Create your test from the visual builder, configure questions, answers, points and result ranges, and then insert the generated shortcode into any post or page. The plugin is suitable for educational activities, knowledge tests, self-assessments, questionnaires, personality-style tests, vocational tests and other interactive quizzes where answers can have different point values. All test information is stored directly in the shortcode attributes. The plugin does not require custom database tables to store tests. **Main features** * **Visual test and quiz builder:** Create tests and quizzes from the WordPress admin panel without manually writing shortcode syntax. * **Shortcode-based tests:** Insert your tests into posts and pages using the `[ mevabishortest]` shortcode. * **Edit existing tests:** Paste an existing shortcode into the “Edit Test” screen and modify it using the visual builder. * **Custom answer scoring:** Assign a different point value to every answer, allowing more flexible tests and assessments. * **Negative scores:** Use negative, zero or positive points for answers and create result ranges that include negative values. * **Custom result messages:** Define different messages based on the visitor’s total score, such as beginner, intermediate, advanced or custom assessment results. * **Optional final score:** Show or hide the numeric score above the final result. This is useful when the score itself is not meaningful, such as in vocational or personality-style tests. * **Retake option:** Add a “Take the test again” button so visitors can reset and complete the test again. * **Two display modes:** Show all questions on one screen or display one question at a time with a progress bar. * **Global styling options:** Customize colors and text size for the tests displayed on your website. * **Lightweight and self-contained:** No external API calls, third-party services, custom database tables or external dependencies are required. **Create tests with a shortcode** A basic test can be created using the following shortcode: ``` [mevabishortest title="Test title" description="Optional description" button="Next" display="all" score="yes" repeat="Take the test again" q1="Question 1|Answer A;10|Answer B;5|Answer C;0" q2="Question 2|Answer A;0|Answer B;10|Answer C;5" result="Beginner;0;10|Intermediate;11;20|Advanced;21;25|Expert;26;50"] ``` The visual builder generates this shortcode for you, so you do not need to write the syntax manually. **Flexible scoring and result ranges** Each answer can have its own point value. Result messages are displayed according to the total score obtained. Use the following format: ``` result="Text;minimum;maximum|Text2;minimum;maximum" ``` Negative scores are supported. For example: ``` result="Insufficient;-10;-5|Very low;-4;2|Great student;3;20" ``` This makes the plugin suitable for tests where incorrect answers can subtract points or where different answers have different levels of value. **Display modes** Choose between two ways of presenting your test: * **All questions:** Display all questions on the same screen. * **One question at a time:** Display questions individually with a progress bar for a more focused quiz experience. **Score and retake options** You can decide whether visitors see their final numeric score. For example: ``` score="yes" ``` displays the score, while: ``` score="no" ``` hides the numeric score and displays only the corresponding result. You can also add a retake button: ``` repeat="Take the test again" ``` This allows visitors to restart the test after seeing their result. **Shortcode characters** The characters `|`, `;` and `"` are used as internal separators in the shortcode and cannot be used directly inside question, answer or result text. The visual builder automatically removes these characters from entered text to help prevent shortcode conflicts. ## Screenshots [⌊Visual test builder for creating questions, answers, points and result ranges.⌉⌊ Visual test builder for creating questions, answers, points and result ranges.⌉[ Visual test builder for creating questions, answers, points and result ranges.

[[ [[ [[ [[ ## Installation 1. Install Mevabi Shortest from the WordPress admin or upload the `mevabi-shortest` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 2.

The plugin does not store visitor answers or test results on the server. ### Does the plugin create custom database tables? No. Test content is stored directly in the shortcode attributes, so the plugin does not need custom database tables for your tests. ### Can I use the same test more than once on the same page? Yes. You can insert the same shortcode, or several different test shortcodes, multiple times on the same post or page. ### Can I create a test without knowing how to code? Yes. The visual builder lets you create questions, answers, scores and result ranges without manually writing the shortcode. ### Can I edit an existing test? Yes. Open “Mevabi Shortest Edit Test”, paste the existing `[mevabishortest]` shortcode and edit the test using the visual builder. ### Can answers have negative points? Yes. Answers can have negative, zero or positive point values. Result ranges can also contain negative numbers. ### Can I hide the numeric score? Yes. Disable “Show the final numeric score” in the visual builder, or use `score ="no"` in the shortcode. This is useful for assessments where the numeric score is not meaningful, including vocational, personality-style or self-assessment tests. ### Can visitors take the same test again? Yes. Add the `repeat` parameter to display a button that allows visitors to reset and retake the test. ### Can I use the characters “|”, “;” or ‘”‘ in questions and answers? No. These characters are used internally to separate fields in the shortcode. The visual builder automatically removes them from entered text. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Mevabi Shortest – Fast Test & Quiz Generator” is open source software.
