WPSSO FAQ Manager

The WPSSO FAQ Manager allows you to easily manage Questions / Answers from a standard WordPress editing page, and combine your Questions / Answers into FAQ groups.

You can use the standard WordPress FAQ group archive and question page templates and URLs, and/or use the [faq] and [question] shortcode(s) in your content.

The WPSSO FAQ Manager add-on uses a 'question' custom post type and 'faq_category' custom taxonomy to manage single Questions / Answers and FAQ groups. If you need to adjust the default FAQ group archive page layout, see the WordPress Theme Handbook > Custom Taxonomy section for details on creating a new FAQ group archive template based on your current theme templates.
