Introduction

Creating a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section on your WordPress site can significantly improve user experience by providing immediate answers to common questions. This guide will cover the steps to create a WordPress FAQ plugin, including using existing plugins for added functionality.

Using Existing Plugins

Before diving into creating your own plugin, consider using an existing plugin to save time and effort. Accordion FAQ and Quick and Easy FAQs are two popular plugins that can be easily integrated and customized.

Find more about these plugins on the WordPress Plugin Repository.

Creating Your Own FAQ Plugin

To create a custom FAQ plugin, start by setting up a new plugin directory in your WordPress’ plugins folder. Name it something relevant like my-custom-faq.

Inside your new directory, create a file named my-custom-faq.php. Begin the file with the required header information:

 /*
 Plugin Name: My Custom FAQ
 Description: A simple FAQ plugin.
 Version: 1.0
 Author: Your Name
 */

Next, define functions to load CSS and JavaScript, manage admin menus, and handle data storage.
