Using the Plugin with your Theme

This page explains about using WP Answers plugin with your theme. It also enlists shortcodes you can use to be placed on your pages.

If you wish to use the plugin with your theme - upload only the plugin and activate it as usual and it will create a number of new pages on your site, you can edit these after they have been created. You can also create them manually and place the following short codes:

  • Questions - Main Questions Page, Shortcode: [wpanswers_home]

  • Open Questions - Any Un-Answered Questions, Shortcode: [wpanswers_open_questions]

  • Popular Questions - Listing of Questions with Most Answers, Shortcode: [wpanswers_popular_questions]

  • Submit a Question - Submit Page, Shortcode: [wpanswers_submit_question]

  • View Profile - Users profile page, Shortcode: [wpanswers_view_profile]

  • Edit Profile - Edit profile page, Shortcode: [wpanswers_edit_profile]

  • Top Users - Users with most points, Shortcode: [wpanswers_top_users]

  • Signup - Signup Page, Shortcode: [wpanswers_signup]

  • Forgotten Password Page, Shortcode: [wpanswers_forgot_password]

We have included some basic styling for things like the Answer count circles and for user avatars but the look of your site is largely down to your current theme that is being used as our plugin will pick up styles from the theme for things like input boxes and buttons. You are able to tweak the look using the stylesheet included: WP-Answers-Plugin/includes/style.css

Please note: We are able to provide support for any plugin features that dont work but not for theme customisations. We recommend using Tweaky for any customizations.
