This plugin is designed to be a simple solid base for managing an FAQ section on your web site.

It consists of:

  • A simple ‘faq’ post type
  • [faqs /] shortcode
  • FAQ search widget
  • FAQ search form template tag
  1. Upload the faqz folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Why aren’t there may options and features?

This is just a first release. More to come…

Why so many breaking changes in version 2.0?

The main post type was changed to faq so the plugin is easier to migrate to/from other FAQ plugins. Front end CSS classes were changed to reflect this and follow a more predictable BEM format. Code and plugin hooks retained their faqz namespace. It is possible to reinstate some backward compatibility using the filters mentioned in the changelog and updating your template names and CSS files.
