Significant improvements in 1.1, including a native meta box in the edit post/page screen, and the ability to have more than one acceptable answers to a question.

As of this morning I have turned off the Spam Karma plugin, which has been protecting this blog from comment spam¹ for a few years now. In its place I have activated a beta version of Quiz.

What the plugin does is add a question to the Comments form, which must be answered correctly before a comment is submitted. You can set a default question, set a different question per-post, or choose for a particular post to not have a question.

This is pretty close to a release version, I think, but I would appreciate some feedback from the community. It requires (I think) WordPress 2.5.

You can download it here: Quiz 1.1 beta 5

Note: If you have been using Andy’s version 1.0, the Q&As you have entered previously should still work, but you will have to re-enter your settings on the new admin page (no more editing PHP files). Also, rather than using pseudo-shortcodes, you now enter the Q&A in a regular meta box on the Edit Post screen. If there is demand, I may restore the ability to continue using the shortcode method, but for now it is gone.

[Update: If upgrading from 1.0, you must deactivate it and reactivate once to set the default preferences.]
