Hi jennwright,Can you try
Hi jennwright,
Can you try resizing the browser? I have seen this issue before and resizing the browser creates a scrollbar and you should see the prompt to enable the hub. If this does not resolve the issue you may want to consider unistalling/reinstalling the plugin as I am under the impression that this is newly installed. After installation there is actually a prompt askign you if you want to enable the hub.

Zooming out in the browser worked!
Thank you, BV! When I zoomed out enough in the browser, I was able to see a "Confirmation action" pop-up with two warnings (details below). Interestingly, I thought we had already addressed these two specific issues so I'll have to double check on that. But after I clicked Confirm on the pop-up, I was able to click the Save Changes button, and the content hub is showing up now. Thanks again for your help!!
Text from the popup:
Your PHP version does not support ZipArchive
Your PHP max upload size is quite small. With your current setup, you may not upload files larger than 2.00 MB. This might be a problem when trying to upload H5Ps, images and videos. Please consider to increase it to more than 5MB.
Do you still want to enable the hub?

Hi jennwright,I'm glad it
Hi jennwright,
I'm glad it worked. I actually discovered this by accident :)
With regards to the "Your PHP version does not support ZipArchive" this post may help: https://h5p.org/node/457369
Lastly for the size limit you may want to double check just to be sure.

Hello!
Could you please tell me?
For example, I have a test that consists of ten questions. Can I create unique links to each of the questions?

Loading issues
Hi Guys, I have h5p setup and have created some content whivh works well the problem I am having is that the page load is quite bad. The h5p content is very slow to load or sometimes doesn't load at all. Is this a limitation of the h5p.org in presenting the content, is the wordpress plugin suitable for use in a production envirnoment? is there a way to improve the loading of content? What is the optimal setup for this to work as fast possible? Currently on a cloud server with very little use. Thanks.

juego de memorama
Instale un juego de memorama, todo bien, mi pregunta es si puedo agregar un boton cuando finalizan el juego? hay un botón que dice volver a intentar, colocar otro que te lleve a una url X, te comento del memorama pero puede aplicar a cualquier juego al finalizarlo. Se puede agregar la opción en el codigo o en el plugin. Quedo atento, gracias.

Hi miankashifmunir,
You can download the sample content and then upload it in Wordpress to install the libraries of Advance/Complex Fill in the Blanks. Please note that you need administrator access to be able to install libraries.

Any Update on WordPress Timer for H5P Content.
I just got on board using this innovative software. Thank you for giving this software to the world!
I have read several comments and posts on timing H5P content, but the posts all seem to have been from several years back.
Being a teacher who has no coding skill, is there a way now in WordPress that I can implement a countdown timer to end an H5P content at the end of the count and restart when “retry”?
