What Is LearnDash Quiz Import/Export?
LearnDash Quiz Import/Export is developed by WooNinjas and is a learning plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the learning category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for course creators and educators. The plugin simplifies the process of creating hundreds of questions by allowing users to work in familiar environments like Excel or Google Sheets.
Administering large-scale learning platforms often requires moving data between staging and production sites or backing up quiz banks. This extension serves as a dedicated migration bridge that preserves question types, media, and scoring logic without requiring technical database knowledge.
LearnDash Quiz Import/Export Features
The core feature set is built around high-fidelity data transfer and spreadsheet-based content creation.
Spreadsheet and Document Integration
Quiz Import/Export supports multiple file formats including XLS, XLSX, JSON, and DOCX. Educators can download a simple template, fill in their questions and answers, and upload the file to generate quizzes instantly. The plugin also supports automated syncing via Google Sheets, which is ideal for teams that manage content collaboratively in the cloud. This fits perfectly into learning workflows where content frequently undergoes revisions.
Advanced Question Type Support
While many tools only handle basic multiple-choice questions, Quiz Import/Export maintains compatibility with all default LearnDash types. This includes images, media-rich questions, and even custom types from the Advanced Quizzes add-on. It also handles Multi-Question Categories, ensuring that the organizational structure of your question bank remains intact during a transfer.
Bulk Settings and Templating
Users can save time by determining default global settings for all imported quizzes. You can configure access rules, progression requirements, and display modes before the import begins. Alternatively, the plugin allows you to select an existing quiz as a template, copying its specific configurations to every new quiz generated by the import file.
