The shortcodes don’t generate any paragraph tag to enclose the quote inside blockquote. Looks like you introduce the p tag for other quotes when you added/edited the quotes. Please check up.

Check the ‘Character Limit’ in widget settings (under ‘Advanced options’). Probably the other two quotes exceed the character limit.

This is fixed in v1.4.3. Here’s the changes if anybody is interested.

It’s not possible with shortcodes as of the current version. You can use the template function quotescollection_quote() if it suits.

Check the value character limit field in the widget options. Check if your other 21 quotes have more characters than the character limit. Empty the character limit field in widget options if you want to show all quotes irrespective of the number of characters.

You can accomplish that by making a little edit to the quotes-collection.php file.

On line 799 of the quotes-collection.php (v1.4.1) you will find the code

$sql .= "ORDER BY quote";

replace it with

$sql .= "ORDER BY author, quote";

Be aware that automatic upgrade of the plugin to newer version will overwrite the old file, so your edits will be lost. You’ll have to re-edit when you upgrade.

Thanks, this issue is fixed in version 1.4.1.

This is solved in version 1.3.8. Anybody still having this issue, please report back.

As for formatting, you can modify or add your own styling to the quotes-collection.css file that comes along with the plugin. https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp is an excellent place to refer if you are not much familiar with CSS.

And, well, if you want to have a random quote from specific set of quotes, I suggest you tag those specific quotes with a keyword and choose that tag to filter. Anyway thanks for your suggestion, I’ll consider adding more ways of filtering quotes.

Thank you Maris! The Lativan translation will be added in the next update.

You can actually do it… the table structure of Quotes Collection plugin is similar to that of Dustin Barnes plugin except that…

* what is ‘quoteID’ field in Barnes plugin is ‘quote_id’ in QC
* there are a few additional fields ’source’, ‘tags’, ‘time_added’, ‘time_updated’
* The table name should be changed from ‘wp_quotes’ to ‘wp_quotescollection’

Just open the quotes-collection.php file and change the value of $quotescollection_admin_userlevel to 10.

The plugin doesn’t disallow any customization. Styling is something that differs from theme to theme, so it’s not dealt with in the plugin. It’s just that.

So, you can put something like the following code in the style.css file of your theme to customize the looks of parent pages and child pages.

.flexipages_widget li { font-weight:bold; } // parent pages
.flexipages_widget li li { font-style:italic; } // child pages

The above code will display the parent page names bold and child pages italized. You can of course, define any styling as you like.

This problem with utf characters is solved in v0.9.4. If you are using a older version of the plugin, please upgrade, deactivate and activate again. Thanks.
