PressPrimer Quiz – AI Quiz Maker, Exam Builder & LMS Assessment Plugin

Description

PressPrimer Quiz is a professional assessment plugin that bridges the gap between basic quiz plugins and expensive enterprise platforms. Create beautiful, engaging quizzes with AI-powered question generation, deep LMS integration, and the reporting features serious educators need—all without monthly fees or per-student pricing.

This isn’t a crippled trial. The free version is genuinely useful forever with unlimited quizzes, unlimited questions, AI generation, LMS integration, and three professional themes. We earn upgrades by delivering specialized features, not by hobbling what you get for free.

Why Choose PressPrimer Quiz?

Most WordPress quiz plugins are built for BuzzFeed-style trivia and basic scoring, not serious assessment. Quiz features in LMS plugins are often afterthoughts with limited reporting, basic features, and dated interfaces. Enterprise quiz platforms can cost thousands per year.

PressPrimer Quiz delivers enterprise-grade assessment and includes all of the critical features you get in premium plugins at no cost:

• AI-Powered Question Generation – Use your own OpenAI or Anthropic (Claude) API key to generate questions from text, PDFs, or Word documents. No credits to buy, no middleware fees, no limits.
• Deep LMS Integration – Native integration with popular WordPress LMS plugins, including LearnDash, Tutor LMS, LifterLMS, and LearnPress. Quizzes appear in lessons or topics, trigger completions, and respect enrollment—automatically.
• Modern, Beautiful Design – Six professional themes.
• Real Reporting – Score distribution, category breakdowns, time analytics, confidence reporting, and attempt history.
• Built to Prevent Cheating – Server-side answer validation means correct answers are never exposed in page source. You can also limit attempts and force delays between retries.
• Server-Side Resume That Works Everywhere – Every answer is instantly saved to the server. Students can pause on their phone and resume on their laptop without losing a single response.
• Designed for Real Assessment – Four multiple-answer scoring modes for every context and institutional grading system. Embed images directly in question stems and answer options with a drag-and-drop uploader.

Source Code & Development

The full uncompressed source code for all JavaScript and CSS files is available in our public GitHub repository:

• GitHub Repository

The /src directory contains all unminified source files. The plugin uses webpack for building production assets. To rebuild from source:

1. Clone the repository
2. Run npm install to install dependencies
3. Run npm run build to compile assets

Third-Party Libraries

Math notation rendering uses KaTeX (version 0.17.0, MIT license), bundled locally in assets/vendor/katex/ — there are no external or CDN requests. The official minified distribution is included; it is obtained via npm install katex@0.17.0 and the files are copied from the package’s dist/ directory (katex.min.js, katex.min.css, contrib/auto-render.min.js, and the woff2/woff fonts). The complete, unminified source for this exact version is available in the KaTeX GitHub repository at the v0.17.0 release, and in the katex@0.17.0 npm package’s dist/ directory, which ships the unminified katex.js and katex.css alongside the minified files bundled here. KaTeX is loaded only when the Math Notation setting is enabled and a quiz actually contains math notation.
