We sincerely apologize for any negative experience you’ve had with our plugin. * Regarding the spam entries, we’ve thoroughly reviewed the screenshots you provided. It appears that the attackers might be bypassing browser-level validations. To address this, we can help you implement a custom code solution that adds an extra layer of validation to your quizzes. This should help reduce spam entries significantly. Here’s the code snippet you can use: * ```wp-block-code function qsm_validation_submit_results_before( $qmn_quiz_options, $qmn_array_for_variables ) { global $mlwQuizMasterNext; $mlw_qmn_timer = isset( $_POST['timer'] ) ? intval( $_POST['timer'] ) : 0; if ( 0 === $mlw_qmn_timer ) { echo wp_json_encode( array( 'display' => __( 'Invalid Request!', 'qsm-recaptcha' ), 'redirect' => false, 'result_status' => array( 'save_response' => false, ), ) ); exit(); }}add_action( 'qsm_submit_results_before','qsm_validation_submit_results_before', 2, 10 ); ``` * This code will help ensure that only valid submissions are accepted, adding an additional check that should help mitigate spam attacks. * We’re continuously working to improve our plugin’s flexibility. We respect your choice and are here to help you with any other solutions that might fit your needs. * To further clarify the usefulness of the Captcha question in QSM, we have created a short screen recording demonstrating how it works effectively to block basic spam entries. This can be a quick and easy solution for many users facing similar issues. * You can view the screen recording here, without correct answer to Captcha question, QSM doesn’t records any result: * We encourage you to try these solutions and let us know if you encounter any issues or need further assistance. Our goal is to ensure that QSM remains a valuable tool for your site without compromising security or user experience. * Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We are always here to help and are committed to providing you with the best possible service. * Best regards, Avi * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) – Quiz Maker & Survey Maker] Supports separating the information input screen and the test taking screen](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/supports-separating-the-information-input-screen-and-the-test-taking-screen/) * [Avi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avi25/) * (@avi25) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/supports-separating-the-information-input-screen-and-the-test-taking-screen/#post-17836292) * Hello [@vuongnv14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vuongnv14/) * Thank you for writing to us. I see you are looking for assistance in creating a test that displays a contact form at the start of the test and then shows the test content with the timer to the participants. * It’s very easy to setup. Here are 2 easy ways you can achieve: 1. Using Manual Paging Setup 2. Using Auto-paging Setup * **Using Manual Paging **_(Just like how it’s shown in the video tutorial you shared)_ * You can manually assign questions to each pages as per your needs. You can add as much questions as you want in a page. Just click on the “Create New Page” button at the bottom to create new page and add questions to the new page. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/snipboard.io/AQwskt.jpg?ssl=1) * Once done, just move to contact tab. Enable the contact fields as per your needs. To know more on how to setup contact form, you can follow this [documentation](https://quizandsurveymaster.com/docs/creating-quizzes-and-surveys/adding-contact-form-fields/). * This practice would let you see the contact form at the start of your test and the participants would be able to see the test content after contact field is filled. * Note: Manual Paging is ideal for displaying different numbers of questions on different pages of your test. For example, you want to display two questions on the first page, three on the second page, and five on the third page. Simply add the questions manually to each page and you will have your manual page ready. * **Using Auto-paging Setup** * Assume you have added all of your questions to a single page in the test. As your test is in manual paging mode, you should see the contact form at the top and the rest of the questions below because the system is showing you a single page test view. * If you want to display a specific number of questions on each page automatically, simply click on the “options” tab in your test editor. Then navigate to “display”. Under Question preferences, you can set the number of questions you want to show in your test at each page. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/snipboard.io/dn9z5M.jpg?ssl=1) * Now you should be able to see an auto-paging setup in your test that shows all the page with thee number of questions that you have set. * I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more assistance, we’ll be happy to help you further. * Regards, Avi * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Gutena Forms – Contact Form, Survey Form, Feedback Form, Booking Form, and Custom Form Builder] Mail recevied but no success message displayed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mail-recevied-but-no-success-message-displayed/) * [Avi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avi25/) * (@avi25) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mail-recevied-but-no-success-message-displayed/#post-17834515) * Hi [@louislemasson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/louislemasson/) * Thanks for your reply. We understand your concern regarding the manual smtp configuration with Gutena. However, I’d like to inform you that the Gutena Forms submit button is used to only submit the form and does not have any relation to SMTP.

We found that the following error is generated by system * ```wp-block-code SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: (0)
SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host.Failed to connect to server
``` * It means your WordPress website is unable to establish a connection with the SMTP server. * This can happen due to incorrect SMTP settings, such as the wrong host, port, username, or password. * Please check this [article](https://wpmailsmtp.com/how-to-fix-could-not-connect-to-smtp-host-in-wordpress/#:~:text=An%20%E2%80%9CSMTP%20error%20could%20not,port%2C%20username%2C%20or%20password.) to know about the issues this may be occuring * As you shared: “SyntaxError: Unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON at position 4 (line 1 column 5)” this occurs due to unexpected SMTP ERROR thrown as a response by wordpress. * Once you fix the SMTP, your issues would be sorted. However, in case of any challenges, feel free to contact us. * Thanks, Avi * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Gutena Forms – Contact Form, Survey Form, Feedback Form, Booking Form, and Custom Form Builder] Mail recevied but no success message displayed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mail-recevied-but-no-success-message-displayed/) * [Avi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avi25/) * (@avi25) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mail-recevied-but-no-success-message-displayed/#post-17829148) * Hello [@louislemasson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/louislemasson/) * Sorry for the delay and thanks a lot for giving the detailed related to the issue you’re facing. * I’ve escalated this to my team, and in the meantime, can you help me with the error log so that we can dig deep into finding the root cause? * Thanks, Avi * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Gutena Forms – Contact Form, Survey Form, Feedback Form, Booking Form, and Custom Form Builder] Forms block in Gutenberg](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-block-in-gutenberg/) * [Avi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avi25/) * (@avi25) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forms-block-in-gutenberg/#post-17822687) * Hi [@paaljoachim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paaljoachim/) * Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Our team thoroughly investigated the issue and suspects it may be due to a configuration problem on your site. Upon analyzing the issue, we found that something on your website is preventing the QSM plugin’s JavaScript from loading, causing the button to disappear from your form. * We tested a similar scenario using a cookie plugin like yours. After excluding the QSM script from the scan, we observed that everything worked properly. I recommend trying to add the QSM script to the “ignore scripts from queue” section in your cookie plugin settings. Below is the script for your reference: * ```wp-block-code wp-content/plugins/quiz-master-next ``` * Let me know if this works. Also, if it does not work for you, I would appreciate it if you could share a screenshot of your cookie plugin’s settings page so that we can replicate your setup and recommend a solution. * Best regards, Avi Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avi25/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/avi25/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
