    Good day.

    I want to use the basic to create a toggle menu.

    Title
    -link
    -link
    -link

    Title
    -link
    -link

    It seems to work fine when I use the [ultimate-faq] shortcode. However, when I use individual shortcodes, they do not work. I’m doing something wrong. Please help.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Dawn,

    I’m not quite sure what it is you’re trying to accomplish. Everything looks fine at the link you provided. What do you mean by individual shortcodes? And what isn’t working?

    Good day.
    Thank you for your response.

    I have a menu with 5 categories. I would like to post each category as a FAQ. Instead of using [ultimate-faqs} shortcode, I would have a shortcode for each category.

    When I created the category Education, this is at the top of the FAQ:

    Permalink: http://www.family-service.org/family-service/ufaqs/education/ ‎
    Use the following shortcode to add this FAQ to a page:
    [select-faq faq_id=’8873′]

    I tried to use [select-faq faq_id=’8873′], but it does not work. I’m missing something.

    I need to clarify. I created 5 titles, not categories. Each title does have a category. I want each title to have it’s own short-code.
    Thanks.

    I think I got it reading the faq soc.

    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/ultimate-faqs/faq/

    [ultimate-faqs include_category=’education’ faq_id=’8876′]

    http://www.family-service.org/family-service/faq/

    Is there a more correct syntax to use?

    Ok. There is an easier way. I need to use the <FAQ> menu item on the editor page to include and exclude FAQ titles.

    Thanks for this app.

    Hi Dawn,

    Using the [ultimate-faqs] shortcode with the include_category attribute will display one category of FAQs. You cannot use the faq_id attribute in the [ultimate-faqs] shortcode. So the following would work and would display only FAQs from the education category: 

    [ultimate-faqs include_category='education']

    Using the [select-faq] shortcode will display one single FAQ. If you’re having trouble with the faq_id attribute, you can try using the faq_slug attribute instead, like so:

    [select-faq faq_slug='slug-of-faq']
