cant create a quiz

Hi Dejan,
this definitely sounds like a specific issue with your site/server setup, especially since there were no differences or changes between 1.8.6 and 1.8.12 (the latest version of that branch of HD Quiz) with how new quizzes are created. Are you using any plugins or anything that affect user permissions?

Are you getting an error message or anything like that? What actually happens when you try to add a quiz?

Can you let me know the following?

• Do you have anything on your site that changes or modifies user permissions?
• Do you only have an issue creating a new quiz, or is there also an issue when creating a new question, or editing an existing quiz?
• Is your site using HTTPS (SSL Certificate)?

Another thing you can do is to view the browser console. This can be done by going to the HD Quiz page and pressing F12. Your browser will open a new panel – just make sure that “console” is selected to see the logs.

Now, with the console open, try to create a new quiz. Take note of any messages (especially ones in red) that appear there.

Thanks for the response. For the console output, I’d expect to see actual text, not just references to the JavaScript file.

For example, here is what my console looks like after saving a quiz.

The line Object { status: "success", "quizID: .....} in particular is the response when the quiz saves. If there is an error, I’d expect that status to say “fail”, or at worse, show in red with a generic server error. If you try again and it says “fail” instead of “success”, you can click on the line to expand it to see an actual error message of what is going wrong.

Can you verify that the user you are using to create quizzes has the following capabilities?

• manage_options
• publish_posts

And also let me know if you have the “Allow authors access to create quizzes” enabled or not (found on the HD Quiz → Settings page).

My original instinct was that this is a user permissions error, and finding out that you do indeed have a membership plugin is a good sign that this is the issue. You may have played around with the default WordPress user permissions/capabilities in the past and broken some standardized stuff without realizing.

If so, please take a look at the user account you are logged in with and take a look at your membership plugin to make sure you have the required permission/capabilities.
