hello,
 * I am interested in using the testimonial for a “quote of the week” box, the only
   change needed is the time with which the quote or testimonial changes, instead
   of a timer=5000 set up, is there a way to find server date and the quote changes
   based on the server date so serverdatetimer=7 where (7) is number of days.
 * I hope this makes sense. I looked at other widgets and I don’t want quotes from
   other companies. I have the ones I want to display. So your tool would be great,
   if I could just figure out the code to use so that after 7 days a new quote of
   the week pops up.

 * Hey Kimberly!
 * The timer on our plugin represents seconds, and applies to the javascript — it’s
   a bit different than what you are looking for.
 * The best way to achieve your goal, with our plugin, is to display a testimonial
   from a specific category (called Quote of the Week) and manually change the quote
   in that category.
 * If you want to pre-load a sequence of quotes, you can make a bunch in this category
   and set their publication dates into the future. This will then have a new Quote
   publish every week, and the most recent quote will be the one displayed in the
   widget.
 * I hope that helps!
 * Best,
    Richard
