WooCommerce Product FAQs

विवरण

UPDATE As of 3.0.0, this plugin has the following requirements:

  • PHP 5.3+
  • WooCommerce 2.0.0+

If you have ever used eBay’s ‘Ask Buyer’ system before, you will know how this plugin behaves.
WooCommerce Product FAQs allows visitors to ask questions about specific products, get answers, and view other threads.
It also allows you, the store owner, to manually add questions to specific products.

Click here for a sample WooCommerce product page with some FAQs.

FAQ Notifications

Notifications are in place that will notify the admin of new questions, with links to administer each question.

Notifications are in place that will notify the asker when their question has been answered, with links to view the product.

Each notification email has a system to highlight the question specified in the email,
so in the case of numerous questions, the user does not have to hunt for his question.

To Do:

  • Add ajax loaders where ajax is used so the user knows that their request is being processed DONE

  • Consider adding inline registration option to FAQ form

Incompatibilities

  • Disqus – interferes with the comment_form function. Will hopefully rectify this soon.

  • 404 Redirected – strips $_GET parameters from URL, removing ‘View’ and ‘Preview’ functionality

प्रश्नोत्तर

The answer/reply form never shows up for me!

This plugin is currently incompatible with Disqus. For now, you will have to pick between these two plugins.

When I click “View” or “Preview”, the FAQ never shows up/is highlighted!

This plugin is currently incompatible with the 404 Redirected plugin. This plugin causes $_GET parameters to be stripped from the url.

A complete mess.. – It’s extremely buggy and slows down site. – When adding a question manually, the selection of products seems to list all products (looking at the long list) but only the simple products show up with their title to select and apparently work – But even then, it’s broken. I can’t ever edit or answer the questions (when I click on it, I get a complete blank page, without even the WP admin visible anymore). Shame. Looked nice and simple.

This plugins adds a FAQ to you menu, but it break it completely, it doesn’t allow you to do ANYTHING. I was looking at the problem, deactivating many plugins that I did the same day and nothing. When I saw the FAQ link on the menu, and deactivate THIS plugin, it worked fine.
