Elevate your WordPress experience with the CM Answers plugin

It’s a comprehensive solution for creating a vibrant Q&A community akin to StackOverflow or Quora. This plugin not only enriches your site but also offers multilingual capabilities, user voting, moderation tools, customized alerts, access permissions, versatile shortcodes, and reCAPTCHA for secure engagements.

Installation and Usage

Setup

User Guide

  • Move the plugin folder into /wp-content/plugins/.
  • Activate the plugin through the WordPress ‘Plugins’ menu.
  • Control settings from the admin panel.

Note: Your theme should contain 'wp_head()' to ensure proper script functioning. Do not link files in your theme manually if this function is missing.

Personalization:

  • Create a “CMA” directory in your theme for customization.
  • Replicate the path 'cm-answers/views/frontend/' and place your modified files there.
  • Custom files will override the default ones when available; otherwise, defaults are used.
