Hi Aidan,
This is a great product. Is there a way to put it on different pages so 4 quotes show up on one page, and 4 different quotes on another page?

Thanks Aidan – that does the trick. Handy plugin.

@Chris: You’ll have to go in to your database (using PhpMyAdmin) and delete the quotes table.

Hi Aidan,
How can I revert back to a fresh install? I tried deleting and reinstalling but it remembered all the quotes. I need to get rid of all the quotes. Please advise. Thanks.

Hi Aidan,

If I uninstall the plugin the hash sign disappears. Please advice.

Thanks

@joseph: this plugin should not add hash to url

Hi Aidan,

May I ask why is this plugin adding a hash sign(#) at the end of my url’s.

@Garrett: I guess is_page may not be available at that stage in code loading, so that solution probably won’t work. I don’t have any other solutions in mind at the moment, sorry.

Yes, the page id is correct. Here is a link:
http://www.garrettsbridges.com/store

This is copy and paste what I changed:

if( is_page(786)) {
add_action(‘wp_head’, array(&$quoteRotator, ‘addHeaderContent’));
}

I appreciate your time looking into this. One thing I was reading about the is_page tag on WordPress.org is this:
“Warning: You can only use conditional query tags after the init action hook in WordPress. For themes, this means the conditional tag will never work properly if you are using it in the body of functions.php, i.e. outside of a function.”

I don’t understand this, and perhaps this is part of the issue? Although I don’t think so because you have an add_action on line 101 which has the init hook.

Have you got the correct page id in the if statement? The 20 in my reply is just for example. If you give me a link to the page I can have a look.

Aidan, thanks for the response. Unfortunately it isn’t working quite right. When I wrap that action on line 102 in the conditional tag, what displays is “Loading Quotes” and not any of the quotes. None of the quotes are loaded in the source file either, so the script isn’t being loaded.

I’ve double checked that I typed everything correctly, the page id is correct, etc.

@Garrett: Not currently in the settings but if you are comfortable editing php files, you could edit the plugin code and add a little hack to do this. Line 102 in flexi-quote-rotator.php is what adds the quotes to the header. add_action(‘wp_head’, array(&$quoteRotator, ‘addHeaderContent’));
You could wrap that in a conditional statement that only executes it on a certain page or pages. e.g.:
if (is_page(20)) {
add_action…
}

This is a great plugin.

However, I have one question. Currently all my quotes are loaded in the header of every page, while I only want to display the quotes on one page. Is there a way to make the script only load on one page? That would decrease the load times for my other pages.

@Colin: try using fractions of a second, e.g. 0.5

is there any way to set the fade-in to milliseconds instead of seconds? the fade is just too slow for me. also, what about implementing other effects other than fade?

Hi Beth,
Have you tried to reinstall the plugin after moving serers?

By: Beth Bates

Beth Bates — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 15:36:20 +0000

Hi Aidan -

I am having a similar problem to #95. I moved my WordPress install to a new Unix server. Now, when I add a quote, it appears to not be saving (the screen just refreshes with a new quote box). However, after reading #98, I checked the database and the quotes are being saved (ie. there is an author field and the quotes are there). Within the WP dashboard, it doesn’t show the quotes and the widget says “No Quotes”. Everything works on the old Windows server. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Beth

I think I know what’s causing the problem and just need to remove that first quote from the database. can you tell me what table the quotes are stored in?

By: CG

CG — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:35:18 +0000

I installed this and was going along great, but when I tried to edit my first quote “ID=1″ I must have broken it. I can see most of the quote/text but I can’t edit or delete it. The edit and delete buttons have disappeared, but just for the first quote.

I tried to uninstall and then reinstall, but that first quote won’t go away and I can’t edit it.

Any ideas how I can edit that first quote, or delete the plugin and start over?

Thanks!
