Q&A Lite allows any WordPress site to have a fully featured questions and answers section – just like StackOverflow, Yahoo Answers, Quora and more…except better :)
Question and Answer sites such as Quora, Yahoo! Questions and others are some of the most popular sites on the web.
Now, you can have your own full Q&A site up and running in no time with this plugin.
Want to see screenshots or get your own copy of the full version?
Visit the Q&A – WordPress Questions and Answers Plugin project page here.
It works great with WordPress, Multisite, and BuddyPress!
See the installation instructions to get started.
Start by reading Installing plugins section in our comprehensive WordPress and WordPress Multisite Manual if you are new to WordPress.
1. Download the plugin file
2. Unzip the file into a folder on your hard drive
3. Upload the qa folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder on your site
4. Login to your admin panel for WordPress or Multisite and activate the plugin:
1. Go to Settings -> Permalinks in the site admin dashboard to check your permalink structure. Q&A uses pretty URLs so rewrites and pretty permalinks must be enabled. Your permalinks can be anything but the default permalinks.
2. Go to Questions -> Settings in the site admin dashboard to assign capabilities to the roles of your choosing.
3. Visit http://yoursite.com/questions/ask/ to create your first question.
4. Now all you need to do is use Custom menus with your theme or add a link on your site to direct your users to http://yoursite.com/questions/ask/
Please note:
Optionally, you can further customize the appearance of the Q&A section, to better integrate it with your theme.
To do so, simply copy the php files from default-templates into your theme folder and start customizing.
If you want to disable the default plugin CSS, add the following line to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_theme_support( ‘qa_style’ );
If you also want to disable the default JavaScript (not recommended), add the following line to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_theme_support( ‘qa_script’ );
Some companies I like because they have nice products, some companies I like because you can feel the joy and involvement of the crew, WPMU DEV has both.
