AnsPress adds a full question and answer system to your existing WordPress site. It can be used to create a Q&A network similar to StackOverflow and Quora, or be a single page on existing site. The plugin supports multiple languages, shortcodes, reCAPTCHA, email and push notifications, and more. AnsPress is not just limited to questions and answers. It can be used in many different ways, like a bug tracker, an internal Q&A board, support ticket forum, FAQ, and more. Anspress is trusted and used by many popular companies and sites at scale. **Performance and Optimizations:** In our latest release, we’ve made big improvements to performance and have tested the plugin in many different server environments. It has run smoothly on every type of server with minimal impact on load times. AnsPress (including all of its functionalities) is very fast compared to other Q&A plugins. In the latest release we have made major improvements to reduce MySQL queries and to increase the page load speed for all page templates within the plugin. **Developer Friendly:** AnsPress is built with developers in mind and can easily be extended to fit your needs. All parts of the template layouts can be overridden. Our source code follows WP coding standards and is properly commented. We are working on a documentation site which will be available soon. **Contributors:** This plugin wouldn’t be possible without the huge amount of contributions we have received.

There are no way to make it look good and useful unless you spend a fair amount of development.No improvements has been made for years. Still not a single Gutenberg widget exist, the few short codes existing are not useful in any way. The forum has plenty of promises for features that has never been made.This plugin seems to be made and provided for free so that the developer can earn money on developing all the missing features that people need to make a useful Q&A for a site in 2024, “developer friendly” = for the developer who made the plugin .I would prefer a premium plugin that is useful than a free plugin that is missing simple and vital functionality to implement and design it for your needs. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2a5f191597d11d5c90461fc2fb218e7b1e82fc1d6677088f972dbe774bdc6ed6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy to use and customize](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-to-use-and-customize-40/)󠁿 [davidjosue11](https://profiles.wordpress.org/davidjosue11/) Septanm 19, 2023 This Q&A plugin is very easy to setup and start using quickly. I like that it has a simple design that’s fast and optimized. The developer tools make it really easy to customize the look and feel to match my site.

The below reason is why I am rating this plugin with 1-star. If something is advertised in a plugin, it needs to actually exist. Installed this plugin ONLY because it claims“ SEO Friendly Questions and answers are search engine optimized, with schema.org markup.” However, it does not. The schema markup does not exist. I tried validating the QA Pages through Schema.org and nothing appears. Same result in Google Rich Results Test. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9db5f35b7be9b85907077efa0c6b398a6a4d09a2f378792b84ec108d24d3ba5c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great questions answers plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-questions-answers-plugin/)󠁿 [incometube](https://profiles.wordpress.org/isbuilder/) Mas 29, 2023 Great plugin.
