Run your first exam in 3 simple steps:
- Write questions into the bank - organised by a subject tree and by tags
- Build an exam from sections - pick questions by hand, or describe a pool and let each candidate draw their own paper
- Publish it - people sit it, the plugin marks what it can and hands you the rest
- Fast, Material UI-based admin application
- Seven question types: multiple choice with one answer or several, true/false, short answer, essay, fill in the blanks and picture choice
- Short answers matched case-insensitively, numerically with a tolerance, or against a regular expression
- An explanation on every question, shown after marking, and a rubric on essays
- Pictures in questions and on options, uploaded from the question editor, with a description for people who cannot see them

常见问题:
Q. Can somebody cheat by changing their computer's clock?
No. The deadline is computed and stored on the server when the attempt starts, and every write checks it. The countdown in the browser is decoration.
Q. What happens if I edit an exam while somebody is sitting it?
Nothing, for them. The set of questions, their order, their points and the runner's settings are frozen into the attempt when it starts. Your edit applies to the next person who begins.
Q. Does a pool draw a different paper for each candidate?
Yes. A pool section draws when the attempt starts, and that draw is then frozen for that candidate.
Q. Can people take an exam without an account?
Yes, if you set the exam's access to guest. They give a name and an email, and the plugin identifies them with a signed cookie. No PHP session is used.
Q. Does the runner work without JavaScript?
Yes. It degrades to an ordinary form post, and the learner's pages are server-rendered.
Q. Does it store exams as posts or custom post types?
No. It uses its own database tables, created on activation and removed on uninstall. Questions, attempts and answers are relational data, and storing them as posts and post meta makes every list and report slower as the history grows.
Q. What is the difference between the free and Pro versions?
The free version is a complete exam plugin, neither time-limited nor feature-locked. The premium version is a separate download that adds features; nothing in the free build is disabled, and the free build contains no premium code to unlock. See the Pro features. One number is worth stating plainly rather than leaving you to find it: the free version keeps one certificate design. That is not a locked second design - the designer that draws them is simply not in the free download - and the one you have is fully editable, layout included. Everything a certificate does is free: it is awarded, numbered, rendered and verified exactly as it is in premium.
Q. Is it translation-ready?
Yes, and that includes the parts that are easy to miss. The admin screens, the exam runner your candidates actually sit, the block editor controls, the front-end templates and the notification emails all read from the same text domain (plugixa-exam), so one translation covers the whole plugin rather than the half a visitor never sees. Translations are served by translate.wordpress.org. Once a language has been translated there, WordPress installs it as a language pack and keeps it up to date, with nothing for you to do; until then the plugin reads in English. The plugin ships its template (languages/plugixa-exam.pot) for anybody who would rather translate it themselves: a catalogue you place in wp-content/languages/plugins/ is used as it stands, and tools such as Loco Translate work normally. Two details worth knowing. Dates and numbers follow the site's locale and timezone, not the reader's browser - so an exam that opens at 09:00 says 09:00 to everybody. And notification emails are composed in the language of the person receiving them where the plugin can tell who that is: a learner with a French account gets French dates and a French pass or fail, even when the marker who released the result reads the site in English. The subject and body wording itself comes from the template you edit under Notifications, so that is in whichever language you write it in.
Q. Can one exam be offered in several languages?
Translating the plugin and translating your questions are different jobs: the first is a gettext catalogue, the second is a second version of your content. In the free version a bilingual site needs one exam per language. Premium's multilingual content serves one exam in several languages, so everybody sits the same paper and lands in the same results and item analysis.
Q. Does it need any external service?
Not to run an exam. Everything is read from and written to your own WordPress database. Freemius handles licensing and updates, and three premium features contact nothing until an administrator has entered an address or a key. All four are described under "External services" below.
Q. Where is the source for the JavaScript the plugin loads?

更新日志:
1.1.3
- An exam set to refuse blank answers now refuses them: a paper with an unanswered question is not taken while there is time left. Before, the setting was stored and nothing enforced it.
- Updating a question through the REST API with only some of its fields no longer resets the others. A question could be unpublished this way, and an unpublished question is left off every new paper.
- When results that were held back are released, each candidate whose paper is marked is told.
- Two copies of the plugin installed side by side no longer log PHP warnings, and deleting one of them keeps your exams until the last copy is deleted.
- A number saved in Settings is stored as a number.
- Every REST route now states its permission check where the route is registered, as a call to WordPress's own current_user_can(). Who may do what is unchanged.
- The download no longer carries development files that came with bundled libraries, and a licence file inside one of them has a .txt name.
- Requires PHP 8.2 or later. The library that draws the QR code on certificates was brought up to date, and its current version needs it.
- Security: only the candidate can save, pause or hand in a paper that is in progress. A role allowed to view attempts could do so on somebody else's paper; it can still read results, and nothing more.
- Security: the colours in Settings are checked to be colours when they are saved and again when they are used on a page.
- Security: answers sent from the exam form that works without JavaScript are cleaned for their question type before any other code receives them.
- If a database table cannot be created when the plugin is activated or updated, the plugin now says so: a notice names the table and offers "Try again". It no longer records the update as done.
- Fixed: on a certificate PDF, the QR code and other pictures were drawn in the top-left corner instead of where the design puts them, and a background on a landscape page pushed the code onto a second sheet.
- Fixed: an essay answer containing <, > or & could be stored differently from what the candidate typed. It is now kept exactly as typed.
- Fixed: updating a certificate design through the REST API with only some of its fields emptied the others.
- Fixed: pressing Start on an exam that had just been deleted led to an address with nothing at it. It now goes to the list of exams.
- The WordPress.org download no longer bundles translation files; WordPress installs translations from translate.wordpress.org as they are approved there. The premium download still includes French, Arabic, Spanish and German.
- Premium: AI drafting no longer sends your site's address to the AI provider in the request's User-Agent.
- Premium: the leaderboard block's settings are translated.
- File answers are saved through WordPress's own uploader, so whatever a site attaches to uploads — a security scanner, a storage quota — now applies to handed-in work too. The files stay in their private folder and never appear in the media library.
- Fixed: after the plugin was deactivated or deleted, its addresses — /exams/, /my-exams/, a result, a certificate check — went on answering with the site's home page instead of "not found".
- Fixed: activating the plugin on a site that also runs WooCommerce wrote two "translation loading was triggered too early" notices to the debug log.
- The plugin's translations are registered the way current WordPress expects, with no change to which languages load.
- The download no longer carries a build script from a bundled library.
- New in premium: sell exams through WooCommerce. Switch on "Enrolment required" on an exam and only people who have bought it, or been given access by you, may sit it. Create the product from the exam's new Sales tab, or add an "Exam access" tab to any simple or variable product. Each purchase can last a number of days and include a number of attempts; a variable product can sell 30 days and 90 days at different prices.
- Access follows the order: it starts when the order is paid, stops on a refund, a cancellation or while it is on hold, and comes back if the order is paid again or restored from the trash. What a customer bought is copied onto their order, so later changes to the product never reach back into it.
- Renewing early runs on from the current end date instead of wasting the days left, and is usable at once.
- The exam page shows a price and a Buy button to anybody who may not sit it yet, the catalogue shows the price on the card, the product page lists what is included, and the order confirmation, the order emails and a new My exams tab in the customer's account all link straight into the exam.
- A cart holding an exam requires an account at checkout; exam-only orders complete themselves once paid.
- Refunding a purchase withdraws the certificates it paid for (a setting, on by default); the certificate can be restored.
- New screen: People → Enrolments, to see who holds access to which exam, grant access by hand, change the end date or the attempts, revoke and restore. A new Enrolments permission area in Roles.
- An email reminds learners a few days before their access ends, unless they have already renewed.
- New webhook events: enrolment.granted and enrolment.revoked.
- New webhook event: attempt.regraded, sent when a marker changes the result of an attempt that was already graded, with the result before and after. attempt.graded still fires once per attempt.
- Certificates follow a re-mark: turning a fail into a pass awards the certificate, turning a pass into a fail withdraws it (the verification page then says so), and passing again restores the same certificate with its number. A certificate an administrator withdrew stays withdrawn.
- The Withdraw dialog has a field for the reason it asks for, and the certificate list shows why each certificate was withdrawn.
- LMS bridge: verified end to end against Tutor LMS, LifterLMS and LearnDash 5.1.10.
- LMS bridge: a linked course is completed when a marker turns a fail into a pass, and not before the exam's results are released.
- LMS bridge: a learner who loses access to an exam partway through a paper — unenrolled from the linked course, for example — can no longer save or submit it. Restoring their access lets them carry on where they stopped.
- LMS bridge: the course picker is on the exam's Access tab, searches every course, and warns when the exam's settings mean the link would keep nobody out. A link is checked when it is saved: the course must be published, and a nominated lesson must belong to it.
- LearnDash: an exam limited to a course's learners admits only people LearnDash itself still lets in — no longer anyone whose access has expired or whose group has ended. An Open course cannot be linked, because nobody enrols on it.
- LTI: the score sent back to the LMS gradebook follows a marker's corrections, and waits until the exam's results are released.
- The plugin's entry in the WordPress admin menu is now called "Plugixa Exams".
- An "Exam access" box on WooCommerce's order screen shows what an order holds, with a button to re-sync it.
- Works with the WooCommerce Checkout block and with high-performance order storage. Needs WooCommerce 9.0 or later.
- Fixed: an exam that several modules each assigned to a learner was listed once per module on their My exams page.
- Fixed: a learner's My certificates page listed a certificate before the exam's results were released.
- Fixed: passing an exam linked to a LearnDash course did not complete the course unless it had no lessons.
- Fixed: learners launched from an LMS through LTI 1.3 were sent back to the exam page after pressing Start, and each press used up an attempt. The attempt limit now applies to them as to everyone else.
- Fixed: a damaged LTI signing key made submitting fail for learners launched from an LMS. It now only stops the score being sent back.
- Fixed: with Tutor LMS active, an attempt whose number matched the ID of a Tutor course could not be saved or submitted.
- Fixed: "Who may sit this" said nobody could sit an exam that a linked course lets people into.
- Initial release.
