213
-
214

174
+
175

+ = How do I make my FAQs searchable? =
192
+
193

204
+
205
+ For a category of WooCommerce products, create an FAQ category with the same name as the WooCommerce category, and then select that category for all of the FAQs you want included on your product page.
206
+
207
+ = How do I limit the number of posts generated by a shortcode =
208
+
209
+ For the [ultimate-faqs], [popular-faqs] and [recent-faqs] shortcodes, you can use the post_count attribute to limit the number of posts shown. For example:

+
211
+ `[ultimate-faqs post_count='9']
212
+ `
213
+
214
+ = How do I customize my FAQs, for example, to change the font? =
215
+
216
+ You can customize the plugin by adding code to the Custom CSS box on the FAQ settings page, go to the "Custom CSS" box. For example to change the font you might want to add something like:
217
+
218
+ .ufaq-faq-title h4, .ufaq-faq-category-title h4 {font-family:"Palatino Linotype", "Book Antiqua", Palatino, serif;}
