Add a question button has disappeared for one editing teacher

We are running Moodle 2.5.3 and have encountered a very strange problem with one of our lecturers who has the editing teacher role. When she goes to edit a quiz there are no Add a question or Add a random question buttons on the page (see image below). 


We have tried different browsers, different laptops and different course pages but the issue occurs in all instances. Other users with the same role are not experiencing this issue, so it would appear to be linked to her specific profile. She has not experienced this problem previously with quizzes and has not been added to any other course recently in any other role. No error message appears on the page either.



Missing Add Question button

I have also tried unenrolling and re-enrolling her in the course, but this has also not helped.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Is this with all quizzes or just one particular quiz? If it is one particular quiz, is this a quiz which students have already taken? She can't add questions to a quiz if students have done it.

Actually- looking at your screenshot - this looks OK - has she got the Question  bank contents showing or not?  And what does she see when she clicks the Editing quiz tab instead of the Order and Paging tab, which your screenshot shows?

At the top of the page there are two tabs.

Your teacher has switched from the "Edit quiz" tab to the "Order and paging" tab.

Thanks Mary and Tim.


Yes, that was the problem.  blush  I had been into that tab before and should have realised that was what it was. It seems that the lecturer concerned also cottoned on as a quiz has now been built in the course. What I think threw me was that it wasn't doing it in that course alone but in whatever page we went into.

Fiona "It seems that the lecturer concerned also cottoned on as a quiz has now been built in the course."

In all my career as an English language teacher I had never come across that "cotton on" expression. Well, one learns every day! Thanks, Fiona,

Joseph
