FAQ’s
Why are questions not visible under multiple categories listing when the category is selected from the “Question Category” meta box?
The “Question Category” meta-box is used with the default Question category functionality of LearnDash. You’ll have to use the “Multi Question Category” meta-box to use the add-on correctly.
There are no categories displayed when we navigate to LearnDash LMS > Multi-Category Hierarchy.
The categories will be available and visible on the navigation path when multi-categories are configured.
Can I edit or delete Quizzes from the front end once created?
No, the quizzes can only be edited or deleted from the backend.
Can I control which users will access Quiz?
No, the quiz will be public upon its creation, i.e. available for everyone.
Can I check the statistics of the Quiz from the front end?
No, currently you cannot see any statistics from the front end.
How does the addon handle the storage of quizzes created by students in the database?
When a student creates a quiz through our addon, it triggers the creation of a new entry in the database. However, as a precautionary measure to prevent database overload, the system is designed to automatically delete the quiz after 24 hours of its creation. This ensures efficient database management and optimal performance.
