Title: “Required question” : doesn’t work Last modified: March 20, 2021 --- # “Required question” : doesn’t work * [adrenmaths](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adrenmaths/) * (@adrenmaths) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-question-doesnt-work/) * Hello, * I don’t understand : I have a quiz with 10 horizontal multiple choice questions. * Each question is checked as ‘required’. * But when the quiz runs, the user is still allowed to proceed even if he / she doesn’t answer to some question. * Why is it so ? * Adren * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frequired-question-doesnt-work%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Thread Starter [adrenmaths](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adrenmaths/) * (@adrenmaths) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-question-doesnt-work/#post-14216066) * 1°) Here is a partial (possible) answer to my own question … * Maybe the devs have considered that in a multiple answers quiz, the user could choose to leave each answer unchecked. If so, it’s clear that the ‘required’ button should have no effect. * **Is it the case ?** * 2°) In the case of a horizontal multiple choice, where each question is tagged as required, I noticed the following problem : * –> in my MacOS environment, the user is free to jump to the next question (without the obligation to check one of the proposed answers : this not the expected behaviour) * –> in a Windows environment, the behaviour is OK … and for the SAME quiz !! * **Is it a known problem ?** Is there something I can do at my level to bypass this problem ? * Thank you for your time. * Adren * [expresstechsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/expresstechsupport/) * (@expresstechsupport) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-question-doesnt-work/#post-14218219) * Hi [@adrenmaths](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adrenmaths/), * The Required field must work for all the questions in the quiz.

The fastest way to rule out a conflict is to deactivate all plugins and switch to a standard theme like Twenty Twenty. If this resolves the issue, you have a conflict and should activate one plugin at a time until you locate the conflict. Finally, after all plugins are active, switch to your theme. This will narrow down the conflict to a specific plugin or a theme conflict. * If this does not resolve the issue then kindly share the issue at here as well for further troubleshooting [https://quizandsurveymaster.com/contact-support/](https://quizandsurveymaster.com/contact-support/) * Kind regards, Kriti Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘“Required question” : doesn’t work’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/quiz-master-next/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=3158087) * [Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) - Easy Quiz and Survey Maker](https://wordpress.org/plugins/quiz-master-next/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/quiz-master-next/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/quiz-master-next/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/quiz-master-next/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/quiz-master-next/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/quiz-master-next/reviews/) ## Tags * [multiple answers](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/multiple-answers/) * [QSM](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/qsm/) * [question](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/question/) * 9 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [expresstechsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/expresstechsupport/) * Last activity: [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/required-question-doesnt-work/#post-14261020) * Status: not resolved
