Shortcodes
Paste a shortcode in any page, post, widget or page builder text block.
[faqly]
Options of each shortcode are described in the Features above and in the plugin settings page.
For developers
Customize the plugin from your theme’s functions.php or a small plugin, without editing its files (your changes survive updates).
Filters
faqly_schema
add_filter( 'faqly_schema', function ( $value ) {
// Change $value here.
return $value;
}, 10, 1 );Updates
Updates are free. When a new version is out, it appears in Dashboard › Updates of your WordPress site and you can install it in one click, or turn on automatic updates in Plugins. This works for the zip downloaded from your Woo-Plugins account; older copies can be replaced by downloading the latest version from My plugins. See the changelog.
Frequently asked questions
Will my FAQ appear as rich results in Google?
Faqly adds valid FAQPage structured data. Search engines decide when to display rich results; Google currently shows FAQ rich results mainly for well-known government and health websites. The structured data still describes your content clearly to search engines.
I already use an SEO plugin that adds FAQ schema.
Turn off structured data in FAQs › Settings to avoid duplicates.
Shortcode options
`[faqly id="12" style="cards|minimal|bordered" search="1" open="first|none|all" single="0" schema="0" title="Frequently asked questions"]`
Can developers change the structured data?
Yes, with the `faqly_schema` filter.
