Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use H5P.org to host my H5P content?

H5P.org is for testing purposes only. You should not use it to host "real" content. Self host or use H5P.com instead.

H5P without a CMS?

You can display H5P content on any website as embeds from H5P.com or a publishing platform with H5P support.

If you would like to create your own plugin for your website, you could try porting the h5p-php-editor library into the language of your choice.

Can I customise H5P?

If you have a little bit of experience with HTML and CSS or the desire to learn how to write code, the answer is 'Yes!'. H5P is open source and everything you install on your site is yours to customise and modify. Take some time to read the documentation on this page. Feel free to ask the developer forum for help. You can find almost all the code related to H5P here.

How can I customise the H5P Editor to match the style of my site?

If you aren't able to customise the code yourself, the answer is probably 'no'. Most of the customisation related to H5P Content Types is visible in the settings in each of their editors. If you can't find what you're looking for there, I recommend reading this page and searching the forums or finding a web developer to do it for you.

With some knowledge of HTML and CSS, you can customise the look of your H5P Editor and H5P content types to the theme and colour scheme of any website. For example, you can change the style of the editor by following this tutorial.

Can I make my content private?

It is not possible to make content private on H5P.org. If you want full control of your content types, have a go at using H5P in one of the supported plugins.

How do I store results and user statistics?

Documentation on storing results can be found here.

How can I add more questions?

You can use Quiz (Question Set), Course Presentation or Column to add more questions. You can also add different content types or activities

Hi Miriamsr,H5P does not have

Hi Miriamsr,

H5P does not have a built in e-mail feature. However in theory this is possible by using an LRS that has this capability. H5P emits data in the form of xAPI statements and you will need a plugin or custom code to listen to these statements and a data store such as a learning record store to save them in.

I highly recommend looking through these documentation:

https://h5p.org/documentation/x-api

Interactive Book

Hi, I have difficulties embedding the url for the interactive book as it appears to be a blank screen when i preview it on my LMS. I had tried embedding the other functions from H5P and they are all working fine. I am wondering if there is any thing i need to take note of before embedding the interactive book.

Thu, 04/23/2020 - 18:30

Hi Alanteng,The Interactive

Hi Alanteng,

The Interactive Book content type cannot handle a blank chapter, having said this please make sure that you do not have any blank chapters in your content.

Hi BV,Thank you for your

Hi BV,

Thank you for your reply. I do have content in the interactive book and i am able to view it at H5P. However when i embed to my LMS, i was unable to view the content and there is only a blank page. Was wondering if it is a bug.

I have another issue now. I was inserting the drag and drop activities to my interactive video and managed to upload 2 of it. However, i did not managed to insert the 3rd drag and drop activity as i realised that the drag and drop tab on top is missing.

Appreciate your help in my queries. Thank you.

Wed, 04/29/2020 - 18:17

Hi Alanteng,It that case

It that case please check your browser console as it might provide some clues to what is causing the issue.

Regarding the missing Drag and Drop, to provide a best possible experience for new users and to ensure that people use H5P.org only for trying out H5P (we've had more traffic than our server can handle lately, ref also the warnings when you create content, embed content and view the content) we are experimenting with which content types should be available here. We might have a different set of content types next week.

Check the getting started page for information on how you can use all the content types and use H5P for real. We unfortunately are not able to provide free hosting, only free software :) Hopefully you'll consider supporting the H5P Core Team by using H5P.com.

Hi Mukul kumar singh,The test

Hi Mukul kumar singh,

The test drive feature on H5P.org is intended for users who are trying out H5P for the first time. We are experimenting with limiting the number of content types available to make the test drive experience less overwhelming for new users. To access all H5P content types and use H5P for real see the getting started page.

If you deactivate the plugin you will not lose the contents that you created. If you uninstall it without backing up you will lose the contents.

Open Questions in Interactive Content

Is it possible for the interactive content to have open questions without correct or wrong answers, with the filled info being displayed for the teacher in Moodle? Most of the exercises in my courses are open forms, and to translated them the "Fill in the blanks" suits the structure but it displays wrong or right when the answers depend on context and can't be neither wrong or right.

Thanks in advance.

Wed, 10/21/2020 - 18:36

Hi gcfattor,If your aim is to

Hi gcfattor,

If your aim is to create a content with open ended questions you can use the Documentation Tool with only standard pages and the document export page. I create a crude example for you here to try to demonstrate this.

Thu, 10/22/2020 - 15:59

Thank you for your quick

Thank you for your quick answer and the demo. Is there a way to save the content after submitting the answers? Like having the information stay there after they have left the page and come back? I push the submit button and have Save Content State enabled on Moodle but it doesn't seem to work.

Thu, 10/22/2020 - 19:06

Hi gcfattor,I'm sorry but

I'm sorry but this is not possible. Last time I checked Documentation Tool does not support the save content state feature. There are plans to have it included but I do not have a timeline for it.

Thu, 10/22/2020 - 20:11

Are there any other

Are there any other alternative types of content who do support the Save Content feature? If so, which ones do support it?

Fri, 10/23/2020 - 18:45

Hi gcfattor,Almost all

Almost all content types supports save content state. On top of my head Interactive Book and Questionnare doesn't.

Fri, 10/23/2020 - 18:59

I'm sorry I don't understand.

I'm sorry I don't understand. I thought that the Documentation Tool does not support that according to your previous comments, also I've been trying the other h5p contents with Save Content State enabled on my Moodle 3.9 and none of them save the content after reloading the page, is that intended behaviour, am I misunderstanding the Save Content State function?

Fri, 10/23/2020 - 19:08

Hi gcfattor,Sorry I forgot to

Sorry I forgot to include Documentation Tool in the list. There is a setting how often the save content state triggers, it may have been set longer than the time you've spent on the content.

Submiting files inside H5P activities

Hi! Thanks for all your hard work, I use Moodle platform and almost exclusively now I use H5P activities, loving "Interactive book" because it's very easy to use for small children. I have two questions:

1. Is there a way to add more activities within the "Interactive book" such as "Find the words", "Flashcards" or "Virtual Tour"? The idea is to put everything in one single motion when they navigate the site and have a score at the end.

2. Is there a way to upload files inside "Interactive book" as an asigment? Because what I do now is I create an task within Moodle and link it with a page of the "Interactive book", the problem is when they go back to the book... it doesn't record the previous progress.

Thanks in advance for your repply.

This is a demo of one the topics on my site

Mon, 11/23/2020 - 18:28

Hi vickirush,I'm not sure

Hi vickirush,

I'm not sure regarding the plans of the H5P core team regarding Interactive Book. However what I'm sure is that there are still a lot in store for it so it may be possible that more content types will still be added.
I don't think adding an option to upload files into contents will happen anytime soon. It could open some potential security risks.

Embeding H5P in Wordpress

Hello,

I discovered that I cannot embed my H5P content to my Wordpress site. If I insert iframe code, I can see the content ok but it is not visible in preview or when I publish the content. What is the problem? Is it because I dont have business plan in wordpress (and I cannot use H5P plugin) or is it something else? How to fix this problem?
