 * Hi
 * First, it is an amazing plugin and I would like to thank the developer(s).
 * I am trying to display a specific quote on our home page from a category starting
   from the beginning of the category and then offset 1 more each day so that each
   day has a different post (and one only).
 * Using these magnificent tools, what is the best approach to calculate the offset
   value and pass it on to the loop?

 * Found the answer [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-added-text-to-loop-using-if-and-compare-to-published-date?replies=7).
 * In a nutshell:
 *     ```
       [loop type=post category=special_cat after="251 days ago" count=1 order=ASC]
       [field title]
       [content field=image size=large]
       [/loop]
       ```
   
 * Thank you
