Description
Quote This is yet another quote plugin. It has been a script I’ve used on my personal blog for a few years that I figured I’d share with the rest of the WordPress community.
Basically, it lets you show quotations on your blog in one of three ways:
quote_this()
template tag for your theme template files.[quote-this]
shortcode for adding it to your posts and pages.- Quote This widget for use in widget areas.
Installation
- Uzip the
quote-this.zip
folder. - Upload the
quote-this
folder to your/wp-content/plugins
directory. - In your WordPress dashboard, head over to the Plugins section.
- Activate Quote This.
More detailed instructions are included in the plugin’s readme.html
file.
