This article describes how you can switch between layouts for a KB Main Page. Available layouts:
Module Layout
The Modular Layout allows users to customize the placement of the search box, categories and articles, FAQs, as well as new and updated articles.
For example, decide whether you would like to display a list of new articles and determine where on the page the list should be shown
Â
Basic Layout
The Basic Layout displays articles and categories in rows and columns. The number of columns, listed articles, and many other features of the page can be customized.
Here are our demo's.
Note:Â In the screenshot the search box is our Pro add-on the Advanced Search.
Tabs Layout
A great layout for larger sized knowledge bases, that require tabs to separate other products.Â
We use this layout on our other documentation page to separate between our add-ons and the core free plugin. You can see the live example here of the Knowledge base.Â
