    Hi there,

    This plugin is exactly what I needed! I just created a test that I want to show on the homepage on a particular place. I looked for a shortcode, but couldn’t find one.

    You explain:

    “Tests are treated for WordPress like posts — they appear on home page and inside their categories pages if selected. But if you don’t want your test to appear on home page you can uncheck “Publish on the home page” in “Publish” metabox and this particular test will not appear on homepage.”

    But I don’t want to use categories and tags. I just want to make it appear on 1 spot. (And by the way: when I select ‘show on homepage’ and hit the save button and Ctrl+F5 on the homepage, nothing changes.)

    I’d really love to take a look at the test, so I can judge if I compiled it correctly.

    Hi @hvh!

    As I understand from you message, you have a bug on your side related to “Publish on the homepage” checkbox?

    Let’s try to debug it:

    * try switch theme to some default and check if bug repeats; return to current theme
    * try to disable all other plugins and check if bug repeats; enable them back

    Also:

    * which WP version do you use?

    Hi Ustimenko,

    Thanks for your response. Well… that’s not exactly the problem. Although I can’t publish it on the homepage, I want to place/embed it on a spot I choose. So I expected a shortcode but I can’t find one. So… the problem is a bit more complicated.

    I use the latest WP version.

    Hi Ustimenko,

    Today I had time to try out your tips: another theme did not make the test show up. I deactivated all plugins except yours and still was nowhere to be found.

    How can I make my test visible?

    Any help is very much appreciated!

    Have a nice day.

    This plugin is the ONLY ONE that does the job I need to be done, but now I can’t publish it… :-\

    The easiest, safest, fastest and most secure (no crashes with themes and plugins) way to solve this is with a shortcode.

    @hvh,

    As an ugly workaround you can create post and copy-paste there your test’s description.

    Then add to the bottom some HTML like:

    <form action="/test/your-tests-url"><button>Work, you stupid program!</button></form>

    Regarding your concrete case: can you send me your admin area access details with some temp admin login — I will try to debug it. It’s possibly some bug there or some combination of conditions, that another users could have. I just need to find a repeatable conditions — then I will be able to fix it (if this is actually a bug).

    Hi,

    Yes, I’d love to give you access. To what e-mail address can I send the details? (I won’t publish them in this thread, of course.)

    Regarding the workaround: I’m not sure I understand this correctly, but since you’re going to look at it, I’ll wait for those test results before trying.

    hi!

    You can remove those temp admin details.

    So as I see now — you have a static page on your home — not default WP’s “last posts”.

    Currently it’s impossible to do it by some settings (also there is no shortcode yet). So only option you haev in the result — is those workaround with just simple HTML-form that will redirect you to the test page.

    In the meantime I will change beahviour and will check if this actually possible to “Put on homepage”.

    Thanks for looking at the website. I’ll remove the admin account.

    The workaround… what is the exact code of the test description that I need to use? And about adding the url to the bottom: what is this /test doing there? What exactly do I need to add at the bottom?

    Put somewhere just what you want to have there. Shortcodes is a way to automate something. Just do same in manual way — paste your test’s description or any other text and add below those form’s HTML code with labels that you want to have there.

    Regarding “/test/” part — it’s a starting part of any test’s URL. Open your test and find your URL from the browser.

    If you still in doubt — paid support is available.

    Hi to all. Done in 0.17

    Now system checks if it’s possible to publish test on homepage.

    Also shortcodes added (it’s more interesting).
