Knowledge Base CPT

Enables a knowledge base post type and section taxonomy.

The plugin adds a Knowledge Base tab to your admin menu, which allows you to add articles just as you would regular posts. This allows you to keep your articles even if you change theme.

The Apollo Theme was built purposely to work with this plugin – Apollo Theme

Place the [knowledgebase] shortcode on any post or page to display your articles.

How do I change the permalink on articles?

In wp-admin, navigate to Settings -> Permalink Settings

Enter a value next to ‘Knowledge Base’

Press ‘Save Changes’.

Shortcode Options

The shortcode is extremely flexible. With no attributes set it will show all sections and articles:

[knowledgebase]

Adding a ‘parent’ attribute will limit the output to only sections that are within the parent you specify:

[knowledgebase parent="29"]

Another option is to set the order

[knowledgebase orderby="id"]

The full list of paramters can be found here: WP_Term_Query::__construct

What does the ‘Show only articles from current section?’ setting do?

If this option is enabled, the widget will only display articles within the same section as the current article or section being viewed.

This allows you to create a ‘Related Articles’ widget.

Leaving this option unchecked allows you to create a ‘Recent Articles’ widget.
