                        Uninstall WirisQuizzes for Moodle

                        Reading time: 1min

                        If you choose to uninstall WirisQuizzes for Moodle, we recommend uninstalling it via the Moodle user interface. If you prefer, you can uninstall it manually by following these steps.

                        Moodle interface uninstall

                        You can uninstall WirisQuizzes question types like any Moodle question type. All WirisQuizzes question types require/depend on WirisQuizzes, so you need to uninstall the rest before uninstalling WirisQuizzes.

                        To do so, you just need to delete every question type using the Uninstall link next to the question type. Remember to delete all the questions of each type first, then uninstall the question type. Finally, remove the associated files from {MOODLE_URL}/question/type.

                        Manual uninstall

                        If you have written any questions of these types, you won't see the Uninstall link. However, you can remove the files related to that question type from {MOODLE_URL}/question/type, and any question you had will be moved to the Moodle Missing type question type. If you choose this option to uninstall, you must only delete {MOODLE_URL}/question/type/wq if you've deleted the rest of the WirisQuizzes question types. With this option, every WirisQuizzes question you had will stop working.

                        In order to preserve database coherence, the qtype_wq and qtype_essaywiris_backup tables must be deleted, and the following registers must be deleted from config_plugins table: qtype_essaywiris, qtype_matchwiris, qtype_multianswerwiris, qtype_multichoicewiris, qtype_shortanswerwiris, qtype_truefalsewiris.
