FAQ & troubleshooting
Answers to the questions that come up most.
Does this require anything else?
Yes — the EntGenAI companion plugin must be installed and active. An AI provider API key is only needed if you want AI-assisted word lists; everything else works without one.
Is there a shortcode?
No. Puzzles are added as real Gutenberg blocks (“Ev Crossword Viewer”, “Ev Word Search Viewer”, “Ev Checkered Force”, “Ev Dots and Boxes”, “Ev Quiz Viewer”), not a shortcode.
Can I use the same puzzle on more than one page?
Yes. Every puzzle is saved independently of any page. Add the viewer block on as many pages as you like and pick the same puzzle each time. (Interactive Quizzes go further: every page showing that quiz always reflects your latest saved edit — see Interactive Quizzes (EVQ).)
Why does my puzzle show a “Puzzles powered by Entreveloper” link?
That link appears on every crossword, word search, Checkered Force, Dots and Boxes, and Interactive Quiz viewer in the free version, linking to the Entreveloper pricing page. Upgrading to Pro removes it automatically.
An image in my quiz isn't showing up — what do I do?
Make sure the image is already uploaded to your Media Library, then reference it in the quiz script by its filename (e.g. photo.jpg) — the plugin matches it up automatically by filename when the page is viewed. If you just uploaded the image, view the page again; no need to re-save the quiz or the page. If two different uploads share the exact same filename, the most recently uploaded one wins.
Is there a paid version?
Yes — EV Puzzles Pro adds scheduled/automated daily puzzles, reader streaks and leaderboards, deeper retention analytics, printable/PDF crossword hints, multi-site licensing for agencies, and removes the credit link. See entreveloper.com/pricing.
My AI-generated word list looks wrong — what do I do?
Edit it directly in the textarea before generating a grid. The AI's output is a starting point meant to be reviewed, not a final answer.
