Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records AJB Random Quote Cards version 2.1.0 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
AJB Random Quote Cards lets you build a library of quotes and display them anywhere on your site as styled cards. Every page load can show a different random quote, or you can use Quote of the Day mode to show the same quote for a full 24 hours before rotating.
Quotes are managed through a clean, purpose-built form — no Gutenberg editor confusion. Add your quote text, author, an optional link, assign categories, and mark favourites, all in one clear screen.
Key features:
Display quotes using a simple shortcode or a native Gutenberg block
Random mode — a new quote on every page load
Quote of the Day mode — one quote per day, cached for performance
Full typographic control — font, size, colour, style, and weight for both quote and author text
Google Fonts support — type any font name and it loads automatically
Copy to clipboard button on every card
Optional “Learn More” external link per quote
Categories — organise quotes and filter by category in the shortcode or block
Favourites — mark quotes and display only favourites when you want
Author prefix and suffix — customise how the author name is presented
Four layout modes — block centre, block left, block right, and inline
Per-card style overrides — every visual setting can be changed per shortcode or block
Responsive — cards never overflow on mobile
CSV bulk import and export — with multi-category support using pipe or comma separators
15 sample quotes included on activation so you can see it working straight away
Conditional asset loading — CSS and JS only load on pages that actually use a quote card
Gutenberg block:
The native “Random Quote” block (found under Widgets in the block inserter) gives you all the same options as the shortcode, configured directly in the Inspector sidebar — no code needed.
Shortcode:
The basic shortcode is simply [ajbq_quote]. Use the built-in Shortcode Builder page to generate your shortcode visually with colour pickers and a live preview, then copy it with one click.
