9. Bonus: Barn2 Media
Ok, Barn2 Media doesn’t actually use our KnowAll theme. Instead, they use our Heroic Knowledge Base plugin. It’s a great example to end with because it shows how you can also integrate a powerful knowledge base into your existing WordPress theme.
Barn2 Media needs to provide detailed articles for a variety of plugins, so their knowledge base homepage contains plenty of links to make that content accessible, as well as a search box that lets visitors filter by all of the plugins that they sell:
And even though Barn2 Media opted for the Heroic Knowledge Base plugin, they’re still able to include the same type of functionality in their individual articles. They get:
- The live support transfer button that tracks clicks so that they can see which help articles lead to the most live support requests.
- Article helpfulness ratings.
- Related article lists.
