## Description

This plugin is designed to be a simple solid base for managing an FAQ section on
your web site.

It consists of:

 * A simple ‘faq’ post type
 * [faqs /] shortcode
 * FAQ search widget
 * FAQ search form template tag

## Screenshots

 * FAQz custom post type

 * FAQ search widget

## Installation

 1. Upload the `faqz` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

### Why aren’t there may options and features?

This is just a first release. More to come…

### Why so many breaking changes in version 2.0?

The main post type was changed to `faq` so the plugin is easier to migrate to/from
other FAQ plugins. Front end CSS classes were changed to reflect this and follow
a more predictable BEM format. Code and plugin hooks retained their `faqz` namespace.
It is possible to reinstate some backward compatibility using the filters mentioned
in the changelog and updating your template names and CSS files.
