About FAQ Accordion for WordPress with FAQ Sc…

From the official readme · v2.1.0

Description

WPFAQBlock is a WordPress FAQ builder and accordion plugin for creating, managing, and displaying professional FAQ sections across your website.

Use WPFAQBlock to build support FAQs, product FAQs, service FAQs, help center questions, documentation FAQs, and clear question-and-answer content for posts, pages, widgets, and custom post types. The plugin includes a visual FAQ builder, Gutenberg block support, shortcode output, FAQ category filtering, optional FAQPage JSON-LD schema, custom accordion icons, import/export tools, and AI-assisted FAQ generation with OpenAI or Google Gemini.

Frontend FAQ content is rendered as HTML, and optional FAQPage JSON-LD structured data can be enabled for eligible FAQ pages. This helps search engines understand your FAQ content without forcing schema output on every site.

WPFAQBlock is designed for site owners, agencies, ecommerce stores, service businesses, content teams, and developers who need a flexible FAQ plugin that stays lightweight, accessible, and easy to manage.

Frequently asked questions

How do I display FAQs on a page?

Use the WPFAQBlock Gutenberg block or add the [wpfaqblock] shortcode to any post, page, widget area, or supported template area.

Can I choose exactly which FAQs appear on a page?

Yes. Each FAQ display can show all FAQs, selected FAQs, or FAQs from selected categories. This lets you reuse one FAQ library across many pages while showing only the most relevant questions.

Can I show FAQs from multiple categories?

Yes. The plugin supports category-based FAQ selection, including multiple category selection in supported display and export workflows.

Can I hide the FAQ category title?

Yes. Use the category title setting in the block or builder controls, or set category_title="0" in the shortcode.

Can I open the first accordion item by default?

Yes. Enable the open-first option in the display settings or use open_first="1" in the shortcode.

Can I upload custom accordion icons?

Yes. WPFAQBlock lets you choose custom images for the open and closed accordion states using the WordPress Media Library. If no custom icons are selected, the plugin uses the default icons.

Does WPFAQBlock output FAQ Schema?

FAQ Schema is disabled by default. You can enable it from WPFAQBlock > Settings. When enabled, WPFAQBlock outputs FAQPage JSON-LD only for FAQs actually displayed on the current page.

What happens if multiple FAQ sections are on the same page?

WPFAQBlock collects the rendered FAQs and de-duplicates schema output so repeated FAQs are not unnecessarily duplicated in the JSON-LD.

Can I import or export FAQs?

Yes. You can export all FAQs, selected FAQs, FAQs from one category, or FAQs from multiple categories. Imported FAQs can preserve their categories or be assigned to a selected category.

How does the AI FAQ Generator work?

WPFAQBlock can generate FAQ suggestions with OpenAI or Google Gemini. You can generate FAQs from a prompt in the FAQ Builder or from the current editor content while editing a post, page, product, or supported custom post type.

Does AI generation require an API key?

Yes. Add an OpenAI API key or Google Gemini API key in WPFAQBlock > Settings. If both keys are available, the plugin can fall back to the other provider when one provider is temporarily unavailable.

Does this plugin require jQuery?

No. WPFAQBlock uses vanilla JavaScript for frontend accordion behavior and admin interactions.

Where are FAQs stored?

FAQs are stored as a WordPress Custom Post Type (wpfaqblock) and organized with the faq_group taxonomy. This keeps FAQ content compatible with normal WordPress backups, exports, and migrations.
