Puting your CCS in the child theme will work fine, but you will need to remember to port it if you ever change themes.

I prefer to put it in “Dashboard/Appearance/Additional CSS”, but if you never change themes it’s a moot point.

I’d add something like:

#w_quotescollection_3 { font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.5px }

Then press the “publish” button.

Before deciding which unit to specify (“px” in my example), I recommend reading:

https://kyleschaeffer.com/development/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs
which explains the alternatives including their relative strengths and weaknesses.

An excerpt: “One problem with the pixel unit is that it does not scale upward for visually-impaired readers or downward to fit mobile devices.”

There are other useful CCS tricks to change the appearance. For instance, a border and a background image for the quotes. See KillerNoms.com for an example.

Good luck!

I have no idea, but I presume there must be a reason. Otherwise, it would have been simpler to have no limit.

I presume it is because you hit the maximum number of refreshes.

Under Quotes Collection / Options / Options you will see:

“Maximum number of iterations for auto-refresh”

Valid values are from 5 to 40.

Adding this css code should work:

.attribution { text-align: right; }

I believe the right place to put it is either in your child theme, or in Appearance/Customize/Additional CSS. Either should work.

I didn’t even notice it until you mentioned it. It’s fixed on my site now.

Exciting news about the pending new version! I look forward to it, and appreciate your efforts. And I totally understand that this is not at the top of your priority list.

I’m not really an expert, and can’t swear this is the best way to do it, but I would go to “Dashboard/Appearance/Additional CSS” and add this:

#w_quotescollection_3 { font-size: 14.5px }

Then press the “publish” button.

But unless you are positive that “px” is the unit you want to use to accomplish your goal, I recommend reading:

“https://kyleschaeffer.com/development/css-font-size-em-vs-px-vs-pt-vs/”

An excerpt: “One problem with the pixel unit is that it does not scale upward for visually-impaired readers or downward to fit mobile devices.”

It explains the alternatives including their relative strengths and weaknesses.

Good luck!

Thanks – it was more of a “nice to have” idea than a real need.

The auto-refresh feature is very slick. The issue is that if auto-refreshing a quote collection containing quotes of very different lengths, a fixed refresh period subjects the viewer to either insufficient time to read long quotes or an unnecessarily long delay after reading short quotes.

Setting a longer refresh period while giving the user a “next” link would have helped, but a better solution would be to have an optional “override” refresh period for each individual quote. Thus one could set the desired default refresh period, but optionally override it to a custom period for an exceptionally long or short quote.

I understand if that would be beyond the scope of this plugin, just tossing it out as an idea.

Thanks for a great plugin!

I noticed the same thing. Oddly, the “Author” field does still allow the <“a”> tag, but seems to escape other tags (e.g. <br>,<p>,<span>).

Would be nice to have access to those tags.

Any chance of this getting some attention?
