What does this do?

It uses the custom post type feature to create a dedicated FAQ section in your WordPress site, including categories and tags exclusive to them.

How Do I Use It?

Each FAQ acts like a “post”. You can assign your own categories (called topics) or tags and organize as you see fit. You can also use shortcodes to place them on any page as follows:

• For the complete list:
  place [faq] on a post / page

• For a single FAQ:
  place [faq faq_id="ID"] on a post / page

• List all from a single FAQ topic category:
  place [faq faq_topic="topic-slug"] on a post / page

• List all from a single FAQ tag:
  place [faq faq_tag="tag-slug"] on a post / page

• List all from multiple FAQ tags:
  place [faq faq_tag=”tag-slug-1, tag-slug-2″] on a post / page

• List all from both FAQ topcis and FAQ tags:
  place [faq faq_topic=”topic-slug-1″ faq_tag=”tag-slug-2″] on a post / page

The list will show 10 FAQs based on your sorting (if none has been done, it will be in date order).
* To display only 5:
place [faq limit="5"] on a post / page

• To display ALL:
  place [faq limit="-1"] on a post / page

• For a list with a title and link to full FAQ:
  place [faqlist] on a post / page

• For a list with a group of titles that link to complete content later in page:
  place [faqcombo] on a post / page

• For a list of taxonomies (topics or tags) with a link to their respective archive page:
  place [faqtaxlist type="topics"] or [faqtaxlist type="tags"] on a post / page

• For a list of taxonomies (topics or tags) with their description:
  place [faqtaxlist type="topics (or tags)" desc="true"] on a post / page
