You also do not have to use the [qafp] shorcode on the FAQ page. You can use several [qafp cat=] codes on the FAQ page …

To my understanding this is true for custom FAQ pages that I may create, but not for the page that I specify as the FAQ homepage in the plugin settings, unless I don’t plan to use the auto-generated category pages (because as my tests showed, when using [qafp cat="] in the FAQ homepage the category pages contain all the FAQs).
I will definitely try the custom pages solution.

Would you ever consider modifying the plugin to support the creation of multiple FAQ groups (with different settings) — allowing, e.g., for the individual FAQ pages to be created in different locations in the site tree?

Thanks again for all your help,
Sharon

If I can’t expedite the WP version upgrade in our company, maybe I’ll try the old plugin version. Alternatively, seeing as the main issue for me is currently the incorrect category pages being visible to all users, perhaps I’ll just redirect these pages to my own custom pages.

I’ll update you if and when we upgrade the WP version; thanks again for your prompt responses.

Thank you for the prompt reply; I’m looking forward to checking out the new version.

1. Adding .qafp-faq-meta{display:none;} in the css/q-a-foucs-plus.min.css file, as you suggested indeed removed the category links from the FAQ pages; thanks.

2. My category pages still display all FAQs, by category, and the page title is also the same as that of the FAQs homepage.
Could this be related to the fact that I’m using a custom FAQs page (which I defined as the “FAQ homepage” in the plugin settings)? I didn’t test using the default FAQs homepage. Also, my custom homepage is not directly under the root site directory (if this matters?).
Or could it be related to the WP version that I’m currently using — which is v3.3.2?
(Note: The categories division itself, using the qaftp shortcode with the $cat attribute, works well; the problem is that the specific category pages are identical to the FAQs homepage and display all categories.)

3. If I can’t edit the auto-generated category pages, can I limit the access permissions to these pages?

4. I found that the 404 error for non-admin users was the result of the FAQs homepage being defined as a draft page; when I publish this page publicly the related category pages are indeed visible to all site visitors. However, I would actually like to limit access to these pages (see Q.3), especially seeing as currently these pages in my site contain all the FAQ categories (see Q.2; I verified that this is also true when the FAQs homepage is published and not saved as a draft).

5. As you are about to release a new version, please note that the following plugin Settings options seemed to have no effect in my tests: “Show category links”, “Show number of entries”, “Search box position”, “Horizontal rule below answers”.
Regarding the search box, when I first defined the FAQs page I did see the search box, but now it doesn’t appear regardless of the value I select for the related settings option; I think perhaps when I saw it I wasn’t using a custom FAQs homepage yet.

Thanks again,
Sharon
