 * Hi. Brand new to wordpress and this plug in is exactly what we need. I am having
   some major issues getting it set up, even after (I think) I followed the instructions.
 * I’m getting a 404 error and the layout is not working at all. Idk if I need too
   much help for a free plug-in, but any assistance you can offer would be greatly
   appreciated.

    thanks
   in advance

 * You can view the link to faq on the services and pricing page – I can’t get it
   to show on a menu either.
    thanks!

 * Thank you so much for responding, I can see I wasn’t clear in my first post.
 * The first issue is how it’s displayed – I’ve seen a number of sites where it 
   is displayed in a full page format, rather than the blog style layout – I simply
   want the questions all on one page, similar to this site [http://www.glamairbrushtan.com/faq/](http://www.glamairbrushtan.com/faq/).
   The layout on mine has them all on one page (where the expand/collapse works),
   and also on separate pages as posts. I can’t change the page type that I can 
   see anywhere to achieve this. I tried going through the instructions again and
   i can’t see what I’ve done wrong. Not sure if this is a limitation of my theme?
 * the 404 error I am getting is when I use the breadcrumbs at the bottom of the
   page and click on home>FAQ, which should be the “main” FAQ page I think – I need
   to add this to my menu.
 * thanks again for looking at this for me! I’ve spent a couple of hours and can’t
   figure it out, I’m sure it’s a simple fix if I had more knowledge with wordpress.

 * by default, each FAQ is it’s own item, as that is how WordPress stores posts /
   pages (which FAQs are a type of post). Those are going to be there whether or
   not you use the shortcodes on a page.
 * If you want an FAQ page, you need to create it and add the shortcode. I may add
   an option to 301 redirect all the individual FAQs to a main ‘questions’ page,
   but that’s not there currently.
