I’ve gone through most everything I can think of on the WordPress side, so reading more on SQL I find it also has caching functionality for queries ( https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/query-cache-in-select.html ).

I assume my MySQL has caching disabled and perhaps yours has it enabled, but not finding how to check that on mine yet. I really don’t want to update this without being able to verify but its seems it may be the issue. Perhaps you or mike121212 would be willing to test this? You would need to make a small edit of the quotes-llama.php file.

On line 2539: $sql = "SELECT quote, first_name, last_name, source, img_url
Changed to: $sql = "SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE quote, first_name, last_name, source, img_url

Thanks!

Hi Greenery, I would suggest adding the changes into your themes style.css file. It will overwrite the plugin declarations and retain the changes whenever the plugin is updated. For example these should adjust the sizes for the widgets quote, author and source fields.

.quotes-llama-widget-random {
	font-size: 1.2em;
	font-family: crusoe;
}
.quotes-llama-widget-source {
	font-size: 1.2em;
	font-family: crusoe;
}
.quotes-llama-widget-author {
	font-size: 1.2em;
	font-family: crusoe;
}

Let me know how it works out for you? Thanks!

I will install Gator Cache and see what results I get. Looking at your page, have you updated the plugin to version 0.7? If you are providing an ID then it will display that quote every time. If you want it to auto-refresh use [quotes-llama mode="auto"]. If it works we should see it rotate the quotes.

Are you using a page-cache plugin?

Hi soheilshadi, I know you probably thought I’d forgotten this and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re not using my plugin at all but I thought I would try to FYI you that it now (v0.7) supports your request for multiple quotes on a page. Hope this still helps you out, take care.

I was thinking since the gallery re-positions the quote as well as constricting the size, and being intended for large screens (like a screensaver), that perhaps it would better fit your request to not have it do either of those actions, but still refresh the quote. This would do away with a need to adjust the margin-bottom too.

So, I am adding another short-code [quotes-llama mode='auto'] that will auto-refresh the default [quote-llama].

Have a look at my test page to see an example comparing gallery and default vs. auto. Still working to get an update perhaps this weekend now. 🙂

Hmm, I’ve no idea if imember360 would be the cause or how it interacts with WordPress. I wonder, have you tried seeing what the widget looks like or perhaps the gallery or page modes? In your widgets you should see a “quotes llama” widget you can drag to your sidebar/footer etc which has it’s own options.

FYI, I’ve made some significant progress on this and have only a few bugs left to work out. Example here: http://oooorgle.com/test

I also reduced the sizing on the gallery to better adjust to smaller areas.
