My last fix involved improving the formatting of Likert survey questions. The fix worked great on the survey questions themselves, and all was well until . . . . . . I revisited the quiz from the Building Blocks of Arguments topic, which had several fill-in-the-blank questions that now looked like this: Yikes! In the…

Grappling with quiz styling
The default stylings of LearnDash quizzes — especially quiz feedback — is abysmal. The most egregious aspect of the styling, in my view, is the between-paragraph or between-element vertical spacing. As an example, the screenshot below shows the the default styling (other than the colors I’ve already updated) when the user selects the “View Questions”…
