Very Simple Knowledge Base free WordPress plugin

About This is a lightweight plugin to create a knowledge base. Add the shortcode on a page or use the widget to display your categories and posts. You can personalize your knowledge base by adding attributes to the shortcode or the widget. This plugin can also be used to create a FAQ, wiki or link portal. You can also list categories and posts from a custom post type (such as “product” or “event”). How to use After installation create a page and add the shortcode to display your categories and posts: For 1 column: [knowledgebase-one] For 2 columns: [knowledgebase-two] For 3 columns: [knowledgebase-three] For 4 columns: [knowledgebase] In mobile screens 2 columns (except the 1 column knowledge base). Or go to Appearance > Widgets and use the widget to display your categories and posts. Default settings categories: Ascending order (A-Z) Empty categories are hidden Parent and subcategories are listed separately Default settings posts: Descending order (by date) All posts are displayed Shortcode attributes You can add attributes to the 4 shortcodes mentioned above. Include certain categories: include=”1,3,5″ Exclude certain categories: exclude=”8,10,12″ Display empty categories too: hide_empty=”0″ Display category description: description=”true” Change number of posts per category: posts_per_page=”5″ Display posts in ascending order: order=”asc” Display posts by title: orderby=”title” Display posts in random order: orderby=”rand” Display number of posts (post count) count=”true” Display post meta (date and author): meta=”true” Display View All link: all_link=”true” Change label of View All link: all_link_label=”your label here” Change label of post without title: no_title_label=”your label here” Change CSS class of knowledge base: class=”your-class-here” Examples: One attribute: [knowledgebase posts_per_page=”5″] One attribute: [knowledgebase-two include=”1,3,5″] Multiple attributes: [knowledgebase include=”1,3,5″ hide_empty=”0″ meta=”true”] Widget attributes The widget supports the same attributes. You don’t have to add the main shortcode tag or the brackets. Examples: One attribute: posts_per_page=”5″ Multiple attributes: include=”1,3,5″ hide_empty=”0″ meta=”true” Post tags Besides listing posts by category you can also list posts by tag: taxonomy=”post_tag” Custom post types You can also list categories and posts from a custom post type (such as “product” or “event”). To list these categories and posts you should add 2 shortcode attributes: “taxonomy” and “post_type” You can for example list WooCommerce products: List products: taxonomy=”product_cat” post_type=”product” List products with product category image: taxonomy=”product_cat” post_type=”product” woo_image=”true” List products by tag instead of category: taxonomy=”product_tag” post_type=”product” Link portal To display a list of website links you can install the Page Links To plugin. While creating a post you can set a redirect to an URL (website) of your choice. When you click the post link in the frontend of your website it will redirect you to this URL (so the post will not open). Question? Please take a look at the FAQ section.
