 * I am at my wits’ end. It’s a wonderful plugin except that it doesn’t work. I 
   spent a couple of hours on designing my first quiz (this is a Russian poetry 
   site), I got the shortcode, the quiz appears the way it’s supposed to but it 
   won’t start. You can click on start quiz button and nothing happens. I disabled
   all plugins. One by one. Then all of them. Nothing happens. Five hours now. Extremely
   frustrating.

   to see the link]_

 * Eurica. The culprit was found. It is the plugin itself. Alas, it’s incompatible
   with WordPress or rather with the basic theme that comes with it. The plugin 
   does not work with WordPress’s own basic free Twenty Twenty theme. Hours upon
   hours of time wasted. The quiz began to work after I installed the Astra theme.
   Then I tried a couple of other premium themes, and they all worked. But I am 
   not going to change my website and I am not going to migrate to a different theme
   only because of a plugin. That’s a major, major annoyance.
 * What I find so bad about the situation is that there was no warning, at least
   I didn’t see any, that would have told the potential user that the plugin is 
   incompatible with WordPress Twenty Twenty themes (maybe it’s incompatible with
   other themes as well but this I can only claim with 100% confidence that it does
   not work with Twenty Twenty and thus represents a colossal wastage of time.

 * okay, it’s not your fault. It must have something to do with the child theme (
   Twenty Twenty child theme). I have no idea what it is because there were no changes
   made to it, and it’s more or less the same theme, but when I switched to the 
   original Twenty Twenty, it began to work. So you can close the ticket because
   you cannot solve it. Only I can. Anyway, I great plugin.
