  I’d love to set up a widget that selects a random quote from a set I’ve given it and displays that quote on my page for 24 hours before selecting the next one. I don’t know how to do this.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Sophie,

  I think the best option at the moment might be to use a Testimonials Shortcode to display your quotes randomly. The support document tells you how to activate the Testimonial custom content type and then how to add some posts (quotes in your case).

  There are a number of attributes you can use with the Testimonials Shortcode.

  [testimonials image=false columns=1 showposts=1 orderby=rand]

  That code, or whatever you decide on, should be able to be used within a Text Widget.

  Let me know how it goes!

  Thanks! I’ll give this a try.
