In reply to: [Wp-Pro-Quiz] Statistics@mrjive I agree with @nsaral that this is a known bug, not sure what causes it exactly, possibly a PHP that happens when the emails are being sent out. Stopping the emails seems to solve it.
I’ve built QuizMaster (new plugin based on WP Pro Quiz) and we made the emails a post type (quizmaster_email) partly to solve this, as well as rebuilding the statistics system. Currently we still save the quiz score at completion, but that’s actually not a stable design. We have plans to change it so that the quiz score is saved when the user starts the quiz. And every time they answer a question, we’ll update that score. That also helps to support features like start a quiz, leave and return to finish it. And it helps prevent cheating on quizzes that should only be taken once, like exams. We have a school system planning to use QuizMaster, so we are taking steps like this to prevent cheating and to support more formal testing. If a users internet connection fails for example we don’t want to lose their partially completed quiz.
I’m very interested in seeing your language learning site. Are you familiar with DuoLingo? We are building a theme for QuizMaster based on DuoLingo, it’s a child theme for TwentySeventeen.
@statskats I’ve sent you an email through your website about possibly trying QuizMaster where I think we can support this (it’s a new plugin based on WP Pro Quiz, see wordpress.org/plugins/quizmaster).
Added a ticket for this feature at https://github.com/goldhat/quizmaster/issues/118

In reply to: [Wp-Pro-Quiz] Facebook Quiz is not workingThe facebook quiz? What is that? I’m not familiar with any social integrations for WP Pro Quiz… is it a quiz you setup on your site or your running the quiz on Facebook?

In reply to: [Wp-Pro-Quiz] Multilevel quizzesThis is an interesting feature idea! In the fork of WP Pro Quiz (QuizMaster) we’re adding an improved Graduations. Currently in WP Pro Quiz there are graduation levels but they are only used to display different messages. In QuizMaster we removed those graduation levels, because we wanted to make the core plugin simpler. We’ll be replacing that feature with an extension that provides the ability to define different “Grades” such as 70%, 80%, 90% etc. In addition to a unique message based on grades, these grades can be used as prerequisites. As you pointed out @nsaral currently prerequisites in WP Pro Quiz only check if the user took the quiz at all, not if they achieved a passing grade.
We also are building into this an extension for awarding certificates based on passing grades. So the idea of “Grading” is very important to support other features.

In reply to: [Wp-Pro-Quiz] Share results on facebook@nsaral good to hear from you my friend! QuizMaster core plugin does not support WP Pro Quiz questions or quizzes, but there is a migration plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/quizmaster-migrate/) that does that. You can export the quizzes from WP Pro Quiz (XML format only), then import them into QuizMaster.
The QuizMaster Migrate plugin is very new, it may not handle all the data properly. It depends what features you use in your quizzes and questions. We’re still working on it, with new versions released every 2-weeks.
Currently we can’t import statistics, only the Quizzes and Questions. We’re trying to get funding from our investors to build the Statistics importer. You know how the statistics system was having some issues? We rebuilt it completely, we use WP Custom Posts now, the post type is Quiz Scores. That’s a lot more reliable.
Answer box size could probably be solved by using CSS to set the width/height. As far as code in the question, I’d have to see the results to know the result, never tried that myself. Does it present the code in a pre tag?

In reply to: [Wp-Pro-Quiz] Share results on facebookThis plugin is not under active development AFAIK the developer hasn’t replied to any support requests in at least 6-months. I’d expect if he does resurface, he would need to do a lot of bug fixes and release an update before looking at new features. Could be wrong, but having tried to reach him directly for the past year, I have never gotten a reply.
There is a forked and rebuilt version of WP Pro Quiz called QuizMaster which is available at https://wordpress.org/plugins/quizmaster/. I’ve added social sharing to the list of possible features for it.
Anyone else interested in this feature please comment here to voice your interest.

In reply to: How to make twenty-seventeen theme mobile friendly?Also don’t remove styles/rules from the base theme CSS, again those will be overwritten again later if you ever update that theme. And it won’t really help you get the results, because you’re likely to remove something that is needed somewhere else. The way CSS works is rules can be overwritten, even though the base stylesheet has:
.has-header-image .custom-header-media img, .has-header-video .custom-header-media video, .has-header-video .custom-header-media iframe { position: fixed; }You can replace that rule later with:
.has-header-image .custom-header-media img, .has-header-video .custom-header-media video, .has-header-video .custom-header-media iframe { position: relative; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to make twenty-seventeen theme mobile friendly?First off good for you in learning how to open inspector, good first step in becoming a developer 🙂 Just realize that’s a testing tool only, you can’t save the changes, the purpose is to evaluate which rules are creating which results on the page. So what you do is experiment with the rules, identify which rules such as “position: fixed;” are causing a problem, and try different settings there. If you can get the page looking how you want through inspector, take note of what you did to create the changes.
As I said when I tested your page, the rules I had to change to get it working the way you described was the rules I posted earlier. Now you have to store those CSS changes in your style.css or in a child theme. You can at least temporarily, post them into style.css of the theme, but just understand that is not recommended as a permanent solution because later that theme if you update it, will be updated and your changes will be lost. That is why we use child themes to make changes… also some premium themes offer a place in the WP Admin where you can add custom CSS rules.
See https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes about how to make a child theme. It’s not that complicated if your goal is just customizing CSS, you basically make a folder under themes, add style.css with a child theme definition, then put all custom CSS in that same file. Then you can safely update the parent theme, and anytime you want to make more customization you edit your child theme.
For now try putting those rules I shared before into the bottom of your style.css, then check the page and see how it looks.

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Trying to put Page in full widthBootstrap is a separate stylesheet, but you can add .column to your custom stylesheet. It’s usually better not to override the actual style.css in a base theme, but if you don’t have a child theme just keep those custom styles organized. The thing is if you change the base theme, any updates to the theme later will overwrite your changes.

In reply to: Get user’s url from previous visited siteThere are affiliate tracking plugins that work similarly to this, though they usually track purchasing… something like Affiliate WP https://affiliatewp.com/ should handle the tracking part. You might need to do some custom work to track the contact form submission, unless there is an integration with Gravity Forms or another form plugin that works with Affiliate WP.
After you install Affiliate WP, setup an account to track your referring website. Then give them the tracking code that will be generated and tell them to use it in all their links to your site.

In reply to: How to make twenty-seventeen theme mobile friendly?In the style.css these styles are affecting those elements. The fixed position on the image, if you overwrite that it will scale. With the site title, the top/left properties are moving the text out of view.
It’s helpful to use Chrome Inspector (right-click on the element while viewing the page, choose Inspector). Then view the Styles, you can then edit or uncheck them and view the results. This helps you pick the changes needed.
.has-header-image .custom-header-media img, .has-header-video .custom-header-media video, .has-header-video .custom-header-media iframe { position: fixed; } .site-title { top: -400px; */ left: 220px; */ }Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [QuizMaster] Alternative to ACF Pro for QuizMasterNote that Fields API is not to be confused with the existing project WordPress Fields API that is under development and proposed for core merge. Just discovered it today when the developer asked us about potential naming confusion, we’ll be changing the name of our “Fields API” to something more distinct before release.
