The CPT slug “question” is bad coding style.
by Vladimir Bender·10 months ago
The CPT slug “question” is bad coding style.
A unique name had to be created.
Lost my patience with this plugin
by sorenjensen·1 year ago
This plugin is dead in the water I recommend find another solution before wasting your time and money trying to make it in to a useful feature for your website.
The look out of the box is as presentable as a forum from 1998. There are no way to make it look good and useful unless you spend a fair amount of development.
No improvements has been made for years. Still not a single Gutenberg widget exist, the few short codes existing are not useful in any way. The forum has plenty of promises for features that has never been made.
This plugin seems to be made and provided for free so that the developer can earn money on developing all the missing features that people need to make a useful Q&A for a site in 2024, “developer friendly” = for the developer who made the plugin .
I would prefer a premium plugin that is useful than a free plugin that is missing simple and vital functionality to implement and design it for your needs.
Easy to use and customize
by davidjosue11·2 years ago
This Q&A plugin is very easy to setup and start using quickly. I like that it has a simple design that’s fast and optimized. The developer tools make it really easy to customize the look and feel to match my site. Overall a great plugin!
Schema.org Markup advertised by the plugin does not exist
by zdmdesigns·2 years ago
I would like to make clear that this is a review, not a support request. The below reason is why I am rating this plugin with 1-star. If something is advertised in a plugin, it needs to actually exist.
Installed this plugin ONLY because it claims “SEO Friendly Questions and answers are search engine optimized, with schema.org markup.”
However, it does not. The schema markup does not exist. I tried validating the QA Pages through Schema.org and nothing appears. Same result in Google Rich Results Test.
Great questions answers plugin

Great plugin. No bloated extras and works seamlessly with Buddypress and activity stream. Integrates into existing theme. Perfect!
