Heads up!
This article contains PHP code and is intended for developers. We offer this code as a courtesy, but don't provide support for code customizations or 3rd party development.

Add extra seconds to the time limit before a late submission is rejected. This absorbs the round trip between the visitor’s countdown hitting zero and their submission reaching the server. Defaults to 30 seconds.

Usage

add_filter( 'frm_quizzes_timer_grace_period', '__return_zero' );

Formidable Forms makes advanced site building simple. Launch forms, directories, dashboards, and custom WordPress apps faster than ever before.

Examples

Enforce the limit exactly, no grace period

add_filter( 'frm_quizzes_timer_grace_period', '__return_zero' );

Scale the allowance with the quiz length: 10% of the limit, 5-second floor


add_filter( 'frm_quizzes_timer_grace_period', function( $grace, $args ) {
    return max( 5, (int) ( $args['duration'] * 0.1 ) );
}, 10, 2 );
