WordPress FAQ Plugin (CMFAQ) - Adding/Editing FAQ Categories
Adding/Editing FAQ Categories
The WordPress FAQ plugin allows each question to have a specific category that can help readers find a question regarding a specific topic.
To do this, click on Categories under the plugin tab.

You can then add a category name, description, and specify a parent category.

For each category, you can upload an icon image and specify the order. This icon can be cleared after selecting the category page.
Here you also can assign a category to the Lists.
