Plugin Description

Knowledge Base plugin for WordPress with built-in Analytics

!!! Please, read this before purchasing. Guys, thank you for choosing this product for all these years. Due to ongoing war in my country I decided to join the Army, which means I will not be providing any support in the near future. The plugin was tested with recent version of WordPress and should work without issues hopefully. If not, you can always request a refund. In any case, I will use money from sales to support my unit, so you can consider it a donation :) Stay safe

Version 1.4.4 is out – now with WPBakery Page Builder elements!

Great news! New major update added in version 1.4.2: MinervaKB now has a powerful WordPress FAQ module, with instant filter and categories. Plus a ton of flexible style options for it! As a bonus, you can save up to $20 not buying a separate FAQ plugin. This time we decided to go against the grain a bit. Instead of adding every feature available in WordPress FAQ plugin today we spent a great deal of time to investigate how FAQ module is used by largest companies and businesses, collected the key features and dropped the rest, so it has only the important stuff. Let us know what your think!
