[Plugin: mTouch Quiz] new update broke mine

I’m sorry that you’re having issues. I know this is a terrible thing to say, but I fear this is because I changed all the CSS namespacing and your browser may be using an old cached version. Can you provide a link? I run this plugin on several sites I manage and don’t have any issues.

Please make sure your theme is not taking away the CSS either. I have seen an install on a Carrington Mobile theme which did just that. But my guess is that’s not your issue since it would be blocking the old CSS too. What theme do you use? I am happy to help as much as I am able.

Hello. Thanks so much for your replies and great plugin. I don’t know what the issue was but it’s working now after a few deletes and such. I guess maybe it was the cache but didn’t think so before. I am having an issue with this huge top margin of white space before the quiz title and subsequent quiz are displayed. I’ve been digging around the css for hours trying to fix and cannot. Any ideas as to what this is? Many thanks for your help if you have time.

If you give me a link to the post with the quiz, I will gladly help you sort the CSS issue out and make it better.

Oh, thanks so much. You can see that I’ve started to tweak the CSS but am having a hard time controlling margins.

I’m still digging at so I can save you the trouble and I’m thinking it’s the p and br tags that are being created while rendering the pages (I see them in the source code) . Specifically, it’s the huge top margin above the quiz title, big top margin in the start quiz button and the space below it that I’m trying to minimize, but I can’t find the origin anywhere.

Could it be those tags being generated somehow as opposed to the css perhaps?

First off I love the colors you’ve got going on there!

Secondly, what is cufon? That seems to have inserted all those spaces and such which is definitely your problem. Perhaps its something your theme does? Or some other plugin?

Also, how are you modifying the CSS? I see my style sheets loaded in your header twice. This should not happen unless you’ve done something you shouldn’t have… You should modify the CSS by putting your changes in YOUR style files for your THEME and not the plugin…

Cufon is a font enabler in html5. I disabled it but the issue remains…hmmm…and yes, I have been modifying css in wrong place (thanks!). And thanks for your time, i really appreciate it. I’ll keep at it and if I can find out what’s causing it (if it’s not cufon and I don’t think it is) I’ll let you know what it was.

The next place I would check is what you have saved as your “Start Screen” and “Final Screen” to see if they are somehow full of extra marks. I’ve not seen this before. Something is adding extra paragraph breaks inside the quiz area.

Thanks, I looked at my parameters and tried some things to no avail. The real problem now is that I switched themes to see what happened and it worked perfectly and I got to see how great your new changes are. Really nice. So this is going to drive me crazy trying to figure out what my theme is doing to this. I turned off other plugins of course and that didn’t do it. I don’t know, do you think maybe it’s a jquery conflict? I did notice that when showing correctly that the first question displays after you push the start button as you would expect it to….on my broken version the first question is displayed under the start button before one begins. I’m all messed up in other words. If you do think of anything please do pass it along and, as always, thank you.

Hey, good news…kinda….I found after hours of looking that the issue lies in my themes function.php file..specifically these lines:

// Remove the 2 main auto-formatters

remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’);

remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wptexturize’);

// Before displaying for viewing, apply this function

add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘webtreats_formatter’, 99);

add_filter(‘widget_text’, ‘webtreats_formatter’, 99);

it seems though, that if I alter them at all my theme breaks and I get an error. Any ideas…. I hope?

I really wish I could help with that, but I’m not familiar with your theme. Find the support forum for your theme and ask them about it. If your theme doesn’t have a support forum, find another theme!

If you ever want to know how a quiz is supposed to look, I have quite a few demo quizzes with various options on the website at

But of course, I more than understand…thought I’d ask just in case. Thanks again for such great work and for your help here!
