Why aren’t images in the sections clickable to show up larger aka in lightbox or a new tab if you don’t want to code in lightbox. Secondly, why not a complete dark theme since you went half way with dark boxed lol

could this be bundled with MinervaKB and allow for any security updates – its actually a cool looking plugin?

Hi, sorry to everyone for not responding. Due to ongoing war in my country I decided to join the Army, which means I will not be providing any support in the near future. The plugin was tested with recent version of WordPress and should work without issues hopefully. If not, you can always request a refund. In any case, I will use money from sales to support my unit, so you can consider it a donation :) Stay safe

Hello,

0 update for over 3 years!! what’s going on? you promised us updates and give nothing!

Is this abandoned plugin?

But I paid for this s* and at least one update on the house should be given, now you are just a thief and a liar. what are we to do with this plugin? we paid for…

Hello, this item is not supported and I’ve turned the support off long time ago, so when someone buys this he sees that this is not a supported item – I don’t see how that makes me a liar. At least that’s what I expected, when I removed support. To me it’s fair – product is sold as is, if you like it – use it, if you don’t – don’t buy it. If you bought it by mistake – just request a refund, I always return money, no questions asked. The reason why this is sold is that it still works – at least our demo examples work without issues. It’s a simple accordion shortcode with some design presets – I don’t think it requires reqular updates of any sort.

In any case, I don’t charge for support of this product. If this is confusing or frustrating for the buyers – it’s easier for me to remove this product. I’m sorry, but the sales are 0-1 per month, which after the Envato fees and taxes amounts to around $10 per month, I believe. I seriously doubt this product even repaid the hours I’ve put in developing it initially and hosting space it uses – and it’s been more than 3 years. I understand your frustration, but this is how things are, unfortunately. If you think I’ve “stolen” your money by selling this tiny WordPress plugin – feel free to submit a refund request and you’ll get all your money back.

Understandably & unfortunately.

Moment of silence for dead plugin, that had potential for € & use. From own fault & lost of creativity. *(no marketing no updates no new functions etc…)

Hello there,

1. is the article still being updated and is it up to date? Does it work with the latest Wordpress version?

2. Is there a spam protection for the feedback form?

3. Is it possible to set links e.g. in pages texts to each Faq section?

Thank you very much and best regards Neo

Hello, currently we’re not updating this plugin, we have a base version of FAQ in our knowledge base plugin and plan to add more features there.

Is it possible to have custom order for categories. Because I can see only for questions. I want to reorder how FAQ categories are on my page

Hello, you can reorder categories when you select them in shortcode: https://prnt.sc/s51ck6

Can I switch to a separate page instead of a drop-down list? It’s interesting to do this, click on the title.

Hello, can you please explain in more details, do you want to remove accordion and display only links to separate pages with answers?

Yes, that would be interesting. Because there is already a separate page for each entry.

I’ll add this as feature request, but not sure when we can develop this, we’re currently very busy with ticketing system for MinervaKB and will be working on it for a couple more months, then we’ll see.

Hi thanks for the answers above… since 4 March 18 there’s no updates for this plugin and also no new features ! This plugin will not receive more new features / updates?

I mean, there’s a lot of suggestions possible to make this plugin the best accordion of the market like:

1 – Let us choose which question to show up in accordion when select plugin shorcode, not just the categories…

2 – Randomize questions…

3 – Create slug for each question to let us share the link of the question like: https://www.site.com/faq/#question-number-15 this link will open the faq page with focus in this question (also with this question opened)...

4 – Support for edit questions in WPBakery Page Builder (its different from Visual Composer) I tested and its possible only with visual composer, but wp bakery page builder is much more complete and not work with candy faq!

And maybe much more that can be add… but looks like that you have no plan to keep updating this plugin with new features! Sad…

Hello!

Indeed, it’s true that we do not add features to this plugin. The reason for this is simple – it has very low sales.

Initially it was an experiment – we had a FAQ module in KB plugin and people liked it, some customers asked if they could buy FAQ only. So I’ve made an extended version of that FAQ module and released it as Candy FAQ.

Currently it’s been on sale for 1 year and a half and the average monthly income I get from it is around $20 per month, which is less than my hourly rate. And I had to provide support until I turned support off for this item, which also takes time. This simply makes it impossible to continue development of this product, there’s not much I can do in half an hour per month of development time.

Also, there’s no indication of interest in this plugin, like questions, increase in page views, etc. I think that people mostly use page builders and accordions to build simple FAQ pages and use KB for more complex cases, that’s the best explanation I have. I’ve monitored other FAQ plugins on the market for some time and they didn’t not look promising in terms of sales as well, especially now with Envato sales decreasing for many authors.

So, to summarize, it’s indeed sad that I cannot afford to develop this product right now, it’s a nice FAQ module, so I’ll just keep it on sale as is, maybe some people will find it helpful. Sorry for any inconvenience.

There’s no way to let us choose the questions to show in the shortcode accordion? You let us select the category to show the questions, would be awesome to let us choose which questions to show in accordion!

Hello, currently there’s no such option, but you can probably create more custom categories to use on specific pages. Also, please note that this plugin is provided without customer support currently.

Another question, its possible use visual composer to edit questions?

Hello, probably yes, but we never tried it.

Hi, its not possible use shortcodes inside the accordions? Example: an embed video? I’m trying to add shortcode but in front end the video is not showing up…

Hello, you should be able to use shortcodes inside faq questions. Do you use standard YouTube embed?

Hi,

How can I create question links? Example: sent to my customer a link of my site that go direct to the page with all my faq questions but with an specific question already opened, like an achor understand? Example:

My FAQ page is: https://www.mydomain.com/faq/

There’s one question named: “This is an question example”

If I sent a link like:

https://www.mydomain.com/faq/this-is-an-question-example

It opens the faq with this question already expanded…

Thank you!

Hello, currently there’s no such feature, but we can add this as feature request.

Please, this would be awesome! thank you

Hi, I bought the plugin and it is great! I just don’t understand why there’s a lot of options to customize the color but I found no options to customize the font color of questions when mouse hover! You let us choose the background color on mouse hover but if we have a dark text in default and choose a dark background to hover status when the mouse is hover the question we can’t read the content! Look: https://i.imgur.com/ddgXZrN.png

Hello, if you can, please provide me with a link to your site with faq and I will send you the css needed to adjust this.

Hi, there’s any new version comming ? I saw that latest update of this pliugin was more than 1 year ago!

Hello, currently no features are planned, but we’ll fix bugs if there are any.

Hi, I am using Themeco PRO’s theme which has its own user interface to design pages. Unfortunately, this means that I can’t use your system to insert shortcode. On your website the shortcode is an image. Can you please email the standard shortcode in text and I can edit later on my own? Do you have another solution?

Hello, the shortcode parameters are described here: https://support.minerva-kb.com/kbtopic/shortcodes/ However I think the simplest way is to use our shortcode builder in post editor or article editor and then copy/paste it to your page builder.

Hi,

I can’t find any information whether it’s possible to create two separate FAQs with this plugin?

Hello, this plugin creates only one FAQ post type, but you can create two top-level categories and show different categories at different places.

Can you please point me this setting on documentation?

I don’t think this has dedicated section in the docs, but basically when you add a FAQ question you can select a category for it. Categories are hierarchical, which means you should be able to create category First FAQ and category Second FAQ. Then you can create sub-categories if you need to and set either of these two as parent category. Then, when displaying FAQ on a page you can select categories to display – that’s where you can choose either First or Second category.

Please note, I’ll be on vacation for 3 days until Feb 10th with limited access to internet so I will not be able to resolve technical questions and respond quickly.

Hello, when I edit a normal page, I have the opportunity to choose the image to record. This allows you to beautifully display the block at the bottom of the page with the latest entries.

When I edit the answer to a question, it looks the same as when I edit a normal page. The only difference is that there is no way to bind the image to the recording.

I hope you agree that it would be great to implement the ability to bind a separate image to each record.

As part of this question, I can add one more point. I have the ability to hide this image on the recording page,but save it in the preview. When editing a response, this condition is not feasible. The picture is displayed in the preview and on the page.

Hello, I’m not sure about these settings, this is either from theme or from some other plugin, because it’s not default WordPress metabox, as far as I can tell. If this plugin/theme supports adding these settings for custom post types, you should add them for faq post type. Or, perhaps they are hidden in Screen Options, at the top of the page.

Answered to previous comment.

It seems that your website (konstruktstudio.com) is not working. Your demo images are stored there. I hope the project will not be abandoned. All the blessings.

Hello, I forgot to pay for the hosting somehow. It works now, thanks.

How can we make each Group collapsible and expandable? Can you help me customize it?

Thanks

Hello, there is no such feature at the moment. I think this can be done with custom JavaScript, but we don’t do customizations, unfortunately. You probably need to find some freelancer.
