FAQ
-
Does this plugin host information in the local WordPress database?
-
No. Currently the plugin does not host information in the database. We have plans that do so in future versions.
-
Can I add new quotes or remove the ones I don’t like?
-
No. Currently these actions cannot be performed. We have plans that you can customize quotes in future versions.
-
In which languages will the quotes be displayed?
-
The plugin auto-selects the quote set based on your WordPress user locale. Currently supported sets: Latin American Spanish (default and fallback), European Spanish (es_ES), Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR), Italian (it_IT) and original English (en_US). Variants like en_GB or pt_PT fall back to en_US and pt_BR respectively. Locales with no curated set fall back to LATAM Spanish.

Not right now. We have plans to do it in future versions, to obtain updated quotes without the need for changes in the code.
