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,

I'm afraid this is not possible. All content types can be downloaded only as a .h5p file.

Ading an editor / Transfering editing rights

How can I ad an editor or transfer the rights for my tasks? I want someone else to have the ability to work on or change my content.

Hi antonp,This depends on the

Hi antonp,

This depends on the platform that you are using. If you are using the plugin for Drupal, Wordpress or Moodle all administrators can edit the content created. If you are using H5P.com you can add other authors as collaborators so that they can also edit the content. You can read more about adding collaborators in this documentation: https://help.h5p.com/hc/en-us/articles/7521325114013-Share-and-embed-con...

about activity versions

how to update activity to the update version? and in Moodle, I have different versions of activities his it necessary to delete the old ones?

Mon, 04/24/2023 - 19:11

Hi Juan,If you go to Site

Hi Juan,

If you go to Site Administration -> plugins -> H5P -> H5P Libraries, you will see the list of libraries that are installed in Moodle. Under "Actions" there are some libraries with a green button. Clicking this button will update the libraries of the contents that are using them to the latest library version installed. Do note that there are some libraries that will have multiple versions. These are usually libraries of content types within other content type that have not been updated yet. It is not recommended to delete older libraries as contents that are using them will not work anymore.

Addtionally I would suggest that in the future to post your questions in the forums. There are more traffic there which means your questions may be answered faster also you can upload files like images in the forums which you cannot do in the documentation pages.

Changing Username

How can I change how my name appears so when others follow a link to my content and they see the questions they don’t see « posted by : my user name » ? I tried changing my display name but that doesn’t seem to change anything with my content. If I can’t hide my username so that it doesn’t show - how do I change my username to something else?

Mon, 06/26/2023 - 18:31

Hi abarysev,You cannot change

Hi abarysev,

You cannot change your username in H5P.org.

Hi Ángela,Where exactly did

Hi Ángela,

Where exactly did you create the Interactive Video? If it is in H5P.org I'm afraid we cannot retrieve any contents created here. On the other hand if it is H5P.com please reach out to [email protected] for further assistance.

Sending email to admin

Hi
Thanks for great plugin. I am using h5p in wordpress and wanted to ask you if it is possible to send notification email to admin when a student finish a course?
Thnaks in advance.

Thu, 10/12/2023 - 18:34

Hi Sara,Yes and no. This is

Hi Sara,

Yes and no. This is not possible within the features of H5P. However H5P emits data in the form of xAPI statements. This in turn can be captured by another plugin in Wordpress which may or may not have a feature of sending an email. I suggest that you look into the documentations below:

Canva integration?

I am wondering if I can integrate content with a website that I create using Canva?

Fri, 12/01/2023 - 17:59

Hi Catfish,If Canva allows

Hi Catfish,

If Canva allows embedding of iFrames then you can utilize the embed feature of H5P. If not you can still use the URL of the content.

Wix

I am creating informational content for a botanical garden on Wix.com and would love to embed H5P interactive elements on Wix. Is that possible? I plan to buy 2 months of H5P. Will the elements I created in these 2 months be accessible after that? Thanks in advance.

Mon, 01/15/2024 - 17:07

Hi ShamilaJ,Hosting is part

Hi ShamilaJ,

Hosting is part of the subscription to H5P.com so this means that once you cancel the license access to the contents will not be possible.
