<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>

<p>Create an attractive and professional knowledge base or documentation. WP Knowledgebase is easy to use, easy to customize, and works with any theme.</p>
<h4>Why is a knowledge base important?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Often, people prefer self-service</strong> – People often try to find answers on their own before contacting for help. A knowledgebase is where they look first.</li>
<li><strong>A knowledge base operates 24/7</strong> – Even if you have a distributed team, a knowledgebase will always be there for your users.</li>
<li><strong>A knowledge base acts like a brain for your support team</strong> – Your team members won’t know everything other team members know. A knowledgebase can bridge that gap and offer your team.</li>
<li><strong>It can lower costs</strong> – With standardized answers and all the information in one place, a knowledgebase can ensure new hires are trained quicker and better.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>

<h4>Important</h4>
<p>On activation, the plugin will create a page called “Knowledgebase” and on that page there will be the shortcode <code>[kbe_knowledgebase]</code>. If you want to change the slug of that page do so via the WP Knowledgebase settings.</p>
<h4>Advanced Customisation</h4>
<p>Developers, you can completely customise the way the WP Knowledgebase displays by copying the plugin templates to your theme and customising them there. You may be familiar with this method of templating as used by WooCommerce.</p>
<p>In the plugin’s root directory you will find a folder called <code>template</code>. You can override that folder and any of the files within, by copying them into your active theme and renaming the folder to <code>/yourtheme/wp_knowledgebase</code>. WP Knowledgebase plugin will automatically load any template files you have in that folder in your theme, and use them instead of its default template files. If no such folder or files exist in your theme, it will use the ones from the plugin.</p>
<p>This is the safest way to customise the WP Knowledebase templates, as it means that your changes will not be overwritten when the plugin updates.</p>
