Hi,i need to add a new answer. But all are ordered alphabetically. How can I add a new question in the middle? The only way is delete previous ansewers? I cannot lose data. Editing in the database? please could you help me?
Hello,
Questions can be easily reordered by dragging and dropping the question header with your mouse. Answers couldn’t be reordered at the moment.

Dear,
I am interested to buy The Modal Survey Plugin. But I have some questions before buying the plugin:
1. How many questions can we make on ONE Survey, can we make ONE Survey with 100 Questions?
2. How many Surveys can we make at ONCE? For example I would like to develop Survey A for City A for different qu?estions, Survey B for City B for different questions, Survey C for City C for different questions, Can we make 100 Surveys for 100 Cities directly at the same time?
Hope I can get the information soon, THANKS.
Mega
Hello Mega,
1. You can add any number of questions to the survey, it doesn’t has any limits by the plugin.
2. Yes, there are also no limitations how many surveys you can create.

I would like to buy your plugin. But I have some questions.
I would like to use the tool for a personality test, combined with open questions.
My questions: - Is it possible to combine closed questions with open questions? - Is it possible to accumulate some questions to a score in the radar chart. Lets say 5 topics with each 4 questions. So the radar chart has 5 stars, and every star is based on the score of 4 questions.
- And is it possible to let participants see the radar chart based of their answers, AND the answers to the open questions in the same report?
- Is it possible to let the report be exported to pdf for the participants?
With kind regards,
Remon Workel
Hello Remon,
Yes, you can add one open text answer for each questions.
However, it can be also the part of the radar chart, but it is displayed as ‘Other’ when you include the results on the frontend area. These open text answers can be obscene, therefore the plugin automatically group them under the ‘Other’ category on the frontend to avoid any inconveniences.
Certainly, the detailed answers can be viewed on the admin area.
It is possible to export the results on the admin area only to different formats, including PDF.
Find the detailed documentation here: Modal Survey and Quiz
Regards,
Pantherius
So it is not possible for the participant to view the result himself in a PDF? Directly or for example after entering their mailadres.
And I mean not text answers for the closed answers (like an explaination for the given answer), but only an open question. For example “their greatest challenge for the time to come” with they then have to answer into a textfield.
Regards, Remon
The plain text results in PDF can be send to the users by email if you turning ON the Auto-Response feature.
Yes, I understand how do you mean open text answers.
Regards,
Pantherius
Thanks for the answers! Much helpful!
You’re welcome!
I bought the plugin. Looks nice. But when I get the PDF report in mail, I can’t get the radar chart to be displayed in the report. Is this possible? And where can I adjust the look and feel off the report? For example add my company logo etc.
Hello,
It is not possible to include charts in the PDF, that attached to the Auto-Response email at the moment. You can add your own logo by editing the modules/export_pdf.php on line 252.
There is a line “include logo”, just remove the double backslashes below and specify the URL of your logo.
Regards,
Pantherius
I’m not that good in PHP. So i see this.
//include logo
//$html .= ‘ ’;
the url of my logo is for example
https://nameofwebsite.nl/files/logo.png so where do I put this url?You can replace that part to like this:
//include logo
$html .= '<div style="width: 100%;text-align:center;"><img src="https://nameofwebsite.nl/files/logo.png" /></div>';Make sure you removed the double backslashes at the beginning of the second line.

Is there a simple short code to use to create a page to display the results of a mass survey? I can’t seem to find it in the instructions.
Hello,
There are shortcodes for displaying the results, you can find in the documentation under the shortcodes section here: Modal Survey Documentation
Creating a page in WordPress is a core feature, that doesn’t need any further plugin.

Hi, I have a question. Does this support a hybrid survey form like google forms which contains questions which have text boxes as well as radio button questions with redirection. Thanks Regards, Mihir Joshi
Hello,
Open text answers, radio button style and redirection also available. Find the full details in the documentation here: http://modalsurvey.pantherius.com/documentation

Hi, I would need to send to MailChimp some additional fields like Phone Number, Source and Contact Rating. How can I do that? Do I need to name the fields in some specific way?
Hello,
You have to create these fields on the survey edit screen and in your MailChimp list as well with the same ID values, then it should work well.
Regards,
Pantherius
ok thanks, most of it works. But can I send to mailchimp the Contact Rating value based on what the user replied in the survey? or would this need to be an additional parameter in the contact form?
No sorry. It can be achieved by code customization only.

Pantherius
Is it possible to skip questions yet without adding a “skip this question option”, is there some sort of code that can input into the functions file to allow a question not to be answered?
Thanks.
Hello,
No, all questions are mandatory by default. I don’t really understand why the “skip” button doesn’t fit to your needs. If the plugin would offer an option to skip a question, then the user should also choose a built-in “SKIP” button. In this case, when you add it to your own, you can specify the text on it and you will be also able to track how many people selected it.
Do you have any idea how to skip a question without clicking on anything?
Regards,
Pantherius
Our questions are split into sections and 4 showing at a time, out of the four, two only need to be selected/answered. So instead of clicking 4 times, people would only have to click twice, and then select the next button. When you have a lot of questions/sections, needing to click less is preferable.
I see now. Sorry, but the way you display the survey is a special mode. However, it might does makes sense to simply skip the question by clicking on the next button, in any other modes the Next button is not visible. Therefore currently, it is not possible the skip the question by the next button without code customization.

Hi, is this possible to set up a condition to show a message when the final score is within a certain range of values. I want to show “Low” when final score is between 0-20, “medium” when it’s between 20-40, and so on. Currently I only see ‘lower than’, ‘higher than’ and ‘equal to’ logical operators – not sure how to do address a range of values.. Thanks in advance.
Hello,
Sure, you can achieve the “between” condition by using the equal condition, then specify the range, like 10-20 as the value.
Regards,
Pantherius
Hello,
pre-purchase question, i was reading your documentation and it seems that you dont have like a shortcode to display individual score per category answers at the end. are you able to let me know if you have this kind of feature?
Thanks!
Hello,
The individual category scores can be displayed one-by-one with the following type of shortcode:
[survey_answers id="12345" data="score" style="plain" qid="activity" uid="true" session="last"]where the qid parameter requires to specify the name of the category.
Regards,
Pantherius
that’s not on the documentation maybe you can add that as a great feature when displaying plain result text in the end cuz the charts are not showing the score
and by the way can you use the shortcode on your survey conditions? thank you
Thank you for the suggestion!
Yes, you are right. It is only in the changelog yet, I didn’t have time enough to add it to the content of the manual as well. Will do it!
Yes, you can also use shortcodes embed in the conditional shortcodes as well.
Regards,
Pantherius
hello pantherius, just one more thing before i buy this. listen you have those shortcodes that has survey conditions? is it possible to have 2 conditions like if your result is higher than 50 and also the other category is 50 then show the specific message. i can’t see an example on your manual. and it seems that all your conditions is a one off only? thank you
Hello,
It can be achieved by the advanced conditions on a page or post. That means, you have to redirect the browser at the end of the survey, then you can use something like this:
[survey_conditions id="12345" advanced="finalscore > 1 AND questionanswer_1 = 3"]Display content when final score higher than 1 and the 3rd answer has been selected for question 1[/survey_conditions]Regards,

Hello,
How can I edit a (non-logged in) submission in the backend? Because if I delete the results of a participant, the results won’t be deleted in the graph.. how come? Or did I miss something?
Thanks!
gr,
Hello,
Removing the individual result on the Participants page doesn’t means it will be also removed from the cumulated result, because the user still voted.
This behavior grants to keep all survey results real, that means it is not possible to remove the votes for a specified answer and change the cumulated results this way.
If you even would like to also delete it from there as well, you can achieve it with some code customization.
Regards,
Pantherius
I searched the comments and saw some answers, but wasn’t sure if anything’s changed since you replied to those questions.
Can the survey taker download their results at the end of the survey on the front end? I saw you had said you can set up an auto-response message which can contains the result as a PDF attachment.
Also, I’ve reviewed a lot of the documentation. I just want to confirm that I could do the following:
- use custom colors and fonts: Can these be set globally or do they need to be done with each survey question?
- display dynamic charts and graphs,
- allow for fill-in-the-blank responses,
- show immediate results to the survey taker,
- allow the survey taker to share results on social media or via e-mail,
- display a call to action at the end of survey
Hello,
Yes, it is still available. However, the plugin doesn’t provide the option to download the results at the end of the survey, it can be sent by the Auto-Response feature as an attached PDF. This PDF couldn’t contain any charts. Furthermore, if you redirect the browser to a results page, you may use any 3rd party plugin to offer the download option for the users.
- You can set the design options on the survey edit screen, that applied to all questions. If you need any further customization, you can add your own CSS code to the Custom CSS page, that can be also applied to all questions or individually – as you wish.
- Could you specify how do you mean exactly dynamic charts and graphs?
- If you mean allowing the user the complete the survey later, then yes, that’s available.
- Yes, you can display the chart at the end of the survey or redirect the browser to a results page, that gives you much more freedom with the results.
- Sending the user’s own results by email to anyone else is currently not a feature. However, the results can be shared on social media, it can be achieved by the conditions feature. That means, you can make predefined content, that displayed based on the votes and can be shared at the end of the survey.
- Sure, you can redirect the browser or display a specific content based on the selection. Certainly, it is also possible to show a static text independently of the choices.
Best regards,
Pantherius
Dynamic charts and graphs: meaning they are automatically created/adjusted depending on the data.
Are these scenarios possible as well?
1. After someone answers questions pertaining to their organization (say, what size it is, what type, etc.), if they answer subsequent questions, can the answers then show how others who are the same size and same type org answered those questions?
2. Show how other participants did and how this participant did in comparison
3. If so, can it show the comparison to others? Perhaps: “95% of other orgs of this type and size responded the same way you did” or “Because you said you were this size org, here’s how you compare to them.”
1. If you mean, collecting data depending on some specified answer, then no. It can be achieved by code customization only.
2. The individual result can be compared with the cumulative results.
3. No.
I guess, if you have this kind of concept, you may do a custom development instead. However, the plugin provides ready-made solution for general projects, it couldn’t cover all type of needs.
I can recommend you to check the documentation here: Modal Survey Documentation
You can find most of the features above. If you still have questions beyond the scope of the manual, feel free to let me know!

Hello! Would this plugin work with the WordPress REST API? We would like to buy this plugin and use it in the mobile app. if it needs code customization, would you please give a price? Thinks. Some buyers asked the above question before, I don’t know whether the API works well now?
Hello,

Hello,
Just would like to letting you know, the new Modal Survey 2.0 version provides the Rest API feature to get any existing data from the survey and the results. You can find it in the documentation here: Modal Survey Rest API
Best regards,
Pantherius
hi, thanks for your great plugin.
we have other 2 questions: 1, Does the plugin Rest API support “POST” methods? 2, Where to submit the survay data from user APP endpoint through the plugin Rest API? where is the API port?
Thanks for your reply.
Hi,
Thank you for the kind words.
Yes, as far as I know WordPress REST API support POST method.
The first version of this REST API addition allows you to get data from the survey database, but it doesn’t allow to submit any data to the survey database yet.
Regards,
Pantherius
thanks for your reply. so the survay plugin REST API does not support POST method now, am I right? Hope the API can suport the submition to the database. thanks for your great work.
You’re welcome!
Currently, you can get the results from the database. The POST method can be used for authentication purposes only.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, hopefully it can be updated soon to process submitting survey to the database as well.

Pantherius
Does this plugin support login/registration?
It should show only when user login and whatever the quizes they have completed that should be stored in their account page.
I am not seeing this in demo. Is this possible?
If Yes, Can I see the demo of user account how it will display?
Looking forward to your reply.
Best Regards, Kishore
Hello Kishore,
The survey can be displayed for logged-in users only. However, the results stored on the admin area, it can be displayed on the front-end by using different shortcodes. That provides the flexibility to include the results to the account page (template file) several ways with lot of variations.
Find the available shortcodes in the documentation here.

Pantherius
I’d like to show the total number of participants before displaying the results. How would I do that?
Hello,
It can be achieved by some custom code using the built-in action hooks. Find it under the Developer section in the documentation here: http://modalsurvey.pantherius.com/documentation#line15

Hello.
I bought this plugin a while ago. It was working fine. Now it is giving an error. When i try to add it to a post or new page, it freezes.
I have tried deactivating all other plugins as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello,
Please update the plugin to the latest release, that might solve the problem. If you still have difficulties, please purchase a support extension on the plugin’s page as your support period has expired last year.

I have turned ON this option – Display Once per Filled Out. And I also want to give the user an option to redo the survey after he has filled it once and seen the results. Is this possible? Currently the only possibilities are that – same user can only fill the survey once OR he will fill it repeatedly if this setting is OFF (Display Once per Filled Out. My requirement is that same user should be given a chance to redo the survey if he wants to. If he doesn’t want to redo then he will see his results.
Hello,
However, it is not possible to provide ‘one-time redo’ option, you can also control how long it won’t be available with the Cookie Expiration Time on the survey edit screen.
If you even would like to offer completing again the survey with the Display once per Filled Out option turned ON, that can be achieved by some code customization which only delete the cookie from the user’s browser.

Is it possible to set multiple scores to categories for an answer. For instance if an answer gave 2 points to 1 category and 1 point to the other category. Is this possible? If not Is there a way to do this another way?
Hello,
No, it is not a feature at the moment. It can be achieved by code customization only.
Regards,
Pantherius
Would I go to you guys for customizations on your plugin if not is there somewhere this can be done?
Could you send me a message via my profile page mail sender, please?

Hi, can i put a shortcode that allow excel exports in the front end?
In case there is not a shortcode, could you tell me wich file i need to edit. Thanks.
Hello,
Exporting the results on the frontend is not a feature at the moment and can be achieved by code customization only. Unfortunately, it is not few lines coding only.
Alternatively, you can send the results by PDF to the user by activating the Participants Form at the end of the survey and turning ON the Auto-Response feature. Find it in the documentation here: Auto Response
