General settings

  • Show in menu: seamlessly add a Knowledge Base link to your site's footer menu, making help content accessible from anywhere and reducing customer effort.

  • Base URL: define a clean, branded frontend URL for your Knowledge Base. For example, setting it to knowledge-base creates a user-friendly link like http://example.com/knowledge-base.html, boosting trust and easy navigation.

  • Enable articles rating: invite customers to rate articles, gathering real-time feedback to fine-tune your content strategy. Higher engagement means better insights and stronger customer loyalty.

  • Enable SEO-friendly URLs: boost your Knowledge Base’s visibility in search engines effortlessly. Clean, keyword-rich URLs enhance organic traffic and position your site as a trusted information source.

    Example

    An article with URL key mars under planets becomes http://example.com/knowledge-base/planets/mars.html.

  • Limit of article's links on category view page: control how many articles are shown per page for a smooth, clutter-free browsing experience that keeps readers engaged.

  • Hide article's author: keep the focus on your brand and content by optionally hiding the article's author information.

  • Hide article's date: maintain the timeless relevance of your content by hiding publication dates — perfect for evergreen articles.

  • Display article amount: show the number of articles available in each category without subcategories, giving users a quick overview of the content’s depth.

  • Exclude categories URL-keys from the article URL: streamline URLs even further by removing category keys. Simpler URLs improve click-through rates and offer a cleaner, more professional appearance.

    Note

    After changing this option, it’s recommended to regenerate URLs for existing articles.
