Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Citatly – Daily Quote

No. The quote is selected once per day based on the current date. All visitors see the same quote throughout the day, regardless of caching.

The daily quote is selected based on the current date and the total number of published quotes. Adding, deleting, or unpublishing a quote may cause today's quote to change. From the next day on, everything works as normal again.

Yes. The REST endpoint returns proper Cache-Control and Expires headers that expire at midnight. It works correctly with WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, Cloudflare, and similar solutions.

Yes. However, if REST API caching is enabled in LiteSpeed Cache, the quote may not change daily as expected. To fix this, set "Default REST TTL" to 0 under LiteSpeed Cache → Cache → TTL.

The daily quote is loaded via a REST API request in the visitor's browser. If the REST API is restricted or disabled for unauthenticated visitors, the quote will not be displayed. Most performance and security plugins that restrict the REST API also allow whitelisting specific endpoints. Add citatly/v1/today as an exception to restore functionality. Note: If you are using Perfmatters, the exception is registered automatically — no manual configuration needed.

Yes. The block is available in the editor right away after activation. The shortcode [citatly] works independently of the block and is always available.

Yes. The plugin outputs a simple HTML structure with BEM-style CSS classes that you can target in your theme's stylesheet: .citatly — outer wrapper .citatly__text — the quote text .citatly__meta — wraps author and source .citatly__separator — dash before author (default: "— ") .citatly__author — author name .citatly__divider — dot between author and source (default: " · ") .citatly__source — optional extra field Interactive styling examples are available at citatly.com/docs/css-styling

There is no hard limit. The plugin handles up to 5,000 published quotes without any issues.

Yes. Go to Quotes → Import / Export in the admin. Upload a JSON file containing an array of objects with the fields text, author, and extra. Duplicate quotes (same text) are automatically skipped.

No. All fields are stored and output as plain text only. Line breaks entered in the text field are preserved in the frontend output.
