Hi, dear WordPress FAQ plugin users,  I hope this message finds you are doing well and enjoying wonderful time with your family. 🙂 We just released wordpress faq pro version 4.8.6, in this version, we added a new option ‘Custom FAQ Item Order” in WordPress FAQ global settings panel 🙂

Why Customizing the Order of FAQ Items Can Benefit You

The request for a custom FAQ item order in the front-end is quite insightful and can significantly enhance the user experience for several reasons:

1. **Relevance and Prioritization**: Users may want to highlight certain FAQs that are more relevant or frequently asked. By allowing custom ordering, they can ensure that the most important questions are seen first, making it easier for visitors to find the information they need quickly, users can easily find support, tutorials, and examples.

2. **User-Centric Design**: Different audiences may have different needs. Custom ordering allows users to tailor the FAQ section to their specific audience, ensuring that the content is organized in a way that resonates with their visitors.

3. **Improved Navigation**: A well-structured FAQ section can improve the overall navigation of a website. By customizing the order, users can create a logical flow that guides visitors through the information, reducing frustration and enhancing the overall experience.

4. **Highlighting New Features or Updates**: If a business has recently launched a new product or feature, they might want to move related FAQs to the top. This flexibility allows them to keep their content dynamic and relevant.

5. **Enhanced Engagement**: When users can find answers quickly, they are more likely to stay on the site longer and engage with other content. This can lead to higher conversion rates and customer satisfaction.

6. **Feedback and Adaptation**: As businesses evolve, so do their FAQs. Custom ordering allows users to adapt their FAQ sections based on feedback or changing trends, ensuring that the information remains current and useful.

Overall, this feature request reflects a desire for greater control and flexibility in presenting information, which ultimately leads to a better user experience for both the website owners and their visitors.

### What is an FAQ?

**FAQ** stands for **Frequently Asked Questions**. It is a list of common questions and answers related to a specific topic, product, or service. FAQs are designed to provide quick and accessible information to users, helping them find answers to their queries without needing to contact support or search extensively. They can cover a wide range of topics, including:

– Product features and specifications
– Pricing and payment options

FAQs are beneficial for both users and businesses, as they enhance user experience, reduce the volume of repetitive inquiries, and provide a centralized source of information.

Hi, Dear WordPress Tooltip plugin users, hope this message find you are doing well and having wonderful holiday with your family:)  We get a ticket from wordpress FAQ with tooltips plugin user:

Hello,
I recently purchased the WordPress FAQ with Tooltips Pro plugin and I must say it is one of the most powerful FAQ plugins I have come across.

However, I noticed that the plugin version I purchased was 4.5.6, but shortly after, I discovered that the current version on your website is already 4.8.6. It seems that you release updates frequently, and I am eager to benefit from the enhancements in a timely manner.

I have a request: would it be possible for you to add a push notification feature for updates to the plugin? This would greatly help me stay updated with the latest versions and take advantage of new features promptly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yes, we are happy to add a push notification feature for updates to the wordpress FAQ with tooltips plugin. Now, if you upgrade to wordpress FAQ with tooltips pro 4.9.6, when there are new version be released  in our site tooltips.org, at the top of your wordpress back-end, you will find a new plugin released notification bar, you can dismiss it or just click it to download your new version of wordperss FAQ with tooltips pro plugin 🙂
