Your first question deals with placing the qotd function call inside your theme. If you don't modify your theme, then don't worry about it. You can use the widget to accomplish similar results. The answer to you second question is, No, and Yes. The qotd plug-in does not currently support this functionality. Yes, it could be done, but I do not have time to work on it. You could have any php programmer make the necessary changes to the plug-in. Hope this helps. Coyote Hi Sam,

I've downloaded and activated it and added quotes. However, I have two questions to make this complete: 1. What in the world is this: existing block segment HTML tags that your theme uses to display the desired format 2. I need different quotes for different pages, not just one page showing one quote. For example: Page 1 quote Page 2 quote Page 3 quote Page 4 quote Page 5 quote Page 6 quote etc. Can that be done?

Thanks for finding this bug. I have updated the plug-in and you can download it here.

Please update as follows:

  1. Deactivate the qotd plug-in.
  2. Upload the new plug-in files to the qotd folder (Ensure that you overwrite the original files.)
  3. Re-activate the qotd plug-in.

Once you have the updated plug-in activated, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the qotd settings page.
  2. Select the desired frequency option.
  3. Save the changes.

The bug was due to changing between the hourly and daily frequency. If you had used an hourly frequency, the plug-in would increment the hour of the day in order to keep track. However, when you switched to daily, the hour value was still set to the previous value (eg, 5 o'clock), so the daily rotation would not occur until that hour had expired.

Please let me know if you encounter any further problems.

After running it for a couple of days, set to show a new quote each day, I'm finding that it changes to the new quote in the late afternoon/evening. Is there a way to control it, so that it changes in the early morning each day? thanks, Luann Hi Coyote, I have one more question for you.
