 * Hi–
 * I’ve been using this plugin for a few weeks now. I keep running into issues with
   importing. I’m using your Quiz Converter site and have been using escape characters
   for all ” ‘ ^ , etc. I’m loading about 125 questions right now and the importer
   will only upload questions 1-28. I keep looking at questions 28 and 29 and cannot
   figure out why it won’t upload any of the questions after. Any ideas what might
   be going on?
 * Thank you!

 * Nevermind. I was able to figure it out. For anyone else who may be having issues,
   be sure to use the escape codes for any special characters ([http://www.theukwebdesigncompany.com/articles/entity-escape-characters.php](http://www.theukwebdesigncompany.com/articles/entity-escape-characters.php)).
   I replaced everything that was out of the ordinary including **< > ” ” ^ / ‘ (),**.
 * The thing that was causing me the most problems was that I replaced all of the
   regular quotation marks with an escape code, but didn’t realize there were “curly”
   quotations marks within some of the questions. My find/replace only caught the“
   straight” quotation marks, so I kept getting an error.
 * Hope this helps someone out there!

 * It is very hard to import questions. There are some SW’s like [http://esltutor.net/quiz-converter/](http://esltutor.net/quiz-converter/)
   but as jestergirl says there are problem with sğpecial characters.
 * It works, yes but these characters are headaches. XML transformation is hard.
   You have to edit the questions and answers afterwards. I imported 38.000 questions
   and answers and revised lots of things.
