VIZE Tests – A WordPress Plugin

VIZE Tests is a WordPress plugin that help any site’s owner to create different type of MCQ type tests and quizzes and publish those on their website, by embedding in posts and pages, for their website visitors. Site owners can publish tests for all visitors or they can hide premium tests behind different membership or subscription based access just like any other premium content.

Objective

Core objective was to create a WordPress Quiz Plugin that support questions with multiple answers and multiple pages. It should be easy to manage and easy to embed.

Site visitors should be able to navigate between different test pages using next and previous buttons. Site visitors should also be able to review test answers and see explanation for incorrect answers. Site visitors should also be able to share final test score on different social media websites with a link to test itself. Test questions should be randomized for each new test attempt.

Site owner should also be able to clone tests and all test data including questions, answers and any image assets.

Solution

My solution was to create a plugin that consists of two different modules:

A WordPress Admin to manage tests, questions and answers
A Shortcode to embed a test in a post or page and publish it on a WordPress website to conduct different type of practice and actual multiple choice type tests.

VIZE Tests Admin Features

Here is a short list of different available features in WordPress Admin as part of VIZE Tests Admin module.

A menu item and admin page to access and manage all tests.

A menu item and admin page to access and manage all questions.

Result

As result of this WordPress Quiz Plugin my client was able to create and integrate tests and quizzes in at least two of his websites. An effective communication and commitment to my work also earned me a Five star rating from my client. You can see client feedback and review here on Upwork.

A basic version of this plugin without any premium features of cloning, pagination, random ordering of questions, social media sharing is available in WordPress Plugin Directory here.
