FAQ
-
How do I use the plugin?
-
You have two options:
1. Shortcode: Wrap new text with the shortcode:[appzoic_quote]Your text here...[/appzoic_quote].
2. Automatic: The plugin will automatically style any standard<blockquote>HTML tags already in your posts and pages. -
Can I change the style/colors of the quote box?
-
Yes, but it requires custom CSS. The main quote container has the class
.quote-container-appzoic, and the buttons are within.share-buttons-appzoic. You can add your own CSS to your theme’s stylesheet to override the default styles. -
The plugin currently supports sharing for Facebook, WhatsApp, and Telegram.
-
Does the plugin work with the Gutenberg editor?
-
Yes, you can add the shortcode using the “Shortcode” block. The automatic styling will also apply to the native “Quote” block in the editor, as it outputs a standard
<blockquote>tag.
