    Regarding to your questions:

    1.- There is no problem to put on production WIRIS quizzes if "mod_security" test fails. These tests checks that "<>" and "><" expressions can be sent by a get request. Under certain circumstances, WIRIS quizzes could fail if these expression can't be sent but, in any case, is a security issue. Seems that test info is a bit confusing so we will change that on our next release.

    2.- Checking the filter settings link we notice that fails on Moodle 2.4. In the next release these issue will be fixed.

    3.- WIRIS quizzes, as Moodle itself, needs a cron process on your server. If you have a cron process in it, you don't have to do anything specific. You can find more info about cron process on Moodle here: https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Cron

    Thanks for your feedback.

    Hi,
    Wiris question types require use Java browser applets and require JRE to be installed on users' computers/devices. This is either impractical or impossible in many cases. So now I need to uninstall them from Moodle 2.9. I've found old instructions for Moodle 1.9 on how to do this but not for Moodle 2.x. Additionally, I've been through all the Site administration settings trying to find a way to make the question types uninstallable. I've managed to uninstall a couple of them but the rest remain and do not have working uninstall links.

    Obviously, if I just delete the WIRIS directories and their contents from /moodle/question/type/ Moodle will continually return "Missing from disc!" errors in administration pages, which is unacceptable.

    Can you please provide comprehensive uninstall instructions for Moodle 2.9 for ALL the WIRIS plugins, including which Moodle core files have been altered and which database tables have been created? Thank you in advance.

    WIRIS quizzes question types can be uninstalled just like any other Moodle question type: deleting associated questions first and uninstall question types later.

    Detailed uninstall instructions can be found here: http://www.

    If you are still having problems, please feel free to contact us at support@wiris.com

    Hi,

    The link you've provided leads me to a login page. http://www.wiris.com/en/quizzes/docs/moodle/install/uninstall This probably explains why I couldn't find the Moodle 2.x uninstall instructions via web searches (Only the old Moodle 1.9 version). Can you please provide a link to a publicly accessible version of the uninstall instructions?

    All I want to do is get rid of the unwanted WIRIS plugins and database entries, nothing else.

    Hi everybody,
    I think there is a litte error into the zip file preventing installation ... the "mother folder" into the zip file is "types" but in the moodle tree (...moodle/question/type) is type; I changed "types" in "type" and installatation was succesful. Hope this info is useful.
    Bye,
    Rich

    @Ricardo We changed the name from types to type on purpose inside the zip package to prevent replacing the whole Moodle's type directory accidentally.
    On step 2 at http://www.wiris.com/en/quizzes/docs/moodle/install we indicate that you need to copy the content of the types folder into the folder question/type.
