About
With this lightweight plugin you can create a knowledge base.
Add shortcode [knowledgebase] to a page or use the widget to display your categories and posts.
You can customize your knowledge base by adding attributes to the shortcode or the widget.
This plugin can also be used to create a FAQ or wiki.
You can also display categories and posts from a custom post type (such as WooCommerce product categories and products).
How to use
After installation add shortcode [knowledgebase] to a page or use the widget to display your categories and posts.
Or go to Appearance > Widgets and use the widget to display your categories and posts.
Default settings categories:
- 4 columns when using shortode
- 1 column when using widget
- Order by name
- Ascending order (A-Z)
- Empty categories are hidden
- Parent and subcategories are displayed separately
Default settings posts:
- Order by date
- Descending order (new to old)
- All posts are displayed
Attributes
You can customize your knowledge base by adding attributes to the shortcode or the widget.
- Add custom CSS class to knowledge base:
class="your-class-here" - Change the number of columns:
columns="3" - Include certain categories:
include="1,3,5" - Exclude certain categories:
exclude="8,10,12" - Display empty categories too:
hide_empty="0" - Display category description:
description="true" - Change the number of posts per category:
posts_per_page="5" - Reverse the order of posts:
order="ASC" - Display posts by title:
orderby="title" - Display posts in random order:
orderby="rand" - Display post counter: count=”true”
- Display post meta (date and author):
meta="true" - Display View All link:
all_link="true" - Change label of View All link:
all_link_label="your label here" - Change label of post without title:
no_title_label="your label here" - Change the “no categories are found” text:
no_categories_text="your text here"
Example: [knowledgebase include="1,3,5" hide_empty="0" meta="true"]
When using the widget, don’t add the main shortcode tag or the brackets.
Example: include="1,3,5" hide_empty="0" meta="true"
With the columns attribute you can set the number of columns between 1 and 4. In mobile screens 2 columns (except the 1 column knowledge base).
You can disable the columns with columns="0". This can be handy if you only want to use your own styling.
Post tags
Besides displaying posts by category you can also display posts by tag: taxonomy="post_tag"
Custom post types
You can also 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:
- Product categories and products:
taxonomy="product_cat" post_type="product" - Include product category image:
taxonomy="product_cat" post_type="product" woo_image="true" - Display by tag instead of category:
taxonomy="product_tag" post_type="product"

FAQ
-
Where is the settings page?
-
Plugin has no settings page, use the shortcode with attributes or the widget with attributes to make it work.
-
Does this plugin have its own knowledge base post type?
-
No, it’s build to create a knowledge base by using the default categories and posts.
You can also display categories and posts from a custom post type (such as WooCommerce product categories and products).
-
How can I change the layout or colors?
-
You can use an attribute to set the number of columns between 1 and 4 or to disable the columns. But you should use custom CSS for making other changes.
If you disable the columns CSS class “vskb-custom” is added to the knowledge base. This can be handy if you only want to use your own styling.

Where to find the category ID?

Every category URL contains an unique ID. You will find this ID when hovering the category title in your dashboard or when editing the category.
