Yes, the plugin comes with three built-in widgets. You can easily show FAQs in the sidebar by using the widget option. We have included two new widgets to display FAQ categories and FAQ topics.
Go to Appearance >> Widgets. You will notice a widget box titled BWL Advanced Faq Manager Widget. Just drag and drop it into your right side widget container. Remember, your theme must have a widget support feature to display FAQ content in the sidebar. Moreover, you can use the available shortcodes in that widget.
You can easily create a custom single page for display single FAQ content. To do this, go to your theme folder, then create a copy of single.php file and rename it single-bwl_advanced_faq.php. Now, all single FAQ contents will display in newly created page.
By default, the FAQ title font style is bold and has a light shadow just below the text. For some themes, it seems blurry. You can easily remove that shadow and change the font style in to normal.
Go to the FAQ settings page, and bottom of the page, you will get the option to insert custom CSS code. Just add the following lines of code in there and save. Your issue will be solved.
.ac-container label{ font-weight: normal; text-shadow: none; }

To translate FAQ plugin please follow the steps described in below-
Step 01: You like to translate FAQ plugin in to German language. FAQ plugin text domain is ‘bwl-adv-faq’. So, .po file name should be bwl-adv-faq-de_DE.po. Translate plugin texts using .po editor. It will automatically generate bwl-adv-faq-de_DE.mo file.
Step 02: Now, placed that bwl-adv-faq-de_DE.po & bwl-adv-faq-de_DE.mo file in 'lang' folder or in wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder. That’s all. You can check more country and language codes from below.
We are using theme shortcode to display image inside faq post.
[lightbox full="http://lorempixel.com/g/500/300/"]http://lorempixel.com/g/125/125/[/lightbox]
If you want to display a single category FAQ items in page then you defiantly don't want to show the title of that category before the FAQ items. Because you're page already displaying that category name in title. So, it could be odd sometimes(reported by some of our customer).
To hide the title you just need to add following code and make sure 'list' value is set to 0.
[bwla_faq faq_category="introduction" sbox="0" list="0" /]
Thanks !
