HD Quiz

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 44% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Hello, i’d like to make a Quizz wizz Weighted answer and “Select all that apply” type of answer, but “Weighted cases” only appears when “Multiple choice text” is selected, so , it’s impossible to select mulitples answers…Does this option needs “Pro” version , and is does the result of the quizz will appears as the “sum” of each “weight” insted of percentage..Another question, is , is i possible to put the “Results” page in the WebSite or does it only can appears on dashboard.Thanks

   Dear [Plugin Developer’s], I hope you’re doing well. I’m using your HD Quiz plugin and I need some help customizing the appearance of the quiz content. Specifically, I would like to change the font and adjust the line height for the quiz questions and answers. Could you please guide me on how I can: Change the font family for the questions and answers? Adjust the line height between the lines of text (questions and answer options) to improve readability? I have tried modifying the settings in the theme’s typography section, but the changes don’t seem to apply to the quiz. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance! This topic was modified 9 months, 1 week ago by mehdis6211.

   I’ve been using HD Quiz, but unfortunately, I’m not completely satisfied with it. While it works for simple quizzes, it lacks essential features like question search, which makes managing large quizzes difficult. Additionally, its compatibility with caching plugins like WP Rocket is not great, causing performance issues. Overall, it feels too basic for more advanced use cases. I hope future updates improve its functionality and integration with other plugins. This topic was modified 1 year, 5 months ago by Navid.

   This quiz plugin is great, but if there is a way to add sound effects for correct and incorrect answers in the next update, please try. Thanks.

   Dylan has put together a master piece! I love the plethora of settings for each quiz/question allowing for a tailored experience. Tool-tips, WP-media, before question text, and separate question type on the same quiz. HD Quiz even has an option to allow authors to create quizzes which is quite a treat for community participation. Support has been fantastic addressing every question I had including a complex one that no other quiz plugin in WP supports. You can have a quiz for the login form with a question that is easy for humans but hard for spammers due to the results ability to show shortcode items and allowing multiple answers. I love the ability to place quizzes inside of posts and anywhere I want via shortcodes. These are just some of the many possibilities and loved features of HD Quiz. HD Quiz comes highly recommended!
