Quiz issue

@serhiishevchenko,

Sometimes when upgrading and installing new plugins / themes WordPress permalinks get out of sync and that can cause 404s like what you’re reporting.

Could you try flushing your permalinks by following this guide: https://lifterlms.com/docs/how-to-flush-wordpress-rewrite-rules-or-permalinks/

After doing that you should be able to access the quiz without issue.

Hope that helps,

@thomasplevy,

Just tried to do that, didn’t help.

Also when I run course builder sometimes I get this kind of permalink to quiz:
https://www.serhiishevchenko.com/?post_type=llms_quiz&p=2372

So what else can you recommend?

@serhiishevchenko,

That kind of link is the *preview* link when the quiz is in draft mode. Quizzes are created as DRAFTS by default and can be toggled to “Published” by clicking the green toggle near the title field for the quiz.

When a quiz is in DRAFT mode it will only be accessible by instructors (or admins) who can edit the quiz, once published, students will be able to access it as well.

I’m wondering if the issue here is that you’re trying to view your quizzes as a student before the quiz has been published. By default WordPress will present 404s for any posts in draft mode that are accessed by users without edit rights. You’ll see this happen for a blog post in draft mode if you try to access it when logged out.

Does that maybe explain what’s going on here?

@thomasplevy,

That explains but doesn’t fix the problem.

I have quiz published and I tried to access it as an admin and as a student and both ways I get error 404.

So maybe Course Builder just can’t publish my quizes or save changes somehow? Or maybe autosave creates some issues?

@serhiishevchenko,

Can you post a copy of your LifterLMS System report please: https://lifterlms.com/docs/how-to-use-the-lifterlms-system-report/

So maybe Course Builder just can’t publish my quizes or save changes somehow? Or maybe autosave creates some issues?

I doubt it.

Are you seeing error messages during saves?

After publishing if you refresh the screen does it still show as published?

Why would autosaving cause an issue here?

@thomasplevy,

Are you seeing error messages during saves?

No.

After publishing if you refresh the screen does it still show as published?

Yes.

Why would autosaving cause an issue

I don’t know but sometimes I see that when I make some changes then “Save changes” button remains the same as if I didn’t make any changes or smth like that.

Yeah sure, hear it is:

@serhiishevchenko,

Quiz and Survey master registers a custom post type with the same url parameters that LifterLMS uses (‘quiz’) and this results in conflicts.

If you require the use of both you can add some custom code to change the url slug that LifterLMS uses for our quizzes:

https://gist.github.com/thomasplevy/f20bd4c615ce63fb51fc9ddbc5cc6b95

This example changes something like yoursite.com/quiz/quiz-slug to yoursite.com/llms_quiz/quiz-slug

After adding that code to your site (in your theme’s functions.php file) you’ll also need to flush your permalinks so they’ll take effect: https://lifterlms.com/docs/how-to-flush-wordpress-rewrite-rules-or-permalinks/

If you don’t need the Q&SM plugin you can disable the plugin, flush permalinks, and the issue should be resolved.

Hope that helps,

@thomasplevy,

Thank you very much.

That helps.
