# Category Variable Issue

 * The QSM plugin works as intended but crashes once I introduce the Category Variable
   into either the results page or email.
 * I have a 20 question quiz that contains 3 Categories. In the results page, if
   i use %POINT_SCORE% so that the user can see their total score, then everything
   works as it should.
 * However, once I try to use the %CATEGORY_POINTS_X% (where X is the category) 
   in either the results page or email to the user, so that they can have a more
   detailed breakdown of the quiz, the plugin fails to work. In this instance the
   results page doesn’t show at all and/or they don’t receive an email at all.
 * Has anyone had this issue? I’ve tried to find a workaround but can’t seem to 
   pinpoint the issue in the first place?

 * Hi Simon Thrive,
 * This issue has been fixed in the latest plugin update. I request you to update
   QSM to its latest version (v7.3.12) and check.
    Do let me know if you still face
   the issue.
 * Regards,
    Sumit
