I have been unable to get normal array questions to work.
If I create a standard array (or number or text array) question with custom answer options I just get an empty screen. Changing the question type to Array 10/5 point choice or even array by column works fine. It appears to be a problem only with pages that should show the custom answers along the x axis
There are no conditions for the question. Viewing the source for the blank page shows:

Thanks for the response. I am using the latest version, the default template, and the install and hosting are at LimeService. I did upload my survey to the demo site to see if that made any difference, but it did not. The arrays still didn't work.
Interestingly, about an hour after I submitted a support ticket to LimeSurvey, the original array question that I couldn't get to work mysteriously began to work. However, subsequent array questions that I set up using the same settings do not work. This is a bit befuddling. Here are the settings I am using:
ADVANCED SETTINGS
Repeat headers:
Hide tip: Yes
(Sub-)question width:
Random order: Off
Always hide this question: No
Use dropdown presentation: No
Relevance help for printable survey:
Each of the array questions use predefined label sets for the options, have approximately 20 subquestions, and are the only question within a group (for display purposes).
In the attachments below, I have included screenshots of the following:
1 - my question set
2 - my label set
3 - my question settings
4 - the preview result
Can you please attach your current survey for testing?

Weird error. Try deleting the question and group and set it up again.

It turns out that if there is a question group that has no questions in it, subsequent question groups will not display their questions properly — at least arrays don't display properly.
I discovered this by accident when I added a question to a an empty question group and then all of the subsequent question groups that had previously not worked, suddenly worked perfectly — including the arrays. This is also why my first array question didn't initially work. There was a previous question group that was empty of questions. Once I added a question to the group, voila! The array worked.
I don't know whether this raises to the level of a program bug, but I will submit a bug report so the good people at Lime Survey can be aware of this issue.
Now that I figured out how to get all of the questions to show up, I am loving to program and am making a donation to help support the project.
Thanks for sharing your findings and posting a bug report. We'll check if we can fix this.
