Hi,
what’s about an update? Is there no support any more for this Plugin?
Would be great to get an update soon, also it should be compatible with PHP 7.
regards
Roland
Hello.
Just noticed the last few quotes I added show empty in the database, and when I try to edit any quote I get “Something is wrong. I can’t find a quote linked up with that ID.”
Tried deleting the empty ones from PHPMyAdmin, and restored a backup previous to those empty values, but the ID error remains.
By the way, the existing quotes still show fine on the website.
Any ideas?
]]>I’m enjoying using stray quotes. Thanks! I find it to be inspirational when I do something with the good ones.
Question about re-directing the plugin to an alternate data source though. I have two WordPress sites up an running. I want to have stray quotes on both, but pulling from the same data source on my server so that I don’t have to enter a good one twice. I’m not a programmer, but I was trying to find the path the plugin spelled out. But, no luck. Any thoughts on how to do this?
]]>Hi, it seems that the author of this plugin is no longer around, so we remaining users are on our own in trying to maintain its functionality…
I use “Stray Random Quotes” for displaying thumbnails of images in the sidebar which are linked to the respective posts, so I store HTML-snippets instead of pure text quotes. This worked well until the update to WordPress 3.6. Since then, quotes are saved with an additional backslash. For example,
… width=”150″ height=”113″ …
becomes
… width=\”150\” height=\”113\” …
when saved. This of course makes the code both invalid and non-functional.
Does anybody see a chance of updating/fixing the plugin so that the quotes character is saved correctly again? Patching the DB with myPHPadmin manually each time I entered a new quote is not really what you would call a comfortable workaround…
Thanks for any help,
Ralph

]]>Now the short code displays instead of activating the plugin. Bummer.
]]>I know there’s little hope for help with a plugin this old, but maybe someone with just a little more knowledge than me can help. Basically, this was working in my multisite environment just fine until I was ready to make the site “live” and used the domain mapping plugin to give it its own domain. Now I get one quote, and then the word “loading” freezes on the screen.
Quite simply, my new domain is trying to access the ajax PHP file at my old domain. I understand the problem, but I don’t know how to fix it. Here is the error message:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://www.vpeglobal.com/snapcrate/wp-content/plugins/stray-quotes/inc/stray_ajax.php. Origin https://www.snapcrates.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
Any ideas?
]]>I’m pretty sure I’m just a dummy (I’m new to this; sorry) but I’m entering the code snippets into specific pages and I can’t seem to get only one category at a time.
I’m typing: [stray-random/categories=”cat1″]
What’s wrong with that?
]]>I have hundreds of quotes, is there any way to add them short of going into the php tables?
Thanks!
]]>I’ve been using an ancient plugin called wp-quotes for many years – going back to WP version 2.0 or something. Tonight I decided to finally upgrade it, as it wasn’t working any more. Figured I was in for a long night of dumping the old quotes table and importing my quotes into Stray Quotes… only to find that as soon as I activated Stray Quotes, it showed 172 active quotes. It was as if Stray Quotes is an upgrade of the ancient WP-Quotes and it came with a built-in migration strategy. So cool. Thanks for saving me an evening!
]]>I’m using WPML to create a multilingual website but am struggling to create translations of the quotes I’ve created in Stray Random Quotes. Has anyone had any success with this?

]]>Just to let the authors (and WordPress) know, I did a search for “stray random quotes” from within two WordPress installations, and “No plugins match your request.” came back as the result. This is obviously happening with more generic quote searches. That is ashamed since this is one of the best quote generators out there and it is being kept up to date. Is anyone else getting that result?
]]>Hi,
I have my site published at https://www.okomeds.com.
I customized my home.php, and the homepage is not well seen with IE (but it is well seen with Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
In home.php, the original code was:
<?php if ( get_option('chameleon_quote') == 'on' ) { ?>
<div id="category-name">
<div id="category-inner">
<?php if ( get_option('chameleon_quote_one') <> '' ) { ?>
<h3>"<?php echo get_option('chameleon_quote_one'); ?>"</h3>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( get_option('chameleon_quote_two') <> '' ) { ?>
<p><?php echo get_option('chameleon_quote_two'); ?></p>
<?php } ?>
</div>
</div> <!-- end .category-name -->
<?php } ?>And now it is:
<?php if ( get_option('chameleon_quote') == 'on' ) { ?>
<div id="quote">
<?php if ( get_option('chameleon_quote_one') <> '' ) { ?>
<h3><?php echo get_option('chameleon_quote_one'); ?></h3>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ( get_option('chameleon_quote_two') <> '' ) { ?>
<?php if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='en'){ ?>
<h5><?php echo do_shortcode('[stray-random categories=eng]'); ?></h5>
<?php } else { ?>
<h5><?php echo do_shortcode('[stray-random categories=esp]'); ?></h5>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
</div> <!-- end #quote -->
<?php } ?>The problem is exactly in line:
Before:
?<p><?php echo get_option('chameleon_quote_two'); ?></p>
Now:
?<p><?php echo do_shortcode('[stray-random categories=eng]'); ?></p>
Only replacing do_shortcode(‘[stray-random categories=eng]’)
Anybody can help me solve this?
Thanks!

]]>I added the first batch of quotes via an admin login. I don’t want my client logging in as admin unless absolutely necessary. Is there a way to change the contributor so they can edit existing quotes?
If it requires making changes directly in the database I can do that. Just want to check in case I break something I may not be aware of.
]]>I am using this plugin for some pull quotes from longer testimonials that appear on a site I’m developing. What I would like to do is to call the widget heading “Client Testimonials” and for that heading to then link to the actual page on the site. If I add the following code to the heading field:
<a href="www.test.com">Heading</a>
and click save it then makes it appear like this:
<a href=\"www.test.com\">Heading</a>
And therefore a broken link.
Is there any way of doing this?

]]>I have a WordPress site that’s using quite a few plugins, and therefore the page load speed isn’t all that great. I’m looking for ways to better this.
Upon looking through the source code of the site, I see that for this plugin..

…is being loaded on all web pages.
I’m only using Stray quotes on the homepage, so I was wondering how I’d go about doing this.
Anyone able to help?
Thanks
]]>Hello,
After upgrading to PHP 5.3 the wp_config.php which is included in the php file taking care of the ajax request, causes a large number of warnings, which are returned to the Quotes widget.
This issue can be easily resolved (although dirty) by adding a @ in front of the include statement in inc/stray_ajax.php:
@include_once($changedDir.'/wp-config.php');
I hope this helps other facing the same issue.

]]>Hello,
I’m using Stray Random Quotes because of its unique flexibility to format the widget output – thanks a lot!
The only thing I don’t like is how long it takes to load the next quote if automatic reloading is enabled. I’m not referring to the (configurable) time a quote is displayed, but to the time between two quotes (where the reload message appears). For example, the Quotes Collection plugin reloads a lot faster.
Is it possible to change this in Stray Random Quotes? Or is it slow for technical reasons that cannot be avoided?
Kind regards,
Joerg
Hi,
For about a year I’ve never been able to get the Ajax refreshing working. The original quote would disappear and never be replaced by anything else. Or, a long string of error messages would appear.
I finally dissected the error messages and realized the problem: The plugin’s Ajax functions are broken if the wp-config.php file is not in the WordPress directory. Of course, WordPress allows this file to be moved up one directory for security purposes. But that breaks the plugin somewhat.
As a test, I moved the file back down to its original place and…voila! Everything worked as expected. But I want to keep that extra (but small) level of security. Is there anything I can do to tweak the plugin and get around this issue?
Thanks,
Mark
]]>Unfortunately, this plugin is useless — I want to give quotes, for example, in traditional Chinese along with the English translation, but all I get instead of Chinese symbols is a bunch of question marks. It would be nice if it was UTF-8 compatible, just like WordPress itself.
]]>Good morning! I absolutely love Stray Quotes, and have a question. I am impressed with the customization function in the plugin, and I’m wondering, is it possible to increase the spacing between lines of the quote text?
For most quotes, when displayed on my sidebar, the lines of text are practically on top of each other, making the quote more difficult to read.
Any advice would be appreciated! ?? Thanks!
]]>I want to do a twist, but i don’t know how!

Someone now how to do this?
