<h4>About</h4>
With this lightweight plugin you can create a knowledge base that contains your categories and posts.
To display your knowledge base you can use a block, a shortcode or a widget.
You can customize your knowledge base with attributes.
It’s also possible to display categories and posts from a custom post type (such as WooCommerce product categories and products).
With this plugin you can also create a FAQ or wiki in the same way as a knowledge base.
<h4>How to use</h4>
After installation add the VS Knowledge Base block or the shortcode <code>[knowledgebase]</code> to a page to display your knowledge base.
Or go to Appearance > Widgets and use the VS Knowledge Base widget.
Default settings categories:
<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>
Default settings posts:
<ul>
<li>Order by date</li>
<li>Descending order (new to old)</li>
<li>All posts are displayed</li>
</ul>
You can customize your knowledge base with attributes.
<h4>Attributes</h4>
You can customize your knowledge base by adding attributes to the block, the shortcode or the widget.
<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>
Example: <code>[knowledgebase include="1,3,5" hide_empty="0" post_meta="true"]</code>
When using the block or the widget, don’t add the main shortcode tag or the brackets.
Example: <code>include="1,3,5" hide_empty="0" post_meta="true"</code>
With the columns attribute you can set the number of columns between 1 and 4.
The knowledge base becomes 2 columns in small screens (except when number of columns is set to 1).
You can also disable the columns. This can be handy if you only want to use your own styling.
The columns attribute will be ignored when using the block or widget. Because you can set the columns via the block or widget settings.
<h4>Post tags</h4>
Besides displaying posts by category you can also display posts by tag: <code>taxonomy="post_tag"</code>
<h4>Custom post types</h4>
It’s also possible to display categories and posts from a custom post type (such as WooCommerce product categories and products).
To display these categories and posts you should add 2 attributes: “taxonomy” and “post_type”
WooCommerce:
<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>

KB Support – Customer Support Ticket & Helpdesk Plugin, Knowledge Base Plugin

KB Support has been a real life-saver and has enabled me to get rid of the over-priced support platform that I had been using.

The plugin is well-built, is very intuitive and has worked faultlessly, providing all the features you need to provide a first-class support system and doumentation.

The extensions are very reasonably priced and with the addition of the Email Support extension I have everything I had from my previous help desk provider and more!

Thanks for the great plugin!

Amazing plugin!

We've set up a new plugin for the events sector and use KB Support for our Articles and ticket logging system.

Such an easy plugin to use.
