However, even after reading the documentation, users may not be comfortable in solving the issue, and it would be better if they were able to message the site owner.

That’s why we created the Help Links feature. Using the Help Link you can redirect your users to a contact form (using Contact Form 7), enabling them to message you in order to get help.

What you need

For a simple link on the footer, you need to create:

• A post
• A contact form using Contact Form 7

Implementing a Help Link

As you may now, the default WordPress posts are used as the main documents for your knowledge base. SO, navigate to Posts > Add New and fill the post with all the information you want to have for that specific document. Do not forget to categorize it.

Then, scroll down the page and you’ll see a section called Help Link, that’s where you can add the Help Link to your document. The default option is NO.

When you select YES, new fields will show up. The first option is called Help Link Contact Page, which is the page with the contact form you created on it.

Now, you need to indicate the contact page that can have a form or a telephone number that allows your users to call you, for example.

There is also a possibility to choose which text you want to use on your help link text. By default, it is “Still in doubts? Send us a message!”.

And that’s it! If you want to go further and add a dynamic field for the subject line in your form, so when the user clicks on the help link, the donation form is pre-filled with the correct subject, you can see how to do it here.

• A contact form using Contact Form 7
• A plugin called Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension
• Help Links enabled for your posts

Bear in mind that the Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension already comes bundled within LearnMore Pro.

To use the dynamic subject for Contact Form 7, you’ll need to create a field called dynamic text on your contact form, like the following:

You’ll need to have the Subject field as a dynamictext field and then add the URL parameter that you’ll use, in this case it’s subject. It should look like this: “CF7_GET key=’subject'”.

From now on, when a reader has doubts and clicks on the Help Links, the contact form will pre-fill the subject line automatically, so your users do not need to worry about that.

Private Categories

A knowledge base is an essential tool for the general public and also for your users. It means that sometimes you need to have private categories that are allowed only for registered users.

In case you need to create a private category for your posts, navigate to Posts > Categories, and there will be a field asking you if the category you are creating is public or not.

By default, all the categories are public (default to Yes).

When a category is private, its archive page, that contains all the posts for that category, and the single post page will be hidden from logged out users, even if the single posts are categorized in other categories.

Categories’ Icons

If you want to further customize your categories, you can add icons to them. It will allow you to have different icons that will differentiate your categories.

It will be useful when you select a different layout for your home page, for example, because when you have a category icon, it will be displayed for your users.

You also have the ability to select a bundled icon or an image to be the icon for that category.

We are always open to suggestions of improvements we can make on our tools, so feel free to suggest new features here!
