    Can we show the limited number of questions but randomly out of total defined questions ?

    Suppose, X Quiz has 100 questions but I want to only display 20 questions randomly. And each time user refresh, the different random 20 questions from 100 questions is displayed.

    Hello Lionel,
    this is something possible. How comfortable are you with editing code?

    if you edit template.php you can add the following line:

    'nopaging' => true,

    to the $args2 array. Line 124. From there you can set the quiz settings by editing the individual quiz settings (HD Quiz -> Quizzes -> your quiz name) and set WP Pagination to 20 (or however many questions you want it to grab from the ‘pool’) and under Advanced Quiz Options, set Randomize Question Order to Yes.

    Hello, thank you for quick reply.

    Yes, I can edit the code. But adding ‘nopaging’ => true, will I be able to grab random 20 questions out of 100?

    If you follow the second set of instructions and set the Pagination to 20 and Randomize Question Order, then it should work.

    Basically, no matter how many questions a quiz has attached to it, each quiz will randomly grab 20 questions.

    Hi,

    I followed the exact instruction as you said. But, adding 'nopaging' => true, still displaying the whole Quiz questions.

    I have total of 10 questions in Quiz 1, I added 'nopaging' => true, to line 125 oftemplate.php and in Quiz Setting, I set WP Pagination to 5 and Randomize Question Order to Yes. However, it’s showing 5 question in the first page and still there is pagination button Next which displays other 5 remaining questions. But what I need is only to display 5 questions.

    Is it possible ?

    I’m honestly surprised that did not work.

    If it’s OK with you, can you send me a link to see the quiz?

    EDIT: I’ve done some testing, and I think I know what the problem is. I’ll do an update and verify tomorrow (it’s 12:30 AM in Ontario!). If it works I’ll let you know and send you an updated version.
