[OT] Sub-thread originated here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=469122#p1883344. Perfectly OK if split and exiled.

Ken, you do more than your share on "with shared hosting, Softac, Bitnami, and the like". Yeah, it is healthy to keep out of other "movements" like the Cloud, Docker, etc., not to mention talking to phantoms, the much celebrated AI, I mean. You don't want to get stupid, do you:  Is ChatGPT making us stupid?

You know that Moodle needs two different PHP interpreters, one responding to Apache CGI and one direct command, typically /usr/bin/php? In a common Linux setup they are independent (could have different versions, differently installed).

Hi Chris

Yeah, the problem is unrelated to your plug-in! I have closed the ticket on GitHub. (That is what I thought. Please close it if not done.)

Got over the acute problem by replacing your question/type/crossword with the other crossword. Amazingly it still works, under Moodle 4.5 and PHP 8.1! Still we want to clean the site and switch to your plug-in, since the other plug-in has not been maintained for 4 years.

Yes, we know the report (attached below). There are only a few questions of this type, they are the same in all the courses, just duplicated through copying the course. Still, it is tedious to delete them through Moodle; lot of clicks and also those courses have explosions of question categories due to the incident I mentioned earlier. So my question is, do you or anybody else know a DB query to remove all questions of type crossword from the whole site?
