    As Advertised
    Plugin has everything you could imagine for a FAQ plugin and more. Support was quick and fast when I had a question too.

    Great for my small knowledge base
    It works very well for a newly released plugin. Documentation is good and the free version makes a good basic KB. I may buy the Pro version if I need a more sophisticated KB.
