CHUD, so the problem may be there and not with witty. Good luck.
Thanks for the tip, vkaryl, I got McMike’s plug-in working. Too bad the witty wouldn’t work for me, it would have been nice to be able to just plug-and-play rather than having to muck about in mysql. Thanks for the help to Lorelle and F1 too.
Yeah – I couldn’t get witty working either…. not the same probs IIRC, but that was a while back.
Only adding one table’s not bad. And it’s got that nice Manage page control panel – makes adding fun quotes really easy. I did a couple hundred in about half an hour (already in a text file, just copy n paste one at a time….)
I don’t know if this will help, but this theme I have available for download has the call for the witty plugin in place and it works fine in this theme.

Maybe seeing how I set it up will help anyone who is trying to make it work in their own theme of choice.
And I agree- Witty ROCKS!!!
I agree — Witty rocks. I use it in my sidebar not for the quotes that were originally in the witty.txt file but for quotes that someone sent me in a MS Word document. After a little cleanup, the quotes worked fine.
