The plugin enables a WordPress shortcode that allows you to add a pullquote within your content. The shortcode can be added manually or by selecting text in the text editor and then selecting an option (left, right, or full) from the Pullquote dropdown button.
The default shortcode tag is shown here
[perfectpullquote align="left" bordertop="" class="" cite="" link="" color=""]This is the pullquote text.[/perfectpullquote]
Options
The shortcode includes six options, (align, color, and class) as outlined below:
align=”left”
REQUIRED: Determines whether pullquote is left-aligned, right-aligned, or full-width (95% width of container). Accepts “left”, “right”, or “full”
[perfectpullquote align="left"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
bordertop=”true”
Optional: Move the border location above the pullquote. On mobile, falls back to the align corresponding location.
[perfectpullquote align="left" bordertop="true"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
cite=”Jane Doe”
Optional: Cite your quotes back to their author/source
[perfectpullquote align ="right" cite="Jane Doe"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
link=”http://example.com”
Optional: Turn the cited author’s name into a link that opens in a new window. Must be a valid URL beginning with http or https
[perfectpullquote align ="right" cite="Jane Doe" link="http://example.com"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
color=”#EEEEEE”
Optional: Change the default border-color attribute by entering a valid HEX color, including the pound ( # ) sign.
[perfectpullquote align="left" color="#16989D"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
class=”className”
Optional: Add class(es) to pullquote container.
[perfectpullquote align ="right" class="firstClass secondClass"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
size=”21″
Optional: Change the font size of the pullquote’s text, in pixels.
[perfectpullquote align ="right" size="32"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
Screenshots
This screenshot shows the 'Pullquote' button that will be added to the Visual Editor once installed. The button can be used to insert a left-aligned, right-aligned, or full-width pullquote, accordingly. The actual positioning of the button in your installation may vary.
An example of a left-aligned and right-aligned pullquote. Your pullquotes will vary depending on your font settings, color choices, etc.
Are all of the shortcode option attributes required?
No. Only the align option attribute is required. All other attributes may be deleted if unsued. For example:
[perfectpullquote align="left"]Text[/perfectpullquote]
How can I change the color of the pullquote’s border?
To change the default color of the pullquote’s border, before uploading the plugin, edit lines 67, 75, and 83 of the perfect-pullquotes.css file by changing the HEX value of the border-color attribute. Alternatively, once the plugin is installed, you may utilize the “color” option included within the shortcode.
How can I add additional classes to the pullquote’s container?
Simply utilize the “class” option on the shortcode tag.
[perfectpullquote align="left" class="firstClass secondClass"]Text[/perfectpullquote]
How can I change the font size of the text?
Simply utilize the “size” option on the shortcode tag by entering the one or two-digit size, in pixels.
[perfectpullquote align="left" size="32"]Text[/perfectpullquote]
How can I add a cite to the quote?
Simply utilize the “cite” option on the shortcode tag.
[perfectpullquote align="left" cite="Author Name"]Text[/perfectpullquote]
Can I link to the cited author’s website, online works, etc.?
Simply utilize the “cite” and “link” options on the shortcode tag. Both options must be present in order to generate a working link.
[perfectpullquote align="left" cite="Author Name" link="http://example.com"]Text[/perfectpullquote]
I updated the plugin, but now my pullquotes look weird. Help?
After updating the plugin, you may see “ugly” pullquotes until you clear the cache in your browser and load the new CSS files from the plugin. Server cache time may vary. If the pullquotes continue to look “broken,” simply clear your web brower’s cache and refresh the page.
