Citatly is a free WordPress plugin designed to display a daily quote on a website, rotating automatically at midnight so that all visitors see the same quote each day. The plugin allows site owners to manage their own collection of quotes, which can be added manually through a dedicated 'Quotes' post type in the WordPress admin or imported in bulk via JSON files. This makes it suitable for anyone looking to share curated quotations on their WordPress site without relying on external services.
The plugin offers both a Gutenberg block and a shortcode, enabling easy embedding of the daily quote in posts, pages, or widgets. Users have full control over the appearance of the displayed quotes, as Citatly imposes no forced styles and provides BEM CSS classes for customization through the site's existing theme. The plugin is designed to be cache-safe, ensuring that the daily quote remains consistent and stable for all visitors, with deterministic rotation each day.
Citatly includes a REST API endpoint (/wp-json/citatly/v1/today) that supports HTTP caching headers, making it compatible with content delivery networks (CDNs) and facilitating integration with other systems if needed. For security, the plugin handles only plain text, with no HTML stored or rendered, and is XSS-safe. Bulk management of quotes is supported through JSON import and export features, allowing for efficient updates or migrations of quote collections.
Distributed under the GPLv2 license, Citatly is available for free with no account required. org or installed via the WordPress plugin directory. The tool is aimed at WordPress site administrators, bloggers, and content creators seeking an automated, customizable way to feature daily quotations on their sites.
