Setting up the proper user registration and the possibility to access user profiles will surely help you increase your WordPress website traffic.
So, in this detailed article, we will show you how to set up everything mentioned step by step. So, let’s delve into this.
Why User Management Matters in Online Quizzes
Before passing on to the setup process, let’s understand why user management matters in online quizzes.
When it comes to building a smarter WordPress website, managing users is as important as creating interactive content. In fact, you, as an admin of the website, can create custom registration forms, making the user registration and login process a simple process.
The website visitors can log in to their personalized user dashboard and access their quiz results, progress, and overall quiz performance. They have all this data available in one place, which is a great plus.
You can assign different user roles (like student, teacher, etc.) and control who can access the quizzes you have created. This will help you keep your WordPress website more secure, organized, and reliable.
Let’s learn how to manage user registration, user profiles, and display random quizzes in different advanced layouts, ensuring the interactivity of your site.
