show test questions in 2 colums

Hi,

Welcome to QSM Support Forum.

You need to put %BLANK% in the questions for the fill in the blanks question type. You can refer to this article: https://quizandsurveymaster.com/docs/about-quiz-survey-master/question-types/ for more information.

You can purchase any addon to fulfil your requirements. Here is a complete list of our addons: https://quizandsurveymaster.com/addons/

wait a minute, this is not resolved by a long shot. I’m still trying to get my site to work but I’m running into so much issues that I don’t even know where to start. My question was to get 2 lists of multiple choice answers for 1 question. So 2 answer lists, not about how to get a fill in the blanks spot. I would love to continue to try to fix this but I’m stuck with a lot of different issues atm:

First of all if I duplicate a test and try to change the duplicate, the test which was duplicated gets changed as well. So the duplicate test button is basically useless.

Even worse, I bought your plug ins and I copied a test from 1 wordpress install to another install. It’s a test with 21 questions. When I changed the first 7 the last 7 get overwritten as well, like they are the same questions.

If I use “text answers” and try to style a question, like give it a span class e.g. <span class=”1″>answer</span>, the span tags disappear after saving. The styling does show up on the site. However if I want to change something about a question I have to rewrite all answers since if I press save, the span tags are not there and it will also be saved like that.

If I use rich answers and I save a question, the answers disappear completely after saving. They show up on site however but again I have to rewrite all answers if I want to change something to the question

the progress bar doesn’t work when the questions per page is not on 0. So if I want to have 1 question per page and a progress bar I have to create separate pages for each question. So I decided to change my tests to put every question on a separate page, however then the progress bar also then doesn’t work. It only works if you initially create the test with every question on a single page and never change the questions per page number.

Another issue is that after clicking results it takes a while before I’m able to scroll down the page. It seems to be loading then and it’ll move the page back to top if I try to scroll down.

So I’m sorry I didn’t react sooner but I’m running into so many extremely frustrating issues that I kinda shifted my focus from getting that one test to work, to simply getting my website running.

Hi,

I have forwarded your issue to the development team. We will get back to you soon.

Hi,

These are our replies to your queries,

My question was to get 2 lists of multiple choice answers for 1 question.

This is not possible, the plugin is build to have one list of multiple choice per question.

First of all if I duplicate a test and try to change the duplicate, the test which was duplicated gets changed as well. So the duplicate test button is basically useless.

It is possible to duplicate a question. Perhaps you are doing it wrong. Please see my screen-cast.

If I use “text answers” and try to style a question, like give it a span class e.g. <span class=”1″>answer</span>, the span tags disappear after saving. The styling does show up on the site. However if I want to change something about a question I have to rewrite all answers since if I press save, the span tags are not there and it will also be saved like that.

This is because www.ads-software.com plugin administrators requires our plugin to “sanitize” the input which will remove your html tag.

If you view your quiz webpage source code, you can see that a quiz question has unique css class name which includes the id. For example question-section-id-174

You can style your question using this classname

If I use rich answers and I save a question, the answers disappear completely after saving. They show up on site however but again I have to rewrite all answers if I want to change something to the question

There is no problem with using rich text answers. Answers do not disappear after saving. Please see my screen-cast

Your issue is most likely cause by a plugin conflict.

Another issue is that after clicking results it takes a while before I’m able to scroll down the page. It seems to be loading then and it’ll move the page back to top if I try to scroll down.

This is definitely caused by a plugin or theme conflict.
Please use the following steps to check for plugin conflict.

1) Please clear any server cache or cache plugin’s cache content and disable it.

2) Next proceed to disable one plugin at a time, and clear your browser history before re-visiting your issue and check if it’s working properly.

3) Do this until you are able to identify the plugin that’s causing your conflict.

If you are not able to find a conflicting plugin, you can proceed to check whether it’s an issue with your theme.

1) You can start by clearing any server cache or cache plugin’s cache content and browser history after activating any WordPress default theme.

2) Next proceed to your issue and check if it’s resolved and working properly. If yes, that will be the theme that is causing conflict.

Hi,
thanks for the elaborate reply, however my problems are not fixed, the problems actually got worse, in the below videos you can see 2 of the issues:

the scroll problem:
scroll problem video
Disabling all plug ins, clearing all caches and moving to a standard theme made the problems worse. By the end of the test, I’m just trying to scroll down the entire time and the screen just gets pushed back for quite a while. As you can see suddenly it stops and I can scroll down again.

rich text problem video
here already you can see that my rich text field looks different then yours and also it really doesn’t work. After saving the content has disappeared. It’s not too big of an issue since I don’t use rich text answers anyway however I hope the different appearance might give you an idea what the problem is.

Also I noticed the only question you didn’t answer is the question about the progress bar. The original question was:

“the progress bar doesn’t work when the questions per page is not on 0. So if I want to have 1 question per page and a progress bar I have to create separate pages for each question. So I decided to change my tests to put every question on a separate page, however then the progress bar also then doesn’t work. It only works if I initially create the test with every question on a single page and never change the questions per page number.”

But what’s strange is that quizzes in which the progress bar works, there are no scrolling issues and questions seem to be loaded much faster.

Hi,

I suggest you to use QSM plugin on a staging website without other third party plugin and with a WordPress default theme.

This way, you will know how QSM plugin works and will be able to identify a conflict on your live site.

In the first video it is clearly shown that that is exactly what I did. Also I explain this in the message above. It didn’t solve the problems it makes it worse.

Hello,

Why did you stop responding? I included 2 videos in my post from 2 weeks ago in which I show I did exactly as you asked. I disabled all plug ins and enabled a standard theme. Still the issues are there.

Furthermore I show a different rich text issue which might give you an idea of the problem.

Your first answer is to tell me to do exactly what I did and when I tell you I did that you stop responding alltogether. So what’s the deal here?

Also please elaborate on the progress bar issue.

best regards,
Fiboni

Hi there,

I apologize but I missed your previous reply, hence the delay. We recently released 6.4 version of the plugin. Please make sure to update the plugin and see if the problem resolves or not.

Kind regards,
Kriti

Dear Kriti,

I’m very sorry it took a while for my reply. At the moment I am a bit scared to update to a newer version because I don’t have a lot of time, so if something goes wrong I can’t fix it very fast and our website will be down completely. I just wanted to let you know I did not forget about this message and I will update our QSM version in a week or so. I’ll get back to you then with the result.

Best Regards,
Fiboni

Hi Kriti,

I tried updating the plug in, nothing happened. I still have the issues I had before. So what to do now?

kind regards,
Fiboni
