Button Go back

comment

HI,
I have a quiz set to display one question at a time, I would like to know if it is possible to go back to answer previous questions if you have not answered them.

Hi Elena,
sorry for the late reply. I was up north for a few days.

Please note that this code/feature is NOT supported and that it may not work with all existing features or question types. For example, for your use case, adding in a back button will allow a user to go back to the previous question/page, but since the question has already been marked, the user will not be able to change their answer.

I coded a simple version for another user that can be found here:

I just did a quick look over and this should still work with the current version of HD Quiz, even though I wrote this code 4 years ago!

You’ll need to add that code to your theme’s functions.php file (/wp-content/themes/name-of-your-theme/functions.php). That code will hook into HD Quiz and add some custom javascript to the page to add in a new BACK button. BACKUP THE FILE FIRST. If you accidentally make a mistake adding the code, it will crash your site, so make sure you have a backup of functions.php before making any changes (best place to make these changes is from your host’s file manger).

The line data = 'BACK'; is where the HTML for the new “back” button is. I bring this up because I know your site is in another language, so you’ll need to change BACK to whatever translation works best for you.
