Creating and embedding questions

Creating a new question

Step 1 – create a question pot

Create a Question ‘Pot’. Question pots are a way of grouping your individual questions, by topic or difficulty.
You can skip this step if you have an existing pot you want to use

“Quiz Tool Pro > Add new pot”

Give your pot a name e.g. ‘Heart questions’ and click ‘Publish’

Step 2 – Add a question to the pot

Click on ‘Add a question to this pot’

You can also do this directly from the Pot list using the ‘Add question’ button

Step 3 – Select your question type

Select the question type – for more help with this view the overview of question types

Step 4 – Edit the question

Add your question text, response options and correct / incorrect feedback. When you have finished click the ‘Publish’ button.

Adding a question to a page

WordPress uses ‘Shortcodes’ to insert advanced functionality in specific locations on any page. The Quiz tool Pro makes use of this functionality

Step 1 – Locate the shortcode

After you’ve created your question look for the ‘Question Shortcode’ box. This will be in the format [ek-question id=XXX]

You can also view this on the question overview page in the ‘Shortcode’ column (shown below)

Step 2 – Copy the shortcode

COPY this shortcode, including the square brackets.

Step 3 – Paste the shortcode

Open the page you want to add the question to, or create a new page and PASTE the shortcode in the location you want the question to appear.

That’s it!

You can add as many questions to a page as you want.
