Plugixa FAQ
Most FAQ plugins hand you one accordion and a stylesheet to argue with. Plugixa FAQ separates the answers from the design: questions live in the plugin’s own tables with categories, custom fields and a page of their own, and a view is a saved design that any page can point at. Ten of them ship, and they do not look remotely alike.
That distinction is the whole product. A support page wants a knowledge base: live search across the top, category filters down the side, answers in the middle. A pricing page wants three quiet questions under the table. A recipe or a policy page wants a timeline, because the questions are really steps. Same answers, different view, one shortcode attribute apart, and changing a view changes every page using it rather than sending you through forty posts.
The admin is React with a live preview beside every setting, so a colour or a column count is judged before it is published. FAQ schema is built in, so answers can appear in Google’s results without an SEO plugin. Pro adds a submission form for questions you have not thought of yet, helpful and not-helpful voting so you can see which answers work, custom fields, an AI generator that drafts from a topic or a page you already wrote, and a WooCommerce product tab.

Features
Everything you need
Ten designs, one set of answers
A view is a saved design and a shortcode points at one. A support page can be a knowledge base, a pricing page three quiet questions, and both read the same answers.
-
Ten saved designs
From a full knowledge base to a plain accordion, on a light or dark ground.
-
Four layouts
Accordion ships free. Timeline and horizontal cards, in two variants, come with Pro.
-
Live preview beside every setting
Colour, type, spacing and icon changes render as you make them, at desktop, tablet or phone width.
-
Dark mode on the view
Dark values are saved on the design itself, not filtered over a light one afterwards.
-
Change once, change everywhere
Edit a view and every page pointing at it follows, instead of a find-and-replace across forty posts.
Answers people can actually find
Live search across published answers, category filters in four styles, and a permalink page per question so a support reply can link straight to one.
-
Live search
The list narrows as a visitor types. Free, and a single shortcode attribute.
-
Category filters
Tabs, pills, a dropdown or a sidebar, with the answers grouped underneath.
-
A page per answer
Permalinks with five URL structures, so a question is something you can link to.
-
Nested questions
A question can sit under another one, reordered by drag and drop.
-
Pagination that suits the page
Numbered, load more, or infinite scroll, with the page size you choose.
Built for search engines and page builders
FAQPage JSON-LD without a second plugin, a native block, an Elementor widget, and a shortcode that works anywhere else.
-
FAQ schema, built in
Automatic FAQPage JSON-LD so answers can appear directly in Google's results.
-
Gutenberg block
A native block that renders a saved shortcode, previewed in the editor canvas.
-
Elementor widget
A real widget with its own controls, pointing at any saved design.
-
Any other builder
The shortcode works in Divi, Beaver Builder, the classic editor and widget areas.
-
Accessible by default
Keyboard navigation, ARIA state on every panel, and visible focus.
Answers you have already written
A FAQ block does not have to read the FAQ table. Point it at your posts, your pages, your media library or your products, and the content you already have becomes the answer set.
-
The plugin's own tables
The default. Real columns for question, answer, category, author and order.
-
WordPress posts
Turn an existing help category into a FAQ block, full text or excerpt.
-
WordPress pages
The same for pages, filtered to the ones you choose.
-
Media library
Attachments as answers, for a downloads or documents list.
-
WooCommerce products Pro
Products as answers, in three card styles, filtered by product category.
Extra data on every answer
Attach eight field types to a question: a source URL, a priority, a review date, a product code. Defined once, rendered on every layout, translated alongside the answer.
-
Eight field types Pro
Text, textarea, URL, number, date, select, checkbox and colour.
-
Reorder without code Pro
Drag fields into the order they should appear, and toggle each on the front end.
-
Rendered on every layout Pro
Values appear under the answer in all four layouts, with no template edit.
-
Required and optional Pro
Mark a field required and the submission form enforces it.
-
Translated per language Pro
Field values carry their own language, alongside the answer they belong to.
Draft from what you already have
Generate answers from a topic, from a page you have already written, or from a PDF or DOCX. OpenAI or Google Gemini, on your own key, and nothing is saved until you have read it.
-
From a topic Pro
Describe the subject and get up to twenty drafted questions and answers.
-
From a URL Pro
Point it at a policy or help page you have written and it extracts the questions.
-
From a document Pro
Upload a PDF, DOCX or text file and get the same, from a manual you already ship.
-
OpenAI or Gemini Pro
Choose the provider and the model, with your own API key and no middleman.
-
Reviewed before it is saved Pro
Every draft is listed for approval first, and imports as a draft you can still edit.
Find out which answers work
Visitors ask the questions you have not thought of, and tell you which answers helped. Both arrive somewhere you can act on, and neither is open to bots.
-
Frontend submission form Pro
Inline or in a modal. Questions arrive as drafts, never published unread.
-
Helpful or not helpful Pro
A vote under every answer, with an optional comment for the ones that miss.
-
A review screen for the votes Pro
Filter by verdict, read the comments, and see the totals per answer.
-
Cloudflare Turnstile Pro
Invisible bot protection that fails closed: no token, no submission.
-
Rate limited by design Pro
Repeat submissions and repeat votes from one visitor are refused.
The same answers, in every language
Polylang and WPML are detected automatically. Questions, categories and custom fields each carry a language and a translation group, so the front end shows the visitor's own.
-
Detected, not configured
Multilingual mode switches itself on when Polylang or WPML is active.
-
Translation groups
Every language version of a question is linked by one shared id.
-
Categories translate too
A French category is the French version of the English one, not a second list.
-
Language-aware front end
A French page shows French answers, with a fallback you choose.
-
Custom fields included Pro
Pro field values are translated alongside the answers they sit on.
Move answers in and out
JSON and CSV both ways, in the free build, so a spreadsheet of questions becomes a FAQ and a site move is not a retyping job. PDF export comes with Pro.
-
JSON import and export
Lossless round trip between two Plugixa FAQ installs.
-
CSV import
Bring a spreadsheet of questions and answers straight in.
-
CSV export
Take the whole set out again, for a review or a translator.
-
PDF export Pro
A styled PDF of any filtered set, for a printed handbook or an attachment.
-
Bulk actions
Publish, draft or delete across a filtered list from the admin.
Customise without forking
Action and filter hooks, a full REST API, theme template overrides, and scoped CSS variables so one shortcode can be styled without touching another.
-
Action and filter hooks
Documented hooks around create, update, render and submission.
-
REST API
Full CRUD for FAQs, categories, views and shortcodes under plugixa-faq/v1.
-
Template overrides
Copy a frontend template into your theme and the plugin uses yours.
-
Scoped CSS variables
Each placement carries its own custom properties, so styling one leaves the rest alone.
-
Registration seams
Layouts and content sources are filters, so a plugin of yours can add one.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Getting Started
[plugixa_faq] on any page, post or widget area. To choose a design, add the view slug: [plugixa_faq view="support-center-pro"]. There is also a Gutenberg block and an Elementor widget, and the visual shortcode builder writes the tag for you if you would rather pick options than remember attribute names.
