 * Greetings GHGadmin:
 * I cannot seem to duplicate this error on any of my test sites. Can you answer
   a few questions for me?
 * What version of WordPress are you using?
    Do you know what version of PHP your
   server is running? How many other plugins are currently installed?
 * Best Regards

 * Sure:
    1. WordPress 3.8.1 2. I believe, PHP ver. 5.4. Is there somewhere where
   I can verify this? 3. 1 other plugin is active (WP-Mail_SMTP)

 * Can you delete you version of Quiz Master Next plugin and then upload this version
   and see if that changes anything?

 * Oh, just in case you are unfamiliar with Google Drive sharing, when you click
   that link, it will show the contents of the zip. Along the top, there is File
   menu. Click on it and then click on download to download the zip.

 * I hate to ask, but what do you think it was?
    I had deleted and re-installed 
   3 times, today already !!
 * I appreciate the help on this…

 * I made a subtle change to the coding for the certificates in the quiz.php. To
   my knowledge, it has worked for everyone else as is. Everything I looked into
   for the different versions of PHP and WordPress shows it should work for all 
   versions, but your error gave me an idea of how to make it better. I am glad 
   I could help. I’ll get the fix built into the main version for you! Let me know
   if there is anything else that you need.
