PressPrimer Quiz sends email in a few situations: students can send themselves a copy of their quiz results, quizzes can be set to email results automatically, and administrators can send test emails while configuring templates. This article covers the email settings, the results email template and its tokens, and the customizable footer. Everything described here lives under PressPrimer Quiz > Settings > Email.

Results Emails

When a student completes a quiz, the results page offers to email them a copy of their results. Quizzes can also be configured to send results automatically on completion. The Email tab controls how these emails look (colors and styling) and what they say: both the subject and the body are editable templates.

Inside the body, click tokens from the Available Tokens section to copy them, then paste them where you want them. Tokens are replaced with real values when each email is sent, covering things like the student’s name, the quiz title, the score, and a button linking to the full results.

The Answers Summary Token

The {answers_summary} token adds a per-question recap to the email: each question, the answer(s) the student selected (or “Not answered”), and whether each was correct. It is not part of the default template; add the token to the body wherever you want the recap to appear.

The recap respects each quiz’s review display settings. It is only included when the quiz shows the question review, and it follows the quiz’s show-answers policy: on quizzes that reveal answers only after passing, failed attempts get no recap, and on quizzes that never show answers, the recap is always omitted. Correct answers are never included in the email, only what the student selected, so the token is safe to use even when students can retake a quiz.

The Email Footer

The Email Footer section replaces the default “This email was sent from…” line at the bottom of quiz emails with your own text. Leave the field empty to keep the default. Line breaks are kept, and simple links, such as a privacy policy or a contact page, work.

Three tokens are available: {site_name}, {site_url}, and {year}. For example, a copyright line can be written as:

© {year} {site_name} — All rights reserved.

The footer applies to results emails and settings test emails from the free plugin. With the Educator add-on, it also applies to assignment reminder and campaign emails, and with the School add-on, to review reminder emails. On campaign emails, the sender identification (organization and mailing address) and the unsubscribe link always appear after your text; those are required and cannot be removed here.

Test Emails

At the bottom of the Email tab, the Test Email section sends a sample email to any address so you can check your content and styling. Test emails use seeded sample data, so some tokens behave differently than in real emails: the results button is not functional, and {answers_summary} shows a three-question sample recap.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my footer disappear? If your footer text contained only markup that gets stripped for email safety, the sanitized result is empty and the default footer returns as a safety net. Rewrite the footer as plain text with simple links.

Can I use different footers for different quizzes? No. The footer is one global setting. For per-case customization, the pressprimer_quiz_email_footer filter is available.
