Creating a Knowledge Base article

Follow these steps:

    1. Go to Knowledge Base > Add New
    2. Enter a Title
      • The Knowledge Base search uses titles to find articles
    3. Enter text, images, video, and other media for the article in the text editor
    4. Use the Section > Choose Section block to the right of the text editor to select the category for the article
      • Note: New sections can be added at Knowledge Base > Sections
    5. Use the Publish block to the right of the text editor to publish the article by clicking the Publish button
    6. Ignore other blocks including: Excerpt, Send Trackbacks, Discussion, Author, Template Knowledge Base, Articled Icon, and Featured Image

Knowledge Base > Manage KBs

We are using only one Knowledge Base, so you can ignore this option.

Knowledge Base > Sections

Sections are the primary way to organize Knowledge Base articles. Use Knowledge Base > Sections in the WordPress menu to add or edit sections.

BasePress

The BasePress menu controls basic settings in the Knowledge Base. Most users will not need to access these menus.
