Adding a Question

To create a question and assign it directly to a quiz, go to the list of questions of a quiz:

And click the Add Question button.

Create/Edit Question Page

You will reach the Create/Edit Question page. It works just the same as when editing a post.

There are 2 types of questions:

• Correct answer type
• Flash card type

It can be chosen in the Check type for your question metabox. When choosing a certain type, different input areas will appear in the editor.

Let's consider both types of questions.

Correct Answer Type

The form for this type of question is:

1. The title represents the question.
2. The description will be displayed following the question. It can contain rich formatting, such as images and links.
3. Choose the Correct answer type of questions.
4. Manage answers in the Answers panel. Every question needs at least one answer. Trying to Publish or Update a question that has no answer set will result in an error message. It's possible to choose many correct answers - all of them will have to be selected in order to answer the question correctly. 

5. You can add an Answer Explanation that can contain text and image. It will be displayed in the results table to give the user more information about the correct answer. The field also accepts HTML. Note: this option was introduced in version 1.2.0.

   

Flash Card Type

The form for this type of question is:

1. The title represents the question.
2. Choose the Correct answer type of questions.
3. Post your image for flash front-card - This area accepts media and text content. This content will be displayed as a front part of the card. Have a note that if you add an image, it should be square to fit for the best view.
4. Post your image for flash back-card - This area accepts media and text content. This content will be displayed as a back part of the card. Have a note that if you add an image, it should be square to fit for the best view.

Metaboxes

Both question types have the same sets of metaboxes.

Order Metabox

The metabox Order allows you to define in which order the cards will appear in the quiz by defining an order number for each card.

Priority Metabox

In case if you limit the amount of questions in the quiz and they are displayed randomly, you can increase the chance of appearing a question in a quiz by defining a higher value in the metabox Priority.

Quizzes Metabox

In the metabox Quizzes you need to select quizzes where the question should be displayed.

Publish Metabox

The metabox Publish. contains a standard post information which you can manage: status, visibility, revisions and the publish date. This metabox also contains a shortcut to the list of questions of the main quiz, and here you can publish, update or remove the question.
