Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Yada Wiki

When viewing wiki pages, if the wiki page exists it shows as a link. If it does not exist, and the user has permissions to edit posts, then the link shows up in red to indicate that the page needs to be created. You can click on the link to go to the page editor to create the new page. If the user does not have permissions, then they see the title in red, but no link is available.

Yes, but the wiki shortcode is only for linking to wiki pages. If you want to link to external sites or regular posts or pages, then use the usual methods in the post editor to do so, but not the Yada Wiki shortcode.

Yes, there is a Yada Wiki sub-menu under the main settings menu where you can enable showing the Yada Wiki shortcode buttons when editing posts and pages. Remember, the wiki shortcode is only for linking to wiki pages.

There is a sidebar widget so that you can include the TOC or a category list of wiki articles. It is a multi-instance widget so you can have more than one version of the widget active at a time.

There is now a recent activity widget so that you can include a list of the most recent wiki articles. You may optionally show the how long ago it was modified.

Most page builders allow you to enter shortcodes and the Yada Wiki shortcodes should work. If the shortcodes do not work then let me know and I'll take a look. The sidebar widget works well in regular widget areas, but may not work when embedded using page builders (except for Beaver Builder - see below). The plugin has been tested and updated to work with Beaver Builder. By default Beaver Builder does not show 3rd party buttons in the Text Editor module, but you can enter the shortcodes manually. The sidebar widget works with the Beaver Builder widget module.

You can include regular wiki link shortcodes in your TOC. You can also add multiple TOC Category shortcodes to a regular wiki page. Adding TOC shortcodes to the TOC page, or adding TOC Category shortcodes to the TOC page does not work.

Empty categories, with no wiki pages or child categories assigned, are excluded. Also, the index of a category or all categories only goes down to one level of child categories.

Some people may have categories that are people's names, such as book authors. The alternate ability to sort by slug gives some flexibility for custom sorting if, for example, you use the author's last name for the slug.

You can use the tag cloud widget to display the wiki custom tags. There are also plugins in the WordPress repository that will allow you to display custom categories (or taxonomies).
