Search Knowledge Base by Keyword
This KB documentation is using Advanced Search, Links Editor and Elegant Layouts add-ons.
3. Basic Settings and Frontend Editor
You can change your Knowledge Base colors, fonts, and layout without writing any code. The editor you’ll use depends on how your Knowledge Base page was created — with blocks or with a shortcode.
Not sure which one you have? Open your Knowledge Base page in the WordPress editor. If you see blocks such as KB Basic Layout or KB Search, you’re using blocks. If you see the text [epkb-knowledge-base], you’re using the shortcode.
a) If your page uses KB blocks
Edit the page in the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg):
- In WordPress, open your Knowledge Base page and click Edit.
- Click on any KB block (for example, KB Basic Layout or KB Search).
- Use the Settings sidebar on the right to change colors, spacing, layout, and more. Your changes preview instantly.
- Click Update to save.
b) If your page uses the KB shortcode
Use the visual Frontend Editor, which lets you edit the design while viewing the actual page:
- Visit your Knowledge Base page on your website (you must be logged in as an administrator).
- Click Open KB Frontend Editor in the black admin toolbar at the top of the page, or click the purple Open Frontend Editor button in the bottom-right corner.
- Adjust styles in the editor panel — every change previews live on the page.
- Click Save when you're happy with the result.
All Other Settings and Tools
Everything else lives in one place: in your WordPress admin, go to Knowledge Base → Configuration. There you'll find these tabs:
- Settings — layout, design, and typography for the Main Page, Article Page, and Category Page.
- Order Articles and Categories — drag and drop to change the order in which categories and articles appear.
- KB URLs — where your Knowledge Base is located and how its web addresses (URLs) are structured.
- Blocks / Shortcodes / Widgets — all the blocks, shortcodes, and widgets you can use to display Knowledge Base content anywhere on your site.
- Tools — export, import, article conversion, and other maintenance utilities.
