FAQ Plugin

In my FAQ, I have html in the answer to the second question. There shouldn’t be any html in the questions as they are just short ones on my site.

Thanks VaamYob – I’ll download latest version now and report any errors.

Did you consider my suggestion re: the ability to turn off category allocation on a question by question basis?

————-

Update: Downloading was a breeze. No errors to report.

Re: Thanks so much for taking on board new suggestions VaamYob. I noticed after I installed your latest version the checkbox to allocate questions to Categories on a question by question basis. Thank you very much!

Just a note: While I haven’t checked any category in this trial run, output on the page still shows a default category with each question, which in my case is “Articles” as it is the first category alphabetically?

Sorry VaamYob – you did put my suggestion to good use – I just failed to refresh! It now works. I can allocate a question to a category if I want to – or I can just post a FAQ without allocating a category. Brilliant!

PS: Other than unchecking a category to the two mock questions I have, with answers, on my page I’m only getthing the question to appear but no answer. I’ve approved the questions in the admin panel, used my daughter’s name and email address in the particulars section but still no answer.

You can see it HERE.

I looked under the hood and saw this with both answers: style="display:none;

How can I get around this?

katie1,

you downloaded the zip file while it was “in limbo”

please get the latest. It now has the ability to hide the answers and only show an answer when the user specifically clicks on a question.

See it in action here:

Sorry – I failed to provide a better understanding of where and what ??

That’s: <div id="faq_a_2" class="faq_a"style="display:none;">

Thanks – will download now. And I really mean it: Thank you for this brilliant plugin.

I appreciate it greatly!

Worked like a charm!

I looked on your site but could not find an FAQ, what’s the url ?

VaamYob – it is possible to allow an option to display question author’s name and the replying author on a question by question basis?

ie:
Question by Person 1
Answer by Kate

Question by Person 2
Answer by Sub-Editor

URL for testing purposes: https://strictlyromance.com/test/faq

I don’t store who answered the question, only who asked it.

Although it wouldn’t be too difficult to store that information.

I take that back, I DO have a column for storing who answered the question. I just never populate it.

So, it should be easier than I thought.

Great. Will wait for your input.

I upgraded to the latest and this new feature where the answer will show up when you click on the question is a great feature. ??

Just wondering if it is possible to have an option where by the person will get an email notification after I approved the question?

Truth,

I was thinking of putting a button/link next to their email (if supplied) that you can click to send them a link to the faq and the answer.

VaamYob, that’s a great idea too, it would be good if it has this new feature ??

I’m amazed at how quickly this came together, and how flexible you’ve been with user input. Nice job!

My FAQ is here:

https://www.lisavollrath.com/faq

I just announced it to my 3100 subscribers, and told them to go ahead and ask me questions. I should know by tomorrow whether they like it or not—they’re a pretty vocal group.

Things I’m wishing for:

* The ability to use the FAQ plugin to display selected FAQs on pages—say, a complete category of them. I have some FAQs on pages other than the one posted above, pertaining to the content on those pages. It would be great to be able to run them all through the same tool.
* The ability to apply a sort order to the questions. The first question I usually put into a category is “What is (name of category here)?”. This question should be the first one the viewer sees, but right now, as more questions are submitted, it is moved to the bottom of the list.
