Frequently asked questions
Widget: How to make the Quote Title look like a standard Heading in my Widget Area?
If you are using the Easy-Quotes Block as a Widget, try to find out what Header Tag your Theme uses as Widget Title. Usually this should be “h2” or “h3”. In your Widget Block Settings “Title” you can then set that value. Same for the CSS-Class. Under your Easy-Quotes Block Settings “Advanced” you can enter that classname under “Title CSS class(es)”.
Google Fonts: Are the Google Fonts hostet by google or local on your site?
Both: While you’re at the backend of your site, and trying out different Fonts, they’ll get loaded from an external google location. When you’ve found a font that pleases you, and your quote is viewed for the first time on the frontend, the font gets automatically downloaded to a local folder. From this time on, only the local font is in use.
Daily Quotes: How to link a quote to a specific day?
Just change the “Published”-Date of your quote to this time. The quote will then be shown every year at that day. The year won’t matter. (So if you publish a quote on e.g.: 2020-02-29, the quote will pop up every 4 years in a leap year.) If there is no Quote associated with a day, the most recently published one is displayed.
