Icons

• The WordPress Dash-Icons set is included by default.

Next Quote Links

You can configure the “next quote” link (in the options tab) which is displayed in widgets and wherever you place the shortcode [quotes-llama].

Here are some examples:

• Default: … (next quote)
• Plain Text: next quote >>
• Dash-Icon: next quote <span class="dashicons dashicons-arrow-right-alt2">
• Unicode: next quote »

You can also change how the link is displayed using CSS.
Some examples:

• .quotes-llama-widget-random hr {display: none;} This will remove the line between the quote and the link.
• .quotes-llama-widget-next {text-align: left; font-style: normal;} This will align to the left and remove the italic.

Navigate to your Dashboard–>Appearance–>Customize–>Additional CSS. DO NOT directly edit any theme/plugin files as they are ALL overwritten when updating.

Security

• Be aware that external linking of sites and images creates the possibility of a (BLH) attack. Broken link hijacking (BLH) is a type of web attack which exploits external links that are no longer valid. Mainly due to an expired domain. The link content can be replaced and redirected, used to deface, impersonate, or even launch cross-site (XSS) scripting attacks.
