<h4>About</h4>
<p>With this lightweight plugin you can create a knowledge base that contains your categories and posts.</p>
<p>To display your knowledge base you can use a block, a shortcode or a widget.</p>
<p>You can customize your knowledge base with attributes.</p>
<p>It’s also possible to display categories and posts from a custom post type (such as WooCommerce product categories and products).</p>
<p>With this plugin you can also create a FAQ or wiki in the same way as a knowledge base.</p>
<h4>How to use</h4>
<p>After installation add the VS Knowledge Base block or the shortcode <code>[knowledgebase]</code> to a page to display your knowledge base.</p>
<p>Or go to Appearance > Widgets and use the VS Knowledge Base widget.</p>
<p>Default settings categories:</p>
<ul>
<li>4 columns when using block or shortode</li>
<li>1 column when using widget</li>
<li>Order by name</li>
<li>Ascending order (A-Z)</li>
<li>Empty categories are hidden</li>
<li>Parent and subcategories are displayed separately</li>
</ul>
<p>Default settings posts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Order by date</li>
<li>Descending order (new to old)</li>
<li>All posts are displayed</li>
</ul>
<p>You can customize your knowledge base with attributes.</p>
<h4>Attributes</h4>
<p>You can customize your knowledge base by adding attributes to the block, the shortcode or the widget.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add custom CSS class to knowledge base: <code>class="your-class-name"</code></li>
<li>Change the number of columns: <code>columns="3"</code></li>
<li>Disable the columns: <code>columns="0"</code></li>
<li>Include certain categories: <code>include="1,3,5"</code></li>
<li>Exclude certain categories: <code>exclude="8,10,12"</code></li>
<li>Display empty categories too: <code>hide_empty="0"</code></li>
<li>Display category description: <code>category_description="true"</code></li>
<li>Change the number of posts per category: <code>posts_per_category="5"</code></li>
<li>Reverse the order of posts: <code>order="ASC"</code></li>
<li>Display posts by title: <code>orderby="title"</code></li>
<li>Display posts in random order: <code>orderby="rand"</code></li>
<li>Display post counter: <code>post_count="true"</code></li>
<li>Display post meta (date and author): <code>post_meta="true"</code></li>
<li>Display View All link: <code>view_all_link="true"</code></li>
<li>Change label of View All link: <code>view_all_link_label="your label"</code></li>
<li>Change label of post without title: <code>no_post_title_label="your label"</code></li>
<li>Change the “no categories are found” text: <code>no_categories_text="your text"</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Example: <code>[knowledgebase include="1,3,5" hide_empty="0" post_meta="true"]</code></p>
<p>When using the block or the widget, don’t add the main shortcode tag or the brackets.</p>
<p>Example: <code>include="1,3,5" hide_empty="0" post_meta="true"</code></p>
<p>With the columns attribute you can set the number of columns between 1 and 4.</p>
<p>The knowledge base becomes 2 columns in small screens (except when number of columns is set to 1).</p>
<p>You can also disable the columns. This can be handy if you only want to use your own styling.</p>
<p>The columns attribute will be ignored when using the block or widget. Because you can set the columns via the block or widget settings.</p>
<h4>Post tags</h4>
<p>Besides displaying posts by category you can also display posts by tag: <code>taxonomy="post_tag"</code></p>
<h4>Custom post types</h4>
<p>It’s also possible to display categories and posts from a custom post type (such as WooCommerce product categories and products).</p>
<p>To display these categories and posts you should add 2 attributes: “taxonomy” and “post_type”</p>
<p>WooCommerce:</p>
<ul>
<li>Product categories and products: <code>taxonomy="product_cat" post_type="product"</code></li>
<li>Include product category image: <code>taxonomy="product_cat" post_type="product" woo_image="true"</code></li>
<li>Display by tag instead of category: <code>taxonomy="product_tag" post_type="product"</code></li>
</ul>
<h4>Have a question?</h4>
<p>Please take a look at the FAQ section.</p>
<h4>Translation</h4>
<p>Translations are not included, but the plugin supports WordPress language packs.</p>
<p>More <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/very-simple-knowledge-base" rel="nofollow ugc">translations</a> are very welcome!</p>
<p>The translation folder inside this plugin is redundant, but kept for reference.</p>
<h4>Credits</h4>
<p>Without help and support from the WordPress community I was not able to develop this plugin, so thank you!</p>

BetterDocs –  Knowledge Base Documentation & FAQ Solution for Elementor & Block Editor

I have tested several plugins to create our TrueRanker knowledge base.

I will definitely choose this plugin. The support seems to me very good too.

Congratulations.

It has everything you need to create a good knowledge base.

Hi, For me, the links to go to the previous and next article under the articles are not according to the order of the menu on the left side of the articles, how can I solve this problem?? 🙏

Problem in Sort!


Great support, very helpful team! 👍



This plugin helped us to create well structured documentation and searchable pages.


Great support

Great plugin!


It is simple to setup and easy to use. 


Great plugin

The plugin looks great on the front-end and the way content is managed is very intuitive. The automatic Table of Contents is a godsend!

Couldn't be happier


I was able to quickly set up 2 knowledge bases for my projects quickly and they look great, with convenient search. The pricing of the premium version is very reasonable. I can only recommend it. 


Solid plugin, good customer service

I posted a support thread last month requesting the FSE compatibility feature, and they have added it.

Thank you, BetterDocs Team ❤️

Thank you for FSE compatibility!


I recently evaluated different documentation plugins and BetterDocs has a great feature set and a quick support. I opened a ticket after an update, and they fixed the bug within the same day and released a hotfix. This is a great support experience.


Great Plugin – Greate Support


It's a very solid knowledgebase plugin, so if that's all you're after, then it's a 5 star. Their Instant Answer component is lacking some very basic things like the ability to collect additional information (ie. a company name). There's also no chat or ticket component which I believe would put this over the top.


Solid, but lacking


Reported a feedback issue, and the BetterDocs team fixed it quickly with a dev update. Tested and confirmed it's working great. Really appreciate the fast and helpful support!


Fast fast and helpful support

A full-featured documentation plugin including AI writing assistance to create knowledge bases, docs, FAQs, wikis, and more with easy drag & drop UI.
