How to use the other language files with Quotes and Tips?
Here is an example for the German language files.
In order to use another language for WordPress it is necessary to switch the WP version to the required language and in the configuration wp file - `wp-config.php` in the line `define('WPLANG', '');` type `define('WPLANG', 'de_DE');`. If everything is done properly the admin panel will be in German.
Make sure that the the files `de_DE.po` and `de_DE.mo` are present in the plugin (in the languages folder which is in the root of the plugin).
If there are no such files you should copy the other files from this folder (for example, for the Russian or Italian language) and rename them (you should write `de_DE` instead of `ru_RU` in both files).
You can edit the files using the program Poedit - http://www.poedit.net/download.php - please download this program, install it, open the file with this program (the necessary language file) and for each line in English add translation in German.
If everything is done properly all lines will be in German in the admin panel and in the front-end.

I Find your plugin extremely useful. Do you by any chance intend to upgrade your plugin so that it would support HTML tags?
I wish to insert links into my tips & quotes and it would be great to do that by using your plugin.
For now, the function strip_tags is set up when outputting text in this block in the plugin, this function deletes all tags in order to avoid the distortion of html in this block but you can delete it – please open the file quotes-and-tips.php and find the lines 187:
< ?php echo strip_tags(get_the_content()); ?>
and 209:
"< ?php echo strip_tags(get_the_content()); ?>"
Please delete strip_tags( and closing bracket in both lines. You should get the following.
For 187:
< ?php echo get_the_content(); ?>
and for 209:
"< ?php echo get_the_content(); ?>"
Can this be used in a sidebar? I can’t seem to ge it to show the quotes
it is necessary to add the following code to the template in order to see the block Quotes and Tips on the website
< ?php if( function_exists('qtsndtps_get_random_tip_quote' ) ) qtsndtps_get_random_tip_quote();
?>
I like the plugin, but I don’t want both the tip and the quote to show; I just want the quote. How do, or can I, get this to work without the division
Hello,
The plugin envisages the displaying only the two together. I you want to display something one, must edit the plugin code.
Kind regards.
Hey, love your plugin so far ^^. Just got a small question, is it/how is it possible to set an image per quote?
Hello Floyd,
You can implement only text there. But you can edit a plugin code and add images to content, so that it will be displayed in the block quote.
Kind regards
Is it possible to assign tips & quotes to a specific post? Meaning, I wish certain tips to be shown in a specific post and others in another post. Is it possible?
Hello Yaron,
Do you want that some certain tips will appeared on a page of certain post? And other tips will always appeared on the other post page?
Kind regards
I want to attach certain tips to specific post… Meaning, some tips will only appear in post 1 and some other tips will appear in post 2.. .
Hello Yaron,
Unfortunately, this opportunity doesn’t exist.
Kind regards
