A beautiful, categorized knowledge base and FAQ section with a built-in question submission form.

== Description ==

**Kung Woo Help Center** is a lightweight, customizable, and easy-to-use plugin that allows you to build a professional knowledge base or FAQ section for your users. It is perfect for WooCommerce stores, corporate websites, or any business that wants to reduce support tickets.

With a single shortcode `[kung_woo_help_center]`, you can display a fully functional help center on any page. 

### Key Features:
* **Custom Post Type & Taxonomy:** Clean URL structure (`/kung-woo-help-center/`) for all your support articles and categories.
* **Modern Interface:** Includes a Hero section with search, top columns for main categories, and a tabbed layout for subcategories.
* **Frontend Submission Form:** Users who can't find their answer can submit a question directly from the help center page.
* **Pending Questions:** Submitted questions appear in your WordPress dashboard as "Pending" articles, waiting for you to answer and publish them.
* **Advanced Customization:** Change colors, backgrounds, layout columns, section spacing (padding), and categories directly from the settings panel.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the entire `kung-woo-help-center` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install it directly through the WordPress plugins screen.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Go to **Help Center -> Settings & Appearance** to configure your layout, spacing, and colors.
4. Add your support articles via the **Help Center** menu.
5. Place the `[kung_woo_help_center]` shortcode on any page or post to display the knowledge base.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I change the colors and spacing of the Help Center? =
Go to the plugin settings under `Help Center -> Settings & Appearance` in your WordPress dashboard. You can customize the hero background image, primary accent colors, link colors, search bar colors, section backgrounds, and section paddings.

= What happens if I don't set a background image? =
By default, the plugin will load a built-in hero image. You can always override this by pasting your own image URL in the settings panel.

= Where do the submitted questions go? =
When a user submits a question via the frontend form, it is saved as a "Pending" post in your Help Center menu. You can review it, write your answer, choose the right category, and publish it.

= Can I hide the submission form? =
Yes! You can toggle the visibility of the "Ask a question" form directly from the plugin settings page.
