Hi Popeye1,
this is almost universally an issue with either your theme or an other plugin you are using. If any of these are not coded to WordPress standards, they can cause jQuery errors which would throw off HD Quiz’s ability to grab the results via ajax.
The good news is that these issues are usually very easy to track down. Can you please provide a link to the page with a quiz? I can take a look and get a solution to you ASAP.
You are quite correct. The Quizcat plugin was the issue. A paid-for that just isn’t up to the job. Deactivated and deleted. The quiz result appear where expected.
However. What I have now is the text of the questions are white on a white background. Using 2017 dark.

Thank you for your time.
Thanks for the link! HD Quiz uses your themes default styles to style itself.
The problem here is that you have a dark background on your site, therefore your fonts need to be light. HD Quiz now uses your light fonts.
The next release of HD Quiz will have 1) a smarter implementation of styling and 2) a “dark mode” which will automatically make the fonts dark.
For now though, you can fix this by inserting the following into your theme’s stylesheet. Please let me know if you need help doing this.
#hdQuestionnaireContent * {color:#2d2d2d !important}
This will turn all font colors in HD Quiz to #2d2d2d, which is a dark grey colour that I think will work nicely on your site. You can, of course, change #2d2d2d with any other colour you like.
Please let me know if this works for you and I’ll mark this as resolved 🙂
Outstanding help – thank you very much.
I’ll give you a mention in my next wordpress podcast: wordpress tips and tricks.
Just by the by. I wonder now if my original issue was related to being logged in when trying the quiz.
Might be worth exploring…
Cheers, Steve.
OK – found something. If I do the quiz in 2017 when it is a part of the front page I get a new page appear on completion. If I access the page alone via the menu tab it works perfectly.

Hi Steve,
that actually is interesting and is definitely worth a greater look into – especially if it is happening on twenty seventeen. WordPress has made a lot of changes to the way jQuery gets called as well as the way that custom taxonomy metadata should be saved. I did extensive testing in the recent WP versions and didn’t find any incompatibilities though.
If there is a discrepancy between being logged in and not logged in, my instinct is telling me that there must be another plugin injecting poor jQuery code. I’ll for sure look deeper into this issues though.
Please also send me a link to your podcast!
Bookmarked.
I’m marking this thread as solved, but please do not hesitate to continue if you have any further questions.
