Do you Really Know WordPress?
Do you think you know WordPress like the back of your hand?
I just made up this quiz that you can take to assess your knowledge on WordPress. Please don’t cheat by looking for answers on the Internet or in WordPress. Just take the test from whatever knowledge you have about WordPress 🙂
And yes, let me know what you scored in the comments! Be honest.

You scored 10 out of 18.
Your performance has been rated as ‘Satisfactory’
Great Plugin!
Thanks mate
my score 13/18
This quiz is really good. I made 18 scores out of 18 questions hahaha!
15/18 🙂
Nice quiz, now You should create one much much harder than that…. 😉
14/18, woo.
Quiz could use some updates though, 3.0.1 isn’t the version number any longer and “Hello Dolly” really is a song sung by Louis Armstrong, you say so yourself in the answer, so get rid of that option or make it the right one. Just pointing out those two errrrorrrs.
So, I got 16/18 of the answers right, you got 16/18 of the questions right. 😉
Great Quiz really enjoyed a lot.
15/18 yeahhhhhhhhhhh
14/18… the version no. was tricky..
13/18 D:
10/18 ? haha… btw this quiz plugin is cool!
To autor, few things:
What is “Hello Dolly”?
# A song by Louis Armstrong
# A plugin that comes with WordPress
Those are radio buttons, not checkbox, so you have to chose one option … but, do you know why this plugin have that name?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Armstrong
“In 1964, he recorded his biggest-selling record, “Hello, Dolly!”. The song went to #1 on the pop chart, making Armstrong (age 63) the oldest person to ever accomplish that feat. In the process, Armstrong dislodged The Beatles from the #1 position they had occupied for 14 consecutive weeks with three different songs.”
What’s the latest release version of WordPress?
#but when?
When I visit this site, the newest version of WordPress is 3.0.3 😉
Can you choose your password while installing WordPress?
* Yes, WordPress suggests you some passwords and you can choose one among them.
* Yes, you can do so after the release of WordPress 3.0
If you can choose a password while instaling WordPress, the first answer will be correct. But, you can type / enter the password in WP 3,0+, not choose, so both answers are wrong.
What are Permalinks?
* These are the permanent links for posts and pages
* These are SEO-friendly URLs generated by WordPress
For posts, pages, categories, tags, archive etc. Ant, it also COULD BE a SEO-friendly URLs generated by WordPress 😉
What’s the best way of blacklisting a user from posting comments on your blog?
* All of the above
The best way? All of above? Block someone nick or email is equal to block IP for you? And if it’s a bot, some that can post a comment eaven if akismet is active?
And ‘the best’, if you start in some competition, and you are the best, you will win a gold medal, but only you, not 10 other peoples.
I made a new category but its not showing up on my blog. What must be the cause?
* The category has no posts under it
‘must be the cause’, no, it don’t have to be that, but it COULD BE, or, this is the most popular mistake when someone use wp_list_categories() without hide_empty=0 parameter.
If a category doesn’t have any posts in it, it will not show up in the category list.
Can I install any number of plugins in my WordPress?
* No, plugins are heavy scripts and overload the CPU of your hosting server.
Plugins are heavy scripts and overload the CPU? WTF? Maibe NextGen Gallery or a few others reali big pluggins, but most of them, most of plugins, are just a small function, or few function, not even use on every site, so to overload CPU od server, you really have to install a LOT of pluggins, ant it dependence of type of server, shared hosting, dedicated hosting, and it’s parameters, etc.
The answer is god – becouse it is a limit, but the form of answer is wrong 😉
By the way, nice idea for that test, and congratulations for he questions, not all of them are easy 😉
15/18 Is Good !
What’s the latest release version of WordPress?
I play this quiz when the version 3.0.2 is out, and choosing 3.0.2 lead me to a wrong answer and decrease my score 😛
Yayy … I got 100% correct ..

How did you embed the quiz into the wordpress post. Is there any plugin to do this, or is it your own work.
Pls let me know.
This is a plugin called Quizzin

not too bad. there were two i really should have gotten.
Scored 11 out of 18.
Your performance has been rated as ‘Competent’
Fair, being that I recently started playing around
with WordPress again. Room for improvement and
reason enough to sharpen my WordPress skills again.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed doing the quiz. Thanks.
15 out of 18
yay 😀
You scored 17 out of 18.
Damn, that Plugin one is really cocky. Technically, you can install as many plugins as you wish. Let’s stick to the question/answer not the practical implementation, shall we 😀
hehe nice quizz! 16 from 18, one by clicking wrong by mistake and 1 was like hmm “theoretically” you can put as many plugins you want.. but yeah serious performance issues does appear if they are to many
You scored 13 out of 18.
this’s fun
14 / 18…..its good as i just started learning wordpress.
Thanks. A fun way to test my knowledge of WordPress and learn something too. I’m happy with 14 of 18.
The only question I got wrong was:
Can I install any number of plugins in my WordPress?
I answered yes because you can install any number.
Your correct answer is:
No, plugins are heavy scripts and overload the CPU of your hosting server.
Which wasn’t what you asked.
Aww, the question about number of plugins is lame 😉
I did enjoy the quiz though and would love to procrastinate some more; does anyone know of any other quizzes related to wordpress, seo, marketing, etc?
You scored 15 out of 18.

I’ve learned some new things about WordPress today. 🙂 Thanks

Hi got 14 🙂
11/18

I realized recently that if you really know programs like WordPress or Excel, your life becomes a lot easier.
I scored 14. Not bad for a Blogger user, I guess 🙂

ok la
17/18. Should’ve been perfect, since Hello Dolly is an Armstrong song. I mean originally. 🙂
12/18.. not bad for a WP newbie! 🙂
scored 16…
How did you make the quiz? Is it a plugin or you wrote it yourself ?
Its a plugin called Quizzin.
16 out of 18
Scored 18/18 but I still don’t see myself as a wordpress expert. Learning the ropes and lots to learn.
Lol I scored 12
Got some serious work to do. Do I get a prize for the worst score? 7 out of 18!!!! Is being born in the early 60’s still an excuse?
Hahha.. i got 15. Nice quiz anyway.
18 of 18, congratz to me,hahaha..
Thanks for making a cool quiz! I scored 16 out of 18. This question has the wrong answer programmed for true: “Can I install any number of plugins in my WordPress?” The correct answer is “yes”, yes you can . I understand the point that you are making here and completely agree, but at the end of the day, a user can install as many plugins as he or she desires. Whether or not it is a good idea is a completely different question.
16/18
I picked “SEO-friendly” answer on permalinks. Archives (categories, tags, dates) have permalinks as well, not only posts and pages. Also non-permalink URLs are kinda permanent as well. Actually they are more permanent because slug can be easily changed, but things like post ID not.
And answered wrong on plugins. I second that one being too much of blanket statement. It’s not quantity of plugins that matters for performance, it is specifics of each plugin.
Blog with hundred of plugins can perform better than blog with ten.
Actually, scratch that on permalinks. I mixed up terms in my head. “Ugly” URLs with IDs are called permalinks as well.

Hi,
Only 1 error, 🙂
Funny quiz. Thanks
13/18. Haven’t used WordPress in a long time, but still familiar ;).
11 of 18 oh God 🙂
16/18. I’m happy with that! (should have been 17, I read the wordpress.org question wrong.)
16 of 18 … just missed Tagline and the number of plugins questions. I never use more than a dozen plugins anyway – so a cap on the number really isn’t an issue.
Cool quiz!
14 out of 18 aaaaargh!!!!
Permalinkkssss!!!!!!
You scored 16 out of 18…
In my own defense, I’d like to argue the two questions I missed:)
12 out of 18
this is cool!!!
hahaha..
15/18 Need more time to learn WP
Can you really make a blanket statement that most plugins “create a lot of load on CPU and may crash your site if used excessively”? I don’t doubt that a lot of plugins are poorly written, cause unnecessary database queries, load on EVERY page when you just need it on one, etc.
You have answered your own question 🙂 “I don’t doubt that a lot of plugins are poorly written, cause unnecessary database queries, load on EVERY page when you just need it on one, etc.”
I got 13/18
got 10/18……even i use blogspot…hehehe
Slug – is incorrect, sort of…. In the WP admin – slug is referred to in both Category and Tag (admin pages) – but when you review any post – the url is directly referred to as the permalink. Only in the quick edit box is that link referred to as the slug… so the slug would have to be pages/categories/and tags – but not just “Search Engine friendly version of the post title”
Also I agree @Svilen Popov, your “Plugin” answer is subjective and not the logical answer of the question “Can I install any number of plugins in my WordPress?”… but I agree that many plugins are heavy and that too many plugins will deteriorate a blogs performance. Go tell Joost or WooThemes that the plugins they write are worthless… 🙂
Buddy, there should not be any argument over the meaning of Slug. You should read the definition for the word slug in WordPress’ official glossary here :- http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Slug
Secondly, many plugins will definitely deteriorate performance. Been there, done that. And yea, Joost or Woothemes are not Gods 🙂 They do and have made mistakes in the past. So. lets not go there.
18/18 – Your performance has been rated as ‘Unbeatable’
Knew I spent too much time playing with WordPress!!
Congrats on being the first perfect scorer! Btw, do you have a social life 😉
15/18. Not bad, not bad 😀
16 out of 18. One answered to quickly, so it should have been 17/18 😛
“You scored 17 out of 18.” but in my mind it’ll be 18/18.
I think the question about how many plugin can we install is not correctly asked (or maybe i don’t understand it). Yes, its not recommended to install lots of plugins, but if someone wants to do it – why not.
haha, what i noob I am, only scored 11/18 😛

‘Competent’ here too. 11/18, but I knew I’d got a couple wrong – clicked ‘Next’ too soon!
Ha! I’m competent. Ah well, I’ve learned some new things about WordPress today. 🙂 Thanks for the quiz!
What was your score 🙂
14/18……got the version no. wrong, how stupid, I see it all the time on my admin page 😀
15! 😀
Hey, thank you friend!
