In this article, we are going to discuss how to set up your quiz appropriately. To do this, head to the General Settings page of the Quiz Plugin and go to the General tab.
Let’s go over its options one by one.
Who will have permission to Quiz #
In this option, you can change who can access the Quiz menu and who can have access to all quizzes.
In the first field, select the user roles who will have access to the Quiz menu. These users will have access to the quizzes created by them. Therefore, they can only make changes to the data of their own quizzes.
The user roles chosen in the second field will have access to manage all the quizzes of all users. For this feature to work, the user roles chosen for this field should be mentioned in the first field as well.
You can see the roles of all users on the Users page.
Default parameters for Quiz #
With these options, you can change the default parameters which will be set for creating a quiz. These parameters can be changed later.
- Questions default type
Here, you can change the type of a question that will be set automatically when creating a question.
- Answer default count
In this field, you can change the default number of the answer options that will be initially on the Edit Question page. Input a number or change it with the arrows on the right of the field.
For example, if you choose “4”, there will initially be 4 answer options when creating a question. Despite the default number of answer options, you can always add or delete answer options for the particular question and get the desired number of answer options.
- Questions default category
The questions are classified into categories. You can create new categories from the Question Categories page. When creating a question, you can choose what category you want the question to belong to from the Edit Page. Question categories can later be used for many different purposes.
Also, when creating questions, check the video on All Question Types of WordPress Quiz Plugin as a guide.
So, with the Questions default category option, you can choose what will be the default category of the question that will be selected automatically when creating the question. However, you can always change the question category from the particular question’s Edit Page.
- Questions default tags
With this option, choose the default Question tags for all the questions․ No matter what question tags are set on default, you will still be able to change them when creating a question.
Question Tags are added to questions to separate them into groups. These tags will help you find your questions easily. For example, when you add questions to the quiz, you can click on the Filters and write down the tags in the Filter by tag section. The questions with the mentioned tags will be filtered out.
- Keyword default count
Here, you can choose the maximum number of keywords that can be added to questions. The default count will be 26, each corresponding to one letter of the alphabet.
If you choose “5”, then you will have 5 different keywords (A, B, C, D, E) that you can assign to each answer option.
Keywords are used to make conclusions about the results of the quiz based on the chosen answers to the questions. You can have the statistics of the It is often used to create 16 Personalities Test.
- WP Editor height
In this field, you can choose the default height for the WordPress editor that will apply to all the editors of the plugin.
- Textarea height (public)
Choose a height for the area of the texts for questions, feedback texts, etc.
- Enable answers allow HTML for new question
Tick this option if you want to allow using HTML code in the answer boxes. This feature will only work for Radio and Checkbox questions.
- Enable No influence to score for new question
Tick this option if you want the No influence to score checkbox to be ticked by default on the Edit Question page.
The No influence to score option makes the answer to the question not affect the overall score. Hence, the question doesn’t have correct or incorrect answers and is meant to collect data from the answers.
- Enable Hide question text for new question
Tick this checkbox to enable the Hide question text on the front-end option by default on the Edit Question page.
The above-mentioned option hides the question text for the users. It is often used when the question includes images, and the text is not necessary.
- Strip slashes for answers for a new question
Tick this checkbox if you want the Strip slashes for answers for a new question option to be enabled by default on the Edit Question page.
After enabling this option, backslashes are removed from the question text.
- Enable case sensitive text for a new question
Tick this option and the “Enable case sensitive text” option will be enabled by default when creating a new question.
The “Enable case sensitive text” option is for the Text and Short Text question types. When you choose one of these question types while creating a question, the mentioned option will become available. If you enable this option, then any answer other than the right answer will be considered wrong. When the option is disabled, the difference in capitalization of letters won’t result the answer being incorrect (e.g. If the correct answer to the question is “yellow”, then the answer “Yellow” will be considered correct.)
- Show quiz button to Admins only
If you tick this option, only admins will see the Quiz Maker button when they add or edit a new post in the WordPress editor.
Users IP addresses #
Tick Do not store IP addresses option, and the IP addresses will not be stored in the database. In this case, you cannot set limitations on users using their IP address from the Edit Quiz page, and it won’t be shown in the detailed report.
Quiz Right/Wrong answers sounds #
With this option, you can choose the sounds for the right or wrong answers to the quiz.
Excerpt words count in list tables #
In this part, choose your preferred length of lines (by word count), which will be displayed on the corresponding list tables.
For example, if you write “2” for the Quizzes list table, then only the first 2 words of the titles will be shown in the Quizzes Page list.
Animation Top #
Check the Enable animation option if you want to enable the scroll offset for the part of of the screen that is not visible. When it is enabled, the user will automatically be scrolled back to the full view of the quiz after clicking on any button.
Let’s say the user scrolls down the page so only the bottom part of the quiz is visible. After he or she clicks on the Start button of the quiz, the page will be scrolled back to the part where the quiz is fully visible. Here is how the view changes (Initial View to the Final View) after clicking on the Start button.
After that, give the scroll offset a value (in pixels). This value shows how many pixels the screen will move when scrolling the offset.
General CSS File #
If you tick the Exclude general CSS file from home page option, the general CSS file of the quiz will not work on the Home page.
Lazy loading #
This option is good for the performance of the page; the loading process of images will be more efficient after enabling the “Lazy loading” option. This option works only for the question and answer images and not for the quiz image.
Menu notifications #
- Disable Quiz maker menu item notification
After you enable this option, notifications will not be shown in the Quiz Maker menu.
- Disable Results menu item notification
Tick this option if you want to hide the notifications from the Results menu.
Start button activation #
After you tick this option, a loader will be activated with the text “Loading…” before the Start button while the page is loading.
Results settings #
If you enable the Store all not finished results option, the data of all started but not finished quizzes will be stored. It will be displayed in the Not Finished tab of the Results Page.
Information form settings #
By ticking the Show information form only once option, the information form will no longer be displayed for the users who have already filled in their email addresses.
Quiz Login form Settings #
Enable Login Form Custom Redirection – Choose this option if you want the user to be redirected to your provided link of the Login Form after filling in the email or password incorrectly. Write your link in the field for Custom login form link.
Erase Quiz data #
Choose a time period (in months), and the data for quizzes older than that will be deleted.
That’s it; these were all the plugin’s general settings.
