<p>The main purpose of this plugin is to provide a page to display documentation. Not a Wiki <em>per se</em>, as it’s not intented to be collaborative (although it can be), rather, it just uses Custom Post Types to separate documentation articles from the rest of your content. This plugin came as a result of my undying hatred of MediaWiki.  I know BBCode and HTML and PHP and CSS and still the wiki markup just baffles me.  I can never remember how to do the <em>simplest</em> things, like create a freaking link.  Really?  All I want to do is throw a <code><a href="..."></code> in there.  If you’re looking at this plugin, you know what I’m talking about.  When this plugin was written the WordPress plugins available for what I want to do either <em>aren’t</em> what I want to do, or don’t work with the latest version of WordPress.  Hence this plugin.</p>
<p><em>WordPress Wiki That Doesn’t Suck</em> uses custom post types.  And that’s pretty much it.  It creates a new custom post type (<code>wpwtds_article</code>) that can be accessed from the <em>Wiki != suck</em> menu it adds to your sidebar (!= is “not equal to” in coder jargon).  Wiki articles are posted with the <code>wiki</code> slug, so your URLs will look like <code>http://mydomain.com/wiki/my-cool-article</code>.</p>
<p>To display your wiki articles on a page, you can either use the included template files (in the <code>/templates</code> directory), or you can use the <code>[wpwtds]</code> shortcode that’s been added in 0.9.</p>

<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>

<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>
