"Export and Import Quizzes" is a common feature or add-on found in most major WordPress Learning Management Systems (LMS) and specialized quiz plugins. It allows you to migrate quizzes between websites, bulk-edit questions in Excel, or create backups without manual data entry.
Since this is a common title for several plugins, here is a breakdown of the most popular versions:
This is one of the most widely used add-ons for LearnDash users. It transforms the way you handle high volumes of questions.
Best For: Schools or corporate trainers moving hundreds of questions from a local/staging site to a live site.
How it Works: It provides a standard XLS/XLSX template. You fill out the columns (Question, Answer, Type, Points) and upload it to LearnDash.
Key Feature: It supports all LearnDash question types (Single Choice, Multiple Choice, Sorting, Free Choice, etc.) and allows you to export existing quizzes into JSON or Excel formats for editing.
In Tutor LMS, this is a Pro feature (included in the Pro version) that can be enabled via the Add-ons menu.
Best For: Users who prefer working within the Tutor LMS ecosystem without third-party tools.
Workflow: * Export: Inside the Course Builder, you’ll find an "Export" button next to your quiz. It downloads a CSV file.
Import: Click the "Import Quiz" button in the Course Builder of a new course and upload that CSV.
Benefit: It eliminates the need to map fields manually; the plugin recognizes the CSV structure automatically.
If you use the AYS Quiz Maker plugin (a standalone quiz tool not tied to an LMS), this add-on is required for migrations.
Best For: Moving complex quizzes with specific design settings and timers.
Format: It primarily uses JSON files to ensure that all styles, settings, and question data are perfectly preserved during the move.
This is a free/premium extension for the LearnPress plugin.
Capability: It doesn't just do quizzes; it can export entire courses, including lessons and assignments, into a single file for backup or migration.

If your import is failing, check these three common issues:
Template Integrity: Never delete or rename the header columns in the provided Excel templates. The plugin relies on those exact names to "read" the data.
Special Characters: If your questions contain symbols (like & or quotes), ensure your file is saved with UTF-8 encoding to prevent "garbled" text.
Question Limit: Some shared hosting servers have a "Max Execution Time" limit. If you are importing 500+ questions at once, the process might time out. Try splitting the file into smaller batches of 50.
Are you looking for a specific template for one of these plugins, or are you having trouble with an import error?
