  1. Upload wp-blockquote-shortcode folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

  3. Drag and drop the bookmarklet displayed on the setting page onto the bookmark bar of the browser.

How to use Bookmarklet

  1. Open a web page that contains the text you want to quote in a separate tab or window from the WordPress article creation screen.
  2. Select the statement you want to quote by dragging it and do not need to copy it.
  3. With the sentence you want to quote selected, click on the bookmarklet to execute it.
  4. A short code is generated in the displayed dialog box This will be a short code to display the quotation, so copy it and paste it into a WordPress article.

インストール

  2. WordPressのプラグインメニューからプラグインを有効化します。
  3. WP Blockquote の設定ページにあるブックマークレットを、お使いのブラウザのブックマークバーにドラッグ&ドロップで登録します。

ブックマークレットの使い方

  1. WordPressの記事作成画面とは別タブか別ウインドウで、引用したい文が掲載されているWebページを開きます。
  2. 引用したい文をドラッグして選択します。コピーは不要です。
  3. 引用したい文が選択された状態で、ブックマークレットをクリックして実行します。
  4. 表示されるダイアログボックス内に、ショートコードが生成されます。これが引用文を表示するためのショートコードとなりますので、それをコピーしてWordPressの記事にペーストします。
