How do I display text in box that changes DAILY?

  • Unknown's avatar

    Dictionary.com has a box on a page where the text changes daily. (They use it for word definition of the day.)

    The text is NOT added to a page and left there like regular posts.

    The old text is removed, and new text is added to the same box on a public page every day.

    Additionally, I’d like to just upload a spreadsheet of data and have the day’s text displayed in the page, instead of fiddling with a scheduler for each day of text.

    Lastly, I’d like to save the published data, and have all published data re-displayed in a paid member’s section (Paid Membership Pro plugin?) for reference material. So that reference section would need a search feature, and a way to organize the data. I could add organization tags to a field in the spreadsheet.

    This is what I want for a site I’m going to create.

    What plugin(s) do you recommend I use to handle the daily text box change, and handling the data after publishing?

    Thank you in advance for your ideas.

    By the way, I do NOT intend to build a dictionary, although some of the data might be displayed as definitions. I want to display smidgens of random facts in a text box. Thank you.

  • Hi there!

    Most folks in these forums have a free WordPress site hosted here with us, and thus can’t install plugins without upgrading. And since the upgraded sites come with direct support, those users don’t typically hang out here. So if you’re looking for plugin recommendations, you’ll likely find more relevant information if you’ll try the other forum:
