Hi einradusa,

1. It’s just a simple SQL query. If MySQL has a better way to randomize I’m open to hear it.

SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;

A brief explanation of what it does.

• The function RAND() generates a random value for each row in the table.
• The ORDER BY sorts by the random value.
• The LIMIT 1 selects the first row in the result set sorted randomly.

2. It can be done with the Additional CSS editor. I would think other avenues exist as well but I am not familiar with them.

Hi Simon,
I’ll add the pagination request to the to-do. It would be a nice addition.

The limit of category quotes I don’t have an answer for at the moment. I will need to test out that scenario and see if I can recreate your result. Will let you know asap.

Hi bfgoncalves,
Sorry for so late a response. I will see what I can make of this. I am not able to reproduce it on my side yet.

Have you by chance tested things, like disabling other plugins to see if it may be some conflict with something specific to your environment?

I will continue to try and identify the cause and let you know when I have more information or thoughts on it.

I’ll make note of this and give it some thought. No promises though 😉

Hi Robin,

Yes, good idea! I will add some verbiage regarding the “category” and “id” to make them better understood. It vaguely implies multiple values with “id” but neither is explained. As well, custom text or some form of formatting between quotes is interesting. I’ll add that to the recommendations and certainly give it some more thought..

Formatting such as separators, spacing, casing, colors, fonts are different for everyone so I leave that completely under the users control. I don’t foresee templates for formatting specifically. Themes are what usually set the formatting more than plugins.

Regarding the remap of columns. I refer people to google search that term. There are easy to follow tutorials on how to manipulate column data.

One example using Excel: https://www.excel-easy.com/examples/move-columns.html

Thanks for the input! Here is one brief example of how to customize your own CSS specific to the plugin, or more specifically the CSS element.

Committed 2.2.0 which should address that error with the dynamic property. If you would, let me know if it doesn’t. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

I an glad it is working again. Please let me know if you need any assistance getting the tares repaired.

I put this on the considerations list. We will see 😉
