    Hi,

    I wish to switch to your Knowledge Base Plugin from a previous plugin which is no longer active or updated, support for newer PHP versions and has security issues.

    My question is: Is there a easy way to merge or import the articles or would I need to start over? Theme support shouldn’t be an issue as I use a basic theme (twentytwelve). It’s just the articles.

    Cheers

    The code is the pastebin above looks clean?

    But, I am thinking this is probably because on other pages the entire template is being rendered normally. While on the front page you’re using a block/shortcode which is within the content area and so getting the extra markup around it.

    You could use CSS to reduce the padding by specifically targeting the entry-content / post-header on the front page – probably other pages as well? I tend to play with that in Inspector view in FF as my CSS is nowhere close to PHP!

    I’ve made this “Homepage mode” as I am calling it into the pro version of the plugin as it goes hand-in-hand with the custom permalinks feature that is part of the plugin.

    Still working on release date and timelines.

    Hi Ajay,

    Sorry for the 2 week delay, been busy! Returning to my staging site now. Current progress is here.

    While on the front page you’re using a block/shortcode which is within the content area and so getting the extra markup around it.

    That is indeed the case! I ended up calling it via PHP file instead of a shortcode, perfect! Just working on the Search field now as you will notice from above link it’s not in the same page on homepage as articles.

    I’m still wondering If possible to also override other files/folders? As per this comment. I haven’t had any luck so far trying to override class-breadcrumbs.php

    I’m still on 3.0.0-beta2 so will update to 3.0.0-beta3 not sure what’s new in beta 3 as the GitHub notes beta2’s.

    The PHP file option was the best.

    There isn’t an easy way to override the breadcrumbs as this isn’t a template. However, since you’re making your own templates, you code code in whatever is needed including the breadcrumbs.

    What did you have in mind for the breadcrumbs?
