Common questions about XV Random Quotes

Version 2.0 is a complete modernization using WordPress Custom Post Types, Gutenberg blocks, and REST API. All legacy features remain fully compatible.

Small databases (≤500 quotes): Automatic migration on plugin activation Large databases (>500 quotes): Shows admin notice with "Start Migration" button for batch processing Migration is safe and can be resumed if interrupted Original data remains in the database for safety

Yes! All legacy shortcodes work exactly as before: [stray-random], [stray-id], [stray-all], and template tags like stray_random_quote().

Edit any post or page in the Block Editor Click + to add a block Search for "quote" Choose from: Random Quote, Specific Quote, or List Quotes blocks Configure block settings in the sidebar

Yes! Enable AJAX in the widget settings. You can set a timer for automatic rotation or allow manual refresh with a click link.

Yes! The plugin works with both the Block Editor and Classic Editor. Meta boxes are available for adding quote content and source in both editors.
