Our FAQs plugin makes it easy to create FAQ sections on your WordPress powered blog. Simply activate, add FAQ items + groups, then display them on a post or page by using a shortcode.

Features

Create as many FAQ items and groups as you like via familiar UI

Drag and drop to re-order your FAQ Items

Utilises WordPress custom post types and taxonomies

Output your FAQ’s using a simple shortcode

Choose to enable ‘folding’ – powered by javascript (click to open and close).

Optional index at the top of each FAQ

Installation

Upload the wp-faq plugin folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin from the WordPress admin panel

Your ready! In the WP admin panel you will now see the ‘FAQ’ section, just below posts.

Usage

Create FAQ Items (just like posts) from the Admin > FAQ Items page – you can even place them in categories (groups) if you want multiple FAQ lists.

From the FAQ Items admin page you can drag and drop to re-order your items. This order can be used by the shortcode (see below).

To show the FAQ use our [faq] shortcode in a post or page.

If you want to show it in the template itself use: echo do_shortcode('[faq]');

Shortcode Instructions

The [faq] shortcode can be inserted into WordPress posts and pages takes the following arguments:

id (optional) – ID of group to show, found by going to Admin > FAQ Items > FAQ Groups and hovering over a group.

name (optional) – Name of group to show found by going to Admin > FAQ Items > FAQ Groups.

slug (optional) – Slug of group to show found by going to Admin > FAQ Items > FAQ Groups.

folding (optional) – Set to true by default. Set to true to enable jQuery folding up of items, or false to have them all revealed.

orderby (optional) – title by default. Set to ‘menu_order’ to use the order your FAQ Items are defined (drag and drop to reorder).

show_index (optional) – true by default. Set to false to hide the index at the top of the faq list.

If you want to show a group of FAQ items you must use either id, name, or slug so the plugin knows what group to show, otherwise it will show all FAQ items.

Examples:

[faq name="Ninety"] – Show FAQ items in the ‘Ninety’ group

[faq name="Ninety" orderby="menu_order"] – Show FAQ items in the ‘Ninety’ group and order them using the drag and drop order.

[faq show_index="false"] – Show all FAQ Items without an index.

Additonal Notes / Support

If you find a bug with this plugin please give us full details in the comments section on CodeCanyon. From here we will assist.

However, we will not assist with styling and customisation issues – this is beyond the scope of support and should be performed by a developer/designer.
