@CW Sorry, I have no knowledge of DP Widget Plus.

Seems to have a conflict with DP Widget Plus plugin when I try to add as a widget. Get a fatal error: “Call to undefined method QuoteRotator::get_settings() in [the dp widgets php file]“. Any thoughts on how to fix this? [not a php guru]

Update: I edited the PHP file with plain old Windows Notepad instead of Dreamweaver (CS5). Works just fine now. Go figure.

Yes, when I copy the unedited version of the file it works just fine. Even if I just change one character of the “Loading Quotes…” it creates an error and prevent my header from displaying. The only wild card is I am using the HeadWay theme framework. I did use Dreamweaver to edit the PHP; wondering if that could possibly be entering in additional information when the file is saved. Maybe I will try a plain text editor next.

@JD: never encountered this before. I would suspect perhaps a typo when you edited the file. Try reinstalling the unaltered plugin to see if the problem goes away.

Hi. A bit of a problem regarding changing the “Loading Quotes…” tag Hope you can help. I am getting some kind of pushback if I make any change to the text running under the Headway theme framework. Works fine with a plain WP theme. The plugin kills the header graphic, and I get this error message when I go into the Headway Visual Editor:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/85/7158685/html/nasty/wp-content/plugins/flexi-quote-rotator/classes/quote-rotator.class.php:413) in /home/content/85/7158685/html/nasty/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 866

Also, if I deactivate and then reactivate, I get this additional error messaging in the plugin install area:

The plugin generated 1 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

Question: does your plugin write something to another file in the WP file collection?. I am suspecting that it does, and the issue is there is lack of agreement between the plugin PHP file that I edited per your instruction and the WP file that the plugin is talking to. Any ideas?

Please delete my prior post (#418) that is awaiting moderation. Figured it out. User FTP copy error at 2 a.m. Wrong folder. Doh! And tried a bunch of quote rotators…yours is the most flexible.

I tried editing the PHP file per your instructions in #63 (to remove the “Loading Quotes…” message) but it’s still showing up. Opening the file quote-rotator.class.php in Dreamweaver, I note the two lines with “Loading Quotes…” are 327 and 375, not 169 and 189 specified in comment #63. Don’t know if that matters, and I keyword searched all the the PHP files from the plugin folders to find another instance of “Loading Quotes…” and could only find the two that you cited in quote-rotator.class.php. Flushed out the browser cache as well to be sure. Is there perhaps another location where the plugin is pulling the “Loading Quotes…” label? Or did I also checked, and the edited quote-rotator.class.php file that I FTP’d back has my change, but my site is still showing the default text.

@Molly: May just require some CSS styling tweaks. If overflowing the box, check and adjust box size to suit.

@Colin: Follow the troubleshooting steps. Author has id quoteauthor so you can easily style it.

@julian: Not currently but I’m planning on adding this feature in near future as I will need it myself for an upcoming website.

How can I get my quotes to wrap to the next line and stay within my box.

Seems like this plugin fights Widget Logic and/or Display Widget. I need this widget to appear on one page but when I put in the Widget Logic code and press save, the syntax I put in is wiped out. And Display Widget options don’t even come up.

Ideas?

What are the options if the plugin doesn`t actually rotate?

I`m also looking for a way to make the author text colour different than the quote, as it`s being used as a widget with no stylesheet. The quote would stand out much more if there were different colours.

Close but no cigar. Thanks.

We love your plugin as it is easy to use and looks great. So thanks.

We were wondering if you could had a feature to put a quote on hold until you want it displayed again. You can edit a quote and delete a quote but being able to put a individual quote on hold would be good.

For example, we have added some Christmas quotes but don’t want these all year round. We also don’t want to delete them and have to add the same quotes everytime we want them on again.

Found the solution: I did ‘Network deactivate’ and activated the plugin again on each site. Thank you for a nice plugin!

Hello, I can’t get Quote Rotator work in multisite install. It works nice on main site, but I can’t add quotes on subsite admin. I’m using latest versions of everything. Is there still something I should know about this plugin?
