how to indicate the number of expected responses

You can simply include it as a part of the question.

If you want to enforce it, you will need the Pro version.

That’s what I did, thank you very much. Do you know if there is a possibility to force the user to give only the number of expected answers? Because some people check all the answers, both the good and the bad, and still win the points. I would like a mistake not to bring points. Thanks again for your help.

Limiting the number of selections is possible in the Pro version. The free Watu does not have this feature.

One workaround for the free Watu quiz is to assign negative points to the wrong answers. This will punish the user for just selecting everything to get the points.

Thank you very much. Does the free version allow the creation of open questions please?

Yes

I can’t set up this type of question. They ask for answers to be provided even if I check “essay”. I tried many times without success. Do you have a tutorial I could follow?

The answers of the essay question are optional, you don’t have to provide them.

When I write the question, that I choose the “essay” option and that I do not enter at least one answer in the boxes below it does not want to save the question. No question appears in the quizzes since it does not validate it. Could you be more explicit on how to do it, guide me because I am short of time. that would be nice

Sorry, my mistake – just add some answer there. It won’t be shown on the front-end but is required by the system to know whether the essay answer should be marked as correct or wrong.

Please experiment with the different settings yourself.

I added the question text, made it mandatory. Mentioned that it was an essay. Added 3 possible answers and checked 1 or 2 boxes (I tried several times). When I validate it and go back to the quizzes it says “no questions found”. It’s a bit annoying

I just tested it locally and could not reproduce any of your problems:

a) The essay question does not require answers

b) No problems saving questions

You can try to enable SQL debug mode from the Watu Quiz settings page to see if there will be any errors. Unfortunately we cannot provide one-on-one support for the free plugin. If you see an error, please let me know – otherwise you either need Pro or to find someone to have a look inside your WP admin and debug it in place.
