I want to edit the output for %QUESTIONS_ANSWERS%. Can I do that?

Yes, it is possible to edit the output of the variable %QUESTIONS_ANSWERS%. When editing your quiz, go to the “Text” tab. Once on the “Text” tab scroll almost all the way down the page and you will see a text area that allows you to edit the contents of %QUESTIONS_ANSWERS%.

I want to remove the “Correct Answer” part of my results page, or I want to display the “Correct Answer Info” part on my results page. How can I do that?

To make these changes, you will edit the %QUESTIONS_ANSWERS% variable. To do that, simply look at the answer to the previous question.

My preview looks different than my quiz. What can I do?

This is usually a theme conflict. You can checkout out our common conflict solutions or feel free to contact us.

very easy to work with and applicable to most quiz and survey’s!!

Это самый классный плагин для викторин и тестов я попробовал больше 10 других разных плагинов, и остановился на этом так как он работает без проблем настройка очень понятная и удобная! Отдельно хочу сказать про поддержку, хотя плагин и бесплатный, поддержка работает на все 100%! Спасибо ребята вам за такой хороший плагин! Всем рекомендую моя оценка 10 звезд из 5 🙂 This is the coolest plugin for quizzes and tests, I tried more than 10 other different plugins, and stopped at this because it works without problems, the setup is very clear and convenient! Separately, I want to say about the support, although the plugin is free, the support works 100%! Thank you guys for such a good plugin! I recommend to everyone my rating of 10 stars from 5 🙂

I was so happy to find a quiz for my site (so I thought). Everything worked fined the 1st day, and then I noticed results not coming in. I checked and it turns out after you submit, you get an error called “nonce validation failed.” I checked support and they said they can’t get rid of that code which basically means you can’t even use this plugin! I wish they would fix this… so beware if you use this you may not be getting the results.

You can design almost any type of quiz with 15 different kind of questions solely or in a blended manner.

I have started working with the QSM plugin and I am really impressed about how useful is. Also I had a situation and I have connected the support guy and I was very happy for his help. Quick and straight to the point.

Did well in hard times of online teaching 🙂
