I'm looking for a wordpress plugin that simply lets me ask the user a question and have a text box that lets them enter an answer as they please. I've looked at many questionnaire plugins but they all seem to have just the option to answer the question from a selection of sample answers. i.e checkboxes with answer a, b or c etc.
You can use any form builder plugin. Not only questionnaire plugins. Unless there is a reason that you cannot and we cannot understand without more content on your question.
Ninja forms
Gravity Forms
Formidable Forms
Are only some of them. Create a new Form. Add a paragraph element for your Question and a textarea for the answer.
Then you can use a shortcode to load it on the page and check the answers on the submitted entries on the backend.

I am trying to make a WordPress plugin, for my own personal use and learning. It is a form creation plugin, like many others that already exist, gravity forms, caldera forms and others. I have some things already done, like listing the created forms.
My next step is to create a page called 'new form', or something like that. This page must allow the creation of a form with the fields that the user selects. Create fields of text type, checkbox, textarea and others. With configurable names and options.
Something similar to this type of pages:
Gravity Forms
Caldera Forms:
My problem is, I don't even know how to start. I'm not looking for someone to give me the job done or a step-by-step guide or anything like that. I'm looking for is orientation. I want to know how to start, or where to look for information. Learn, and know if these types of pages are made with the WordPress API and classes, if it is a completely new development, if there are libraries that I can use, etc.
Any advice is welcome. Thank you so much for everything!.

I'm a long-time web developer, but a wordpress newbie :) and trying to reason about WP architecture for multipage plugins.
For a project of mine I wish to create a wordpress plugin, which runs on multiple number of pages, each with a different view, based on the specific route.
for example, my project is a remote-events app, with different views in every step of the event registration process - events catalog; event page (with more details); event registration; checkout and payment.
I don't expect my users to create multiple pages, embed different shortcodes per views and wire the proper routes. A single-click plugin installation should do it for them.
does anyone has experience or know of an example of this kind of plugin model?
Thanks!
The catalog and single page are the natural pages created for each new post type.

If you create a new post type, let's say "Events", you can get a new archive page that shows the list of Event posts and you will be able to have inner views for all the events. It is possible to create default templates for this type of page:
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/#custom-post-types
For other pages, I think that you can do the same way as Woocommerce did - they have the shortcodes placed on the specific page like Checkout or shopping Cart, but those pages are auto-created.
This will allow users to wrap your Checkout content with some CTAs, banners, or other content without touching the actual template - some flexibility with Single-click installation.
I am using wordpress with woocommerce and I want to list products based on the answers by customers. I am using gravity form for question and answers. One question should be appear at a time. When we go for next question by clicking next, the page is reloading, but I want it should be in ajax.
Here is the shortcode am using,
[gravityform id="1" title="false" description="false" ajax="true"]
The ajax is not working. Any Help appreciated.

I stumbled up on one problem with revisions that I have to use for on website im building in wordpress.
So, it goes something like this. I installed Capability Manager plugin so I was able to make a new role account and set the permissions for that role. After that I installed Revisionary. What I basically did is that I copied Contributor role and removed some things. So new account now can edit only their own post. When the post is edited revisionary (the plugin) enables only "send to a revision" option, so the user cant publish it. The thing is even if the post is new or was already published, every change needs a revision and I managed to do that. After that I installed the plugin called "Manage your posts only". I need that one so a new user who can add new posts is unable to see other posts that he is not author of.
BUT I have a small problem. The revisionary plugin doesnt work with custom post types, fields etc. (Woothemes theme in this particular situation). So only thing that can be changed is a post text and title, everything else below the post, custom fields and so on are ignored by revisionary. I need your help guys and your opinions what would be the best solution for this problem.
i did a little searching around and found this - it seems the original plugin hasn't developed support for custom post types but this exta plugin adds that support

just a quick one, are you aware of any wordpress form plugins that allow me to create a form and depending on which options they select, it will display a certain bit of information that submits to a selected email.
Im trying to achieve a web request form for clients and would like them to be able to fill out information as well as select a check box for a certain amount of questions. For example,"would you like to update your own content?"
if they check this box, i would like the form to render all the information in the form and then depending on which checkbox is selected it will give me a bit of content that is different. im trying to automate a proposal template so it writes all this content in an email so i can quickly do proposals for websites etc.
Yes, gravity forms does this. And it's very easy too.

It is called 'conditional logic'. You enable this on a field, which will display conditional drop downs which you can choose previous 'multiple choice' questions to base your conditions on.
Think you have to pay for this plugin but you could probably find version 4 as a download somewhere to demo before you buy.
You won't be disappointed.
