About Quote Share Box

From the official readme · v1.1.0

Description

Easily display inspiring quotes, testimonials, or important text snippets on your WordPress site with the Quote Share Box plugin. This lightweight plugin provides a simple shortcode to wrap your content, and it will also automatically style standard HTML <blockquote> tags with a professionally styled design. It encourages user engagement by allowing them to easily copy the quote and share it on popular social platforms.

Shortcode also available: [appzoic_quote]Your quote here[/appzoic_quote]

Transform how quotes appear on your WordPress site. The Quote Share Box plugin offers two powerful ways to display beautiful quotes:

  1. Simple Shortcode: Use the easy [appzoic_quote] shortcode to wrap any text and instantly turn it into a styled, shareable quote.
  2. Automatic Styling: The plugin will automatically find any standard <blockquote> HTML tags in your content and style them using the same beautiful design, without you needing to change any existing content.

Key Features:

  • Dual Functionality: Style quotes using a shortcode for new content and automatically style existing <blockquote> tags site-wide.
  • Copy to Clipboard: Users can copy the quote text to their clipboard with a single click.
  • Social Sharing: One-click sharing buttons for Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram help your content go viral.
  • Clean & Responsive Design: Modern design that looks great on all devices, whether from the shortcode or automatic styling.
  • Lightweight & Fast: Efficient code ensures your site’s performance remains snappy.

Shortcode also available: [appzoic_quote]Your quote here[/appzoic_quote]

Installation

  1. Upload the quote-share-box folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. For new quotes, use the shortcode [appzoic_quote]Your inspirational quote goes here![/appzoic_quote] in your posts, pages, or widgets.
  4. Any existing <blockquote> elements in your content will be styled automatically upon activation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use the plugin?

You have two options: 1. Shortcode: Wrap new text with the shortcode: [appzoic_quote]Your text here...[/appzoic_quote]. 2. Automatic: The plugin will automatically style any standard HTML tags already in your posts and pages.

Can I change the style/colors of the quote box?

Yes, but it requires custom CSS. The main quote container has the class .quote-container-appzoic, and the buttons are within .share-buttons-appzoic. You can add your own CSS to your theme’s stylesheet to override the default styles.

Which social networks are supported?

The plugin currently supports sharing for Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.

Does the plugin work with the Gutenberg editor?

Yes, you can add the shortcode using the “Shortcode” block. The automatic styling will also apply to the native “Quote” block in the editor, as it outputs a standard tag.
