External services
This plugin embeds interactive quizzes by loading content from the PlayQuizNow platform in an iframe.
When a page containing an embedded quiz is viewed, the visitor’s browser makes a request to playquiznow.com. This sends:
* The quiz ID (to load the correct quiz)
* Theme preference (light or dark)
* Source identifier (wordpress)
* Standard browser information (IP address, user agent, referring page) as part of the HTTP request
This data is sent every time a page with an embedded quiz is loaded by a visitor.

How do I find my quiz ID?

Log in to your PlayQuizNow dashboard at playquiznow.com. Each quiz has a unique ID shown on its settings page.
-
Can I embed multiple quizzes on one page?
-
Yes. Each shortcode or block operates independently.
-
Does the quiz auto-resize?
-
Yes. The embedded quiz communicates its height via postMessage and the iframe adjusts automatically.

Can I track quiz completions in Google Analytics?

quiz_completeevent is fired automatically when a user finishes a quiz.
