 * Does anyone know of a FAQ plugin? I would think it would retain questions in 
   a database and then display them in a page. Also it would have sidebar tags to
   list FAQ categories.

 * Why not just set up category FAQ, with subcategories then put your Q&A as posts.
   Then all you need to do is filter out the FAQ category from the rest of your 
   posts. Which can be done with a query_posts in your home/index.php

 * Thanks for the idea! I assume I could create a sidebar box with heading FAQ and
   then list the subcategory titles as items within the box.
 * I follow you until you get to the index.php. What type of modifications would
   I have to make to the index.php page? I know how to modify sidebar and the loop
   in index, but I am not sure what type of modifications would be needed. If I 
   make modifications to my main loop to facilitate my special FAQ query, what will
   happen to the display of index when displaying the other categories?
 * Also, putting answered questions as posts would mean that they would slip down
   by date, right? So would it be possible to order the posts within a subcategory
   by something other than date?

 * That’s what I like about this community. If enough people express interest in
   something, someone steps up and writes a plugin for it.

 * A little searching found this other thread — [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/43482?replies=3](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/43482?replies=3).
   I would say why not set up new Category as was suggested above. Writing a plugin
   is not always the solution. But if someone volunteers, great! And thanks.

 * It’s designed to support searching, wordpress categories, view counts, ratings,
   submitter name/email/URL/IP etc. However, that hasn’t been implemented yet. I
   may get around to it one of these days.

 * Now records the user who submitted the question’s ip address and asks for their
   name/email/website.

 * I just downloaded and activated. When I went to edit a Page, I got this error:
   
   Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/jimw3141/public_html/
   wordpress/wp-content/plugins/faq/faq.php on line 125
 * I also get this error in every post and every page.
 * I even added an faq but this didn’t help.

   now, the one jwurster has.
