Categories and Articles
Overview
Here’s the breakdown of your website’s Knowledge Base (KB) structure:
- KB Main Page: The landing page for the KB. Users can browse articles by category.
- KB Article Pages: Individual articles, each with a title, navigation sidebar, table of contents, and other relevant information.
- KB Category Archive Pages: Displays content from a specific category (and optionally subcategories) for easy browsing.
Note: To display your Knowledge Base on your web page, make sure the page includes the KB shortcode as explained in this article.
To view articles and categories on the KB Main Page, you have two options:
a) Categories & Articles module: Part of the KB shortcode (details below).
b) KB Categories & Articles block: (Coming soon).
- Basic
- Tabs
- Categories Focused
- Classic
- Drill Down
Additional layouts are available in the Elegant Layouts add-on.
You can extensively customize the Categories & Articles module/block, including its colors, features, and labels. See details below.
Examples and Demos
The KB Plugin has a Setup Wizard that previews various designs for each layout. You can also try demos of each layout here.
