Is the "Find-the-words" content type missing from the HUB?

Bugs in content types

Hello, I am setting up a new installation of H5P (v.1.17.4) on WordPress. When adding content types using the HUB, the option to install the “find-the-words” content type does not appear. When I try to install it by uploading an example downloaded from the official website, I get the following message: “Validating h5p package failed. Missing main library H5P.FindTheWords 1.4”.

Just a few weeks ago, using version 1.17, I was able to use this content type without any issues. My question is: has the “Find-the-words” content type been discontinued in the application, or is this a temporary problem? Is anyone else missing this content type in the HUB?

Note: I can use the rest of the content without any problems.

Thank you for your attention.

It seems that H5P Group is in fact currently not serving that content type. If by choice or accident, only they can tell.

Hi Haz,

I'm not 100% sure but I think the reason it is not readily available is that it is not accessible and no one is actively managing its libraries. I can ask the devs but it may take time to get some answers due to some important updates that needs to be released plus most of the team will be on a holiday the last week of March. Anyway can you try the content that I attached in this email.

Understandable. But it would be great to at least find some notes about such a removal then.

And there would be more content types just like that: Image Sequencing, Image Pairing, Personality Quiz, and Find Multiple Hotspots.

I agree, we'll have to wait for the information. I will also forward your suggestion.

Hi Oliver,

So it has been overlooked and was added today. There should be no problems installing it or any of the other content types that you mentioned.

Thank you for your contribution, it seems that this content loads the library without any issue.

Thank you for your clarifications. It is clear to me that we will have to wait for this type of content to be updated by an interested developer or for some official explanation. Thank you in advance.
