I don’t know of an alternative to wp_editor that returns the output. There probably isn’t one because the editor is a lot of different stuff, JS files get loaded to support it, it’s probably a mixture of templates and JS to render as well. Anyway the solution I’d use is PHP output buffering with ob_start(), ob_get_contents(), ob_end_clean(). What this does is allow you to store the output rather than have it print/echo out immediately. It’s a valuable tool to know as well because it’s used all the time in template output, when template files are loaded often the file is required/included but the code is stored with output buffering and printed later.

ob_start();
wp_editor( $settings );
$editor = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

At this point you have all the code stored in the variable $editor, print it when/where you need it. I haven’t actually tried this with wp_editor() but in principle it should work unless there is some complication involving the javascript.

I’d suggest searching for a “Store Locator” plugin I think there are many of them and they tend to work the way you describe. That example is a nice map but I think that is a fairly customized Google Maps and frankly if a novice to building webpages, customizing a google map might be a bit out of reach unless your really up for a challenge and some JS work. That being said, some of the free store locator plugins might have options for different Google Map themes that pretty good… it’s the selecting each individual state that seems unlikely to find in a free plugin.

This question is too vague you’re asking about a general concept (mobile-friendliness) instead of focusing on what the specific issue is. The only significant flaw I see in testing the main page was that the title disappears from view.

The theme is as other mentioned mobile-friendly, in fact highly optimized for mobile. If you want to add a specific mobile feature, you need to communicate exactly what that feature is.

As you do custom styling and change sizes, test the mobile view right away so you can avoid “breaking” mobile support.

Seems like a very harsh accusation by @jdembowski (are you trying to game the search?) when all the developer asked was why the keyword searches were not working. His keyword list seems reasonably relevant to the plugin topic. It is an interesting topic because knowing how the search works is important, just as it’s important with search engines. I’m sure it would not be a great thing if developers started doing some kind of SEO (or gaming the system) but knowing what factors weigh more heavily in the search could help give developers direction on where to focus.

I’ll share that with my newest plugin (QuizMaster) it appears in the quiz category, and under some searches. There are about 5-pages of results, and at least in the categorization they are ranked by installs. So what the moderators are telling you @dazzlersoft makes a lot of sense, focus on getting your installs up starting with at least using the plugin on your own site. Then perhaps invite some people you know to use it, at least to try it out… try to build some awareness via your own site or social media to get those first 10-20 installs. Notice that the count of installs is stepped, I’m not sure what the first step is, but there is a 20+ step and plugins with that many installs seem to show up. Of course if you’re in a busy category you’ll need a lot more to get to the first page or top ranking.

It would be interesting to see a blog post or a documentation for developers section that discusses plugin/theme searches, ranking weights, what is and isn’t factored in, and it would be a good place to put any restrictions related to gaming the search as a reference.

Yes, we work with WP Pro Quiz a lot and built an add-on called WP Pro Quiz Completed that displays all historical quiz stats to the quiz taker. We’re not allowed to share any links here or say anything promotional, so if you want to discuss further please contact via my profile which has our website link.

The way I see building this feature as an addon (without touching the WP Pro Quiz files) is to make a shortcode like [wpproquiz_question]. If you include a question ID like [wpproquiz_question id=6] then it shows that question. Otherwise it tries to load the question from a get param so you could link to the page example.com/question/8 and that would load question with ID 8. And I suppose if you visit example.com/question/ it would just say a warning message “No Question ID Found”. It’s tough to support a slug in an addon without hacking the core files because WP Pro Quiz doesn’t have a hook like “question_saved” that we could tap into in order to generate a slug.

Brian, because WP Pro Quiz uses custom database tables (not wordpress posts) for it’s questions, the only way to get the questions is to load them. There is no slug, or single view or anything that would come automatically if the developer was using WP posts. So the short answer is, unless you code it, there is no way to view a single question.

Also the code for displaying a question is a mile long because there are so many different answer types, and normally questions are only displayed when loaded into a quiz first. To extend and rewrite the view classes to enable displaying a single question will be quite a bit of work.

Michiel, for showing different messages based on scores see the “graduations” on the quiz edit page. You can setup various graduations, for example 50%, 70%, 90%.

I’m not sure what you meant about “and combinations”, but the graduation feature is only triggered by different scores.

What do you mean by “allowable variable” and can you explain something about the context? It sort of sounds like your asking what the user taking the quiz can enter? But I don’t know what you mean by “allowable variable”. What you can setup as wrong answers, also varies based on answer type.
