QuizMeister vs Football Pool

This plugin adds a fantasy sports pool to your blog. Visitors of your website can predict outcomes of matches and earn extra points with bonus questions. Every player can view scores and charts of the other pool contenders. The plugin installs some custom tables in the database and includes match information for the UEFA 2024 Championship, but it can be easily updated with match info for other championships or sports. Note: deactivating the plugin may delete all plugin data from your database. To avoid this, make sure the “keep data on uninstall” option is enabled in the settings (it’s on by default since version 2.3.1). I originally coded this pool in PHP as a standalone website for the UEFA 2000 championship and rewrote it several times for every European Championship and World Cup since. I kept adding features every year. In 2012, I turned it into a WordPress plugin and uploaded it to the plugin directory. I hope you enjoy it. A special thank you to everyone who donated, helped translate, reported bugs, or contributed in any other way to improving the plugin! Features Users can predict match outcomes.

QuizMeister provides social network share functionality for your quiz score (via Twitter, Facebook, etc.) with external media support (via Imgur, Pintrest, YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) on quiz questions, through oEmbed. The format is multiple questions, each with multiple answers. This brings additional value to your WordPress blog or website, which can synergise with your existing content. For external/social login support (Google, Facebook, etc) we suggest installing another plugin such as WP-OAuth. This functionality -may- be incorporated into later versions. The included template integrated into the plugin for displaying quizzes (but with the ability to be disabled) is most compatible with TwentyFifteen (included with WordPress), but there is the possibility of creating your own overriding template. Future versions will include bugfixes and feature enhancements.
