About Automatic Quotes
From the official readme · v2.1Description
This plugin will take quotes from QuotePiper.com and allow you to display them on your blog.
Key Features of this WordPress plugin
-
The plugin automatically picks up the daily quotes from www.quotepiper.com. You need not bother to manually select quotes, it is automatically done from a collection of over 2,00,000 quotations.
-
You can select the exact time of the day when the quotation gets updated. Exactly 24 hours after the widget is installed, the quotes get updated. So let say if you install the widget at 9 am (your local time) the daily quote will get changed every day at 9 am (your local time).
-
The widget is aesthetically designed and in most of the cases can seamlessly match with any website theme designs.
-
The WordPress plugin uses its own cache and therefore does not check for updates for 24 hours after an update is done. This ensures that the loading time of the website is not affected by this plugin.
-
If the quotes plugin fails to find a new quote for any reason, then it will use a fallback quote instead and check again for a new quote in 10 minutes.
-
Please note that the plugin is not supported for versions older than 2.1
-
This is a very simple and light plugin that does not stress the resources of your website with fancy links, colors or photos but is designed smartly to add that touch of elegance to a website.
