Hi Patrick,
you would need to modify the theme files for that. I think the easiest way would be to use the template function of the plugin to display the quotes:
1. Create a child theme and overwrite the footer.php or header.php.
2. Insert the quotescollection_quote() function where you want the quotes to appear, with the params you need (you can find the possible function params on the plugin page on W.org).
If you h<ve to use the widget for some reason, you would need to register an additional widget area and output it in the header.php or footer.php – that would be a little bit more complicated.
I hope that helps, if not – just ask 🙂
Cheers,
Florian
Hi Florian,
I created a zip file with a style.css and functions.php, as described in https://die-netzialisten.de/wordpress/anleitung-ein-wordpress-child-theme-anlegen/, and uploaded it.
The results I get are:
Entpacken des Pakets …
Das Theme wird installiert …
Dieses Theme braucht ein Eltern-Theme. Überprüfung, ob es installiert ist …
Vorbereiten der Installation Rindby 2.0.0 …
Herunterladen des Installationspakets von https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/theme/rindby.2.0.0.zip …

Das Theme wird installiert …
Der Zielordner existiert bereits. /customers/f/7/a/earth-myhome.net/httpd.www/wp-content/themes/rindby/
Theme-Installation fehlgeschlagen.
Das Theme wurde erfolgreich installiert.
In the “Themes” panel I can’t see my theme :-´(

Hi Patrick,
the functions.php should not be necessary (the parent styles should load automatically), you just need a style.css to begin: https://gist.github.com/florianbrinkmann/3db6d5ac2e9995234ab58354b31aedb6 (oh, and there is an updated version of the article https://die-netzialisten.de/wordpress/anleitung-childtheme-anlegen-update/ :))
Put the file into a rindby-child folder, ZIP it and upload it via the theme uploader. If that does not work, try to upload the theme folder (not the zipped version) to wp-content/themes.
With that, you should get a working child theme to overwrite files from Rindby (just copy them).
Hope that works!
Florian
Great, it works !
Now on to the Quotes-part !
BTW, I just booked 1 week in Rindby, on Pfingsten 😉
And the Quotes are working as well !!! :-O
