Quiz Content

  • shannonmckinnon · Member ·

    I have a free version of WordPress. Is there any way to put in shortcodes to create quiz content? I know there are plugins that create quizzes but I would need a business account for that, and it is too pricey for me at the moment. I can’t find the add block button for creating shortcode for eg. [/] Thank you for any help or advice you can give me!

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

    I did find the following code but when I put it in the post it just comes out looking exactly like it does here instead of converting to an actual quiz. As you may have gathered, technology is not my strong suit so I may be doing something completely stupid which is why it isn’t working.

    Here’s the code I cut and pasted, but after filling in the question and answer parts it doesn’t work. It just looks exactly like it does below, except with my own questions and answers in it. Any wisdom or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.

    Oh my goodness! The cut and paste above included way too much stuff in it. Again, technology is not my strong suit! The link I copied from is https://wordpress.com/support/quiz-shortcode/

    Got it to work! Not sure how but it’s working.

    Status – Resolved.

    Hi there,

    Glad you were able to sort that out. I just wanted to reply here to suggest that there is an easier way to create quizzes on our site, so you do not have to use such large shortcodes on your site: https://wordpress.com/support/forms/polls/

    There is no code needed, just a free Crowdsignal account.

    Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
