Hello and welcome to WPBeginner.com. Today
I'll show you how to create a 
question and answers site in WordPress.
People love looking for answers online and with sites like Quora, yahoo answers, and other great sites like
that, these are great ways to share content and allow
people to help each-other with questions and answers.
using a plugin, I'll show you how to create
your own question and answer site.
First thing you want to do is install and
activate DW Question Answers plugin.
Once activated, the plugin creates two new
pages. DWQA Questions and DWQA Submit Question.
If you want to edit the title, just go to
Pages-->all pages and to a quick edit on the
title and the slug of the new pages.
You also want to edit your General Settings
to allow user registration on your site.
We'll scroll down to membership section and
check Anyone can register.
I also need to make sure Subscriber is the
default role for the site.
Next I'll go to DW Q&A-->Settings and fill
out the general tab settings.
I want to make sure the pages are setup for
Listing the Questions and a page for a user
to ask a question.
Down here under time settings, this highlights
a new question for this many hours.
And if no one has answered, this shows as
overdue question.
For single questions, we can pick a slug here.I'll
put question.
Under notifications tab, this is where we
customize the emails sent to users when a
question is asked, answered, or a new comment
is added.
Under permissions tab, you can choose user
roles allowed to ask questions or answer questions
and leave comments.
We currently have it where a user must register
to ask a question. We can also edit who can
answer or edit them.
Let's take a look at the front end. by default
the plugin is designed to fit with
most WordPress themes.
questions can be searched or sorted by status,
categories, views, and answers.
Users can vote on questions, answers and add
their own comments. You can also follow a
question by clicking on the star icon next to
each question.
If you want to mark it as resolved, the initial user who
asked the question and the administrator can
can also mark it as resolved.
To encourage interactions, users can also
vote on best answers which helps keep the
content useful.
