## INSTALLATION
[Download the plugin](https://github.com/adamdehaven/perfect-pullquotes/archive/master.zip). To change the default color of the pullquote’s border, edit lines 71, 79, and 87 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 (details below). Upload the compressed perfect-pullquotes.zip plugin file via your Wordpress Dashboard.
Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
Once installed, the plugin will add a Pullquote dropdown button to the Visual Editor (as seen below) within your Wordpress installation as well as enable the `[perfectpullquote]` shortcode. The actual positioning of the button in your installation may vary.
## SHORTCODE
The plugin enables a [Wordpress shortcode](https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API) 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="" cite="" link="" color="" class="" size=""]This is the pullquote text.[/perfectpullquote]
## OPTIONS
The shortcode includes six options, as outlined below.
Option | Accepts | Description | Example
--- | --- | --- | ---
align | left right full | Determines whether pullquote is left-aligned, right-aligned, or full-width (95% width of container). **Required** | [perfectpullquote align="left"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
bordertop | true | Move the border location above the pullquote. On mobile, falls back to the `align` corresponding location. **Optional** | [perfectpullquote align="right" bordertop="true"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
cite | text | Cite your quotes back to their author/source. **Optional** | [perfectpullquote align="right" cite="Jane Doe"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
link | URL | 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. **Optional** | [perfectpullquote align="right" cite="Jane Doe" link="http://example.com"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
color | [HEX](http://www.colorhexa.com/) color code | Change the default border-color attribute by entering a valid HEX color, including the # | [perfectpullquote align="left" color="#16989D"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
class | text | Add class(es) to pullquote container. **Optional** | [perfectpullquote align="right" class="cited author-quote"]This is the text.[/perfectpullquote]
size | integer | Change the size, in pixels, of the pullquote's text. **Optional** | [perfectpullquote align="right" size="32"]This is the 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.
