• Fix issue preventing manually graded quiz review points from saving properly
• Improved background updater to ensure scripts don’t timeout during upgrades
• Admin builder JS now minified for increased performance
• Made frontend quiz and quiz-builder strings output via Javascript translatable

• Fix issue causing newly created quizzes to not be properly related to their parent lesson
• Fix issue preventing quiz time limits from starting unless an attempt limit is also set
• Fixes a WP Engine issue that prevented the builder from loading due to a blocked dependency

• Add an update notice to 3.16.0 migration scripts to provide more information about the major update.
• Removed quiz assignment fields on the lesson metabox to reduce confusion as quizzes are now managed exclusively on the quiz builder.
• Ensure questions migrated during 3.16 updates retain their initial points value from the quiz.

• When switching a quiz to “Published” it will now update the parent lesson to ensure it’s recorded as having an enabled quiz.
• Declared the WordPress heartbeat API script as a dependency for the Course Builder JS. It seems that some servers and hosts dequeue the heartbeat when not explicitly required. This resolves a saving issue on those hosts.
• Added a Quiz Description content editor under quiz settings. This is the “Editor” from pre 3.16.0 quizzes and any content saved in these fields is now available in this description field
• Fixed issue causing points percentage calculation tooltip on quiz builder to show the incorrect percentage value
• Fix issue preventing lessons with no drip settings from being updated on the WP post editor
• Fix issue causing 500 error on lesson settings metabox for lessons not attached to sections
• Add a “Quiz Description” field to allow quiz post content to be edited on the quiz builder
• Added a database migration script to ensure quizzes migrated from 3.16 and lower that had quiz post content to automatically have the optional quiz description to be enabled

Quizzes

• New question types: True/False, Picture Choice, and Non-question content
• Picture & Multiple choice have options for multiple correct answers (checkbox-like questions)
• You can now create questions with NO POINTS (maybe for surveys?)

• Upgraded instructor quiz attempt review interface
• Admins may now leave remarks on questions directly
• Improved data available related to quizzes and quiz attempts on reporting screens
• Improved quiz user interface
• Added a progress bar to the quiz interface
• Shrunk the quiz timer
• Added a question # counter on the quiz interface
• Fixed issue causing randomized questions to get “lost” when navigating back through a quiz attempt
• Improved error handling on quizzes
• Overhauled quiz data structure for improved performance and scalability
• Requires database migration and update: 3.16.0

Course Builder Improvements

• Quiz-building is now available on the course builder
• Quiz and Question WordPress editors no longer available. Quizzes and Questions HAVE NOT DISAPPEARED, they’ve been improved and relocated
• All hooks & filters attached to the_content and the_title are now being removed when loading the course builder. This should prevent infinite spinners on builder loading and builder AJAX calls due to third-parties accidentally outputting html during these events.

Updates

• Added space between arrows and “Next” and “Previous” text on pagination lists. Thanks sujaypawar!
• Updated Quiz post type slug from “llms_quiz” to “quiz”.
• Updated default return of llms_get_post() to be false rather than a WP_Post object when a LifterLMS post cannot be located

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a potential database read error related to database store abstract
• Now passing Post ID as second parameter to the the_title filter called on post model getters
