# %QUESTION% and %USER_ANSWER% not working

 * Hi. I want my admin to receive the users results displayed as such.
 * The question asked
    The answer they gave.
 * However, when I add the %QUESTION% and %USER_ANSWER% variables to the email template
   it literally sends “%QUESTION%” and “%USER_ANSWER%” rather than the data was 
   actually entered.
 * When I used %QUESTIONS_ANSWERS% the questions and answers come through properly
   but the correct answer is also shown. As I am using the plugin as a survey, there
   is no correct answer so I do not want this sent in the email.
    How can I make
   it so that the question and answer are the only two variables sent?
 * Thanks for any help.

 * Greetings drinkingsouls,
 * Thank you for choosing to use this plugin! The %QUESTION% and %USER_ANSWER% can
   only be used when you are editing the template used for %QUESTIONS_ANSWERS%. 
   When editing a quiz, go to the “Text” tab. Scroll down to the option labelled“%
   QUESTIONS_ANSWERS% Text”. Here, you can use the %QUESTION% and %USER_ANSWER% 
   varaibles as well as the ones for correct answer and correct answer info.
 * You can also remove the correct answer from that text by removing it in this 
   same template.

 * Hi, I got the same issue, but the variables send ok to admin email but as a plain
   text %QUESTION% and %USER_ANSWER% in email to user. I’ve checked various emails,
   I did number of quizzes and always the same. I have it set in TEXT tab. Any ideas?

 * Hey PFQ,
 * It is because the %QUESTION% and %USER_ANSWER% can only be used when you are 
   editing the template used for %QUESTIONS_ANSWERS%. So if you customize %QUESTIONS_ANSWERS%
   to your liking, you can then use %QUESTIONS_ANSWERS% in the Emails tab.
 * Cheers
