hello:
I am on the board of a non profit that has given me the job of building
the web site. I could hand code it but I just don't have time to do this. I
am using word press to build the site and I am stuck at the FAQ. Does
anyone know of an easy to use and accessible faq plugin that I can just
cut and paste the faq into and it will create the document for me.
They have asked me to use an accordion or a list of anchor links to the q
as it's a long long page to read. I would rather use a plugin to do this so
i don't have to code it every time they want to make changes. I would like
a simple interface that I can copy and paste from as they are giving me
everything from word. ideas please they are willing to pay a small amount
if needed to make it work lucy

Hi Lucy,
There are accessible FAQ plugins I think, but not one that meets the
specifics you've listed below (FAQ accordion or tabs). There are some
inaccessible plugins that present less accessibility issues than others, but
I don't think any of them include the accordion or tabs you're looking for.
(Note: I'm separating accordion and tabs as these are two distinct types of
component).
Is the non-profit you're working with married to either of these two, or can
they be flexible with regard to display as long as they have an easy way to
add to the FAQ?

they are not married to anything really they asked me for links to each q
at the top when I expressed the thought that the faq was too long. it's
over 17 pages in word. a lawyer wrote it and it's really hard to parse
its mee building and i want it to go fast smile so if you have something in
mind that is accessible and that wont take me forever to use let me know
thanks lucy

This FAQ plugin has some non-accordion options that will make the display a
bit shorter and a bit more configurable. Note that each question and answer
will need to be entered as a separate post under the FAQ section that will
be added to the admin menu upon plugin activation. Can use block or
shortcode for display.

Yeah the details/summary block would work too but I wasn't sure if they had
switched from classic yet.

Hi Lucy,
You don't have to set up groups, but if your FAQ becomes extensive or you
envision it becoming so, groups can be useful for filter on the front end.
Title is question and body is answer.

Hi Lucy,
Attached is a text file with the shortcodes including exact syntax and
labels for each one. The shortcodes are in brackets, and when inserting the=
m
into a post or page, you'll need to include the brackets. The easiest way t=
o
insert them is to temporarily switch your editor into text mode, copy the
shortcode you want from the file, paste it in, and then switch back to
WYSIWYG mode and publish/update. I'd do all your typing first as you may
have to rangle nasty TinyMCE or plugin-inserted markup once you switch to
text. Sorry for the delay on this. I had sent these earlier but message
apparently didn't go out the door so this is the second try. If you have an=
y
questions or are having difficulties, I'm available tomorrow afternoon to
assist.
