How to Add My Own Quotes?
Hack #1 (Recommended)
- Create a file with extension “.db.php” on your local computer (for example: sample.db.php)
- Fill the file with this default content
<?php
$db = array(
‘quote1′,
‘quote2′,
);
?> - You can add more quotes by adding lines to the middle part so it will look like this
<?php
$db = array(
‘quote1′,
‘quote2′,
‘quote3 new quote’,
‘quote4 new quote’,
);
?> - Save the file
- Upload it to your server into this directory “/wp-content/quote” (you need to create the quote directory first)
- Done!
Hack #2
- You can add your own quotes by using plugin editor.
- From the left admin menus, choose “Plugins” -> “Editor”.
- select the plugin “My Quote” and click “Select” button.
- From the plugin files listed on the right, quotes database files are ended with extension “.db.php”
- Click any of those database files you want to modify (adding, modify or removing quotes)
- Click “Update File” button as you finished editing
