This guide provides step-by-step instructions for adding Fans United Classic Quiz blocks to your WordPress content, with visual examples of the configuration process.

Installed and activated the Fans United Core plugin
Installed and activated the Fans United Mini Games plugin
Configured the Core plugin with your API credentials
At least one quiz created and currently active in your Fans United account

🧩 Adding a Classic Quiz Block

1. Create or Edit a WordPress Page/Post

Navigate to Pages or Posts in your WordPress admin
Select an existing page/post to edit or click "Add New"

2. Insert the Classic Quiz Block

Click the "+" button in the WordPress editor to add a new block
Search for "Fans United Quiz" or locate it in the Widgets category
Click on the Fans United Quiz block to add it to your content

3. Select a Quiz

In the block settings, you'll see a dropdown menu labeled "SELECT A FANS UNITED QUIZ TO DISPLAY"
Click the dropdown to view available active quizzes from your Fans United account
Select the quiz you want to display on your page

🚨 Note: This dropdown will only show quizzes with "Active" status from your Fans United account. Expired or inactive quizzes will not appear in the selection menu, ensuring you can only embed currently available content.

As shown in the images above, quizzes with "EXPIRED" and "INACTIVE" status will not appear in your WordPress block selection dropdown. Only quizzes with "ACTIVE" status will be available for embedding on your site.

4. Choose Display Mode

Select either "Play Mode" or "Preview Mode"
Play Mode: Embeds the fully interactive quiz directly on your page
Preview Mode: Shows a teaser card that links to a specified URL
- Preview Click URL (Preview Mode Only)
  - If you've selected Preview Mode, enter the URL where users will be directed when clicking the preview
  - This can be a dedicated page on your site or an external URL

5. Configure Lead Collection (Optional)

Check "Use custom leads configuration for this quiz" to override global settings
When enabled, additional options will appear:

Form Position:

Choose "Before Content" or "After Content" to determine where the lead form appears

Available Lead Fields:

Select which user information fields to collect (Full Name, Email, etc.)

Campaign Information:

Enter a Campaign ID for tracking leads (e.g., "tennis-wimbledon-challenge")
Provide a Campaign Name (e.g., "Wimbledon Enthusiasts - Play and Win Amazing Rewards!")

As shown in the screenshots, when "Use custom leads configuration" is left unticked, the default leads settings are automatically applied to your quiz. In this example, the default configuration places the form before the content and only collects Full Name and Email fields from users.

Manually choose form position, lead fields & Campaign ID and Name when Using Custom Leads Configuration for individual quizzes

6. Save and Preview

Click "Update" or "Publish" to save your changes
Use the WordPress preview function to see how your quiz appears on the page

💡 Using Shortcodes Instead of Blocks

You can also embed classic quizzes with ShortCodes. A shortcode will be automatically generated at the bottom of the block settings panel whenever you configure a quiz block.

Troubleshooting

If your quiz isn't displaying correctly:

Verify that the Fans United Core plugin is properly configured with valid API credentials
Check that you're using the correct quiz IDs
Check that the selected quiz is active in your Fans United account
