That’s it. ## FAQ ### What does this do? It uses the custom post type feature to create a dedicated FAQ section in your WordPress site, including categories and tags exclusive to them. ### How Do I Use It? Each FAQ acts like a «post». You can assign your own categories (called topics) or tags and organize as you see fit. You can also use shortcodes to place them on any page as follows: * For the complete list: place `[faq]` on a post / page * For a single FAQ: place `[faq faq_id="ID"]` on a post / page * List all from a single FAQ topic category: place `[faq faq_topic="topic-slug"]` on a post / page * List all from a single FAQ tag: place `[faq faq_tag="tag-slug"]` on a post / page * List all from multiple FAQ tags: place [faq faq_tag=»tag-slug-1, tag-slug-2″] on a post / page * List all from both FAQ topics and FAQ tags: place [faq faq_topic=»topic-slug- 1″ faq_tag=»tag-slug-2″] on a post / page The list will show 10 FAQs based on your sorting (if none has been done, it will be in date order). * To display only 5: place `[faq limit="5"]` on a post / page * To display ALL: place `[faq limit="-1"]` on a post / page * For a list with a title and link to full FAQ: place `[faqlist]` on a post / page * For a list with a group of titles that link to complete content later in page: place `[faqcombo]` on a post / page * For a list of taxonomies (topics or tags) with a link to their respective archive page: place `[faqtaxlist type="topics"]` or `[faqtaxlist type="tags"]` on a post / page * For a list of taxonomies (topics or tags) with their description: place `[faqtaxlist type="topics (or tags)" desc="true"]` on a post / page ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b32128cbbddd395a0e55041cbca50ebeee7924639bc9c76651d98bff47634e58? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[works great](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-great-2745/)󠁿 [ellice909](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ellice909/) 3 de septiembre, 2016 pretty useful on most websites i design. easy to use. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/389e1a46cb862edd2ce6cc820fcf7350fa1a99d0f1cca984d403b425080e844d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[There no option to add Thumbnail to FAQ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/there-no-option-to-add-thumbnail-to-faq/)󠁿 [Adam Pery](https://profiles.wordpress.org/adam1920/) 7 de febrero, 2017 [ Read all 12 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordpress-faq-manager/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “SFN Easy FAQ Manager” is open source software.
