Good Plugin for Hidden Answer Quiz

by Kissington·4 years ago

I am using this plugin for Hidden Answer Quiz.
After searching around, I discovered this is the only WordPress Hidden Answer plugin in the market, perfect for Hidden Answer Quiz, Reveal Hidden Coupon code, Hide and Reveal FAQs and so on. Initially, I was looking for something like a scratch off sticker that is used on coupon sites like savings.com, but this plugin does the job of hiding answers as well, so it’s a good option.

I hope the developer will add more features such as a multiple choice quiz which is linked to the hidden answer. In this case, the hidden answer should not be revealed unless the user completes the multiple choice question by selecting/guessing/putting his or her own answer.

Five Stars

Very nice to work with —- once you get a feel for how it works.

Exceptionally well-coded and will do just about anything you need it for.

Good for text show/hide. has colored buttons.

Does what it says but doesn’t play well with elementor GUI editor

by omnialive·5 years ago

I installed and used this plugin on a site I am admin for. They use Elementor for their page edits and I find it is a capable enough editor. However, I am not able to use the GUI components of this Show-Hide plugin within the text editor of Elementor. I was able to manually add the shortcode with options and get the desired effect…including hiding photos, etc. So, 5 stars for that and 6 stars if you get the GUI button to show up in Elementor editor!
