   [[Quiz Maker by AYS] Good plugin, but it has a problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-but-it-has-a-problem/)

 * I checked your plugin again. Please don’t be offended, I have no intention of
   being disrespectful to your work, but it is developed in a very amateur way. 
   Come on guys, there are currently many ways to process data securely. There are
   projects that require maximum security in the management of questions and answers(
   like mine for example). A plugin must be developed responsibly. Locking the browser
   console, right click and source code is not enough. You need to know what you
   are doing to offer a quality product to the public, especially if it is a paid
   plugin.
 * In this case the plugin not only has the flaw that it shows all the answers in
   the source code, but also (and this is incredible) **the source code itself indicates
   the correct answer**. I mean, “answer” – “anser” (??). Man please, this has to
   be a joke.
 * Let’s say a user of your plugin has a project similar to mine (involving cash
   prizes for winners), but doesn’t know anything about web development, installs
   the plugin and opens the contest. One of the participants has a very basic knowledge
   of html. He search the source code and answer all the questions correctly. Result
   of the day: The company goes bankrupt in just hours due to a single user. Do 
   you realize, my friend, how serious it is to release a poorly developed plugin
   to the public?
 * Personally (after an extensive search that lasted more than a week) I did not
   find any plugin that met the requirements of my project, so we spent around 10
   days developing one from scratch. It is fully shielded from any attempts to guess
   the questions through hacking attempts. Of course it does not offer revealing
   information in the source code, nor in $_POST headers. It doesn’t even reveal
   the IDs of the items. Everything is handled in the DB and dynamic ajax with nonce
   checking is used. There’s still a little work left but it looks good so far. 
   If it’s okay for you, we would like to cooperate with you by sending the resulting
   code to your email. As a courtesy of course.
 * I will lower this rating, but will be attentive to future improvements to raise
   it again. All the best.
 * Dario.

   In fact the plugin is quite simple. There’s nothing there that **[@bganush](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bganush/)**
   mentioned, who obviously doesn’t have control of what’s on his/her website, but
   who does like to give downvotes in a lightly and irresponsibly way. 🙁

 * [@maryamait123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maryamait123/), the above
   answer makes sense. It would be great if you could comment on how you did with
   the solution [@tomaszwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomaszwp/) said 
   to give you, and if that answer worked for you, up the points to this rating.
   It’s very important to the developers that you actively participate with your
   feedback and ratings, which sometimes includes going back and changing what needs
   to be changed. It is an act of ethics and responsibility. Of course nobody forces
   you to do that, but it is the main difference between a good user and a spoiled
   troll. Cheers.

 * Hi Averta, thanks to you, glad to see you again. Well, I didn’t talk about lots
   of filters. So far I identified only 2 or 3 functions that requires to be filtered.
   Anyway, the current “`if(function_exists())`” also works for me.

 * Hi beezpo, few weeks ago I had the same problem and solved defining width, height
   and hook point in the slider panel.
 * The successful look in all browsers depends on how are you constructing the slides.
   I mean this is not a desktop app but a web app that depends on a browser to work.
   These glitches happen even in the best web apps, even the best (especially those
   who involve a strong UI management based on javascript resources). So this fact
   requires a little adaptation from our side.
 * When you encounter this kind of issues in the future, take a while to play a 
   little with the elements, so you will realize that what you see on the panel 
   is almost always different from the final result. 😉

 * Got it! I saw that the function has the conditional `if(function_exists())`, 
   so I replaced it with a same name’s function and modified it on a new plugin 
   file. For who is interested, can copy/paste it on the `functions.php` file:
 * [http://pastebin.com/ksTB2zLZ](http://pastebin.com/ksTB2zLZ)
 * The function makes a little change to the option called `"First image in post"`,
   taking the array’s last children attachment (instead taking the first image found
   in article). Setting the image is very easy: simply go to the `"Media uploader
   > Media library > Uploaded to this post"` and drag the selected image to the 
   last position, so it will be automatically assigned as slide image.
 * A little advice to Averta: consider adding more filters to the plugin, specially
   in the critic zones. More filters mean more improvements and more quality extensions.
   Thanks for this plugin, is beautiful.

 * I saw your website. The slider works fine. First try pressing Ctrl + F5 keys (
   instead only F5), so the browser’s cache will be reloaded again. Don’t laugh!
   this simple action has been resolved more issues than we can imagine 😀
 * PS: Just in case, never use a cache plugin while you’re developing.

 * dariodev,
 * Thank you for the missing image solution. Works fine on my end 😀
 * On the other hand, sorry for the time off. I hadn’t seen this post till now.
 * About the “headers sent” error, only appears on PHP 5.2.X and below. On the next
   version I’ll remove all redirections while this issue is not resolved.
 * Thanks again.

 * This is annoying already…
 * I updated the plugin to **another** new version and the old screenshots remain.
 * Is cool to collaborate with WP and the community, but at least would maintain
   a stable platform! My God, what happen with this SVN or my SVN account (or whatever)?

 * Hi mmcginnis,
 * The next version will bring this feature very improved. You’ll love it 😉
 * As you say, we can call the “custom2” size, but still lacks the # setting. So
   the query implies a little complex array. This is the code i’m using:
 *     ```
       if (class_exists('max_image_size_control')) {
       	$wpsi_misc = get_option('max_image_size_control_data');
       	$wpsi_misc = $wpsi_misc['max_image_size'];
       	foreach($wpsi_misc as $key => $misc) {
       	if($misc['everypost'])  $count += $misc['everypost'];
       		for ( $i = 0; $i <= count($key); $i++ ) {
       			if($misc['custom'][$i]['custom_size_w'] and $count == 1)
       			$formulario .= '
       			<option value="custom'. $i .'">'.__('Setting', 'wp-smart-image').' #'. $key .' &raquo; Custom'.$i.': '.$misc['custom'][$i]['custom_size_w'].' x '.$misc['custom'][$i]['custom_size_h'].'</option>';
       		}
       	}
       }
       ```
