About the plugin

About WBP Knowledge Base

A WordPress plugin for building a modern knowledge base: categorized articles, instant search, article versioning, feedback capture, and optional AI answers grounded on your docs.

WBP Knowledge Base is a first-class citizen inside the WP Bulk Publishing ecosystem. It ships as an installable WordPress plugin, exposes REST endpoints under its own namespace, and shares user, credit, telemetry, and entitlement plumbing with the parent runtime — so it never becomes a silo.

Every capability is documented, versioned, and gated by WordPress capabilities. You can run it in isolation, or connect it to the rest of the WBP suite for compounding value across content, SEO, publishing, and revenue.

The problem

Why the default workflow breaks down

01

Support answers live everywhere and nowhere

The answer is buried in a ticket, a Slack thread, a doc, and a customer's DM. Nobody can find it twice.

02

Community sprawl

Discord + forum + comments + email. Members burn out, moderators burn out, and no one has a single view of activity.

03

Docs are always stale

Product ships weekly. Docs update quarterly. Every support ticket costs 30 minutes to reproduce because the docs lie.

04

No feedback loop

Great ideas from customers vanish into a shared inbox. Product never sees them. Customers stop suggesting them.

05

Onboarding is a black box

New users show up, get lost, and churn. You have no idea where in the funnel they gave up.

06

Franken-stack tool fatigue

Most teams stitch together 3–5 disconnected tools to do what WBP Knowledge Base does out of the box. Managing that stack becomes a second full-time job.

Security & privacy

Your data stays under your control

Runs on your own WordPress

No forced SaaS. Data stays in your database. External services only activate after you explicitly authorize them.

Capability-scoped

Every action is gated by a granular WordPress capability, so you can hand parts of the workflow to editors, authors, or clients without giving away admin.

Auditable by default

Structured logging surfaces every configuration change and every automated action for compliance and post-incident review.

Access control

Role-based permissions for every team

Administrator

Full access to configure, install, and manage WBP Knowledge Base.

Editor / Manager

Use the day-to-day workflows without touching site-wide settings.

Author / Contributor

Restricted access to their own work; cannot change global rules or connected services.

Custom roles

Every capability is mappable, so you can build tightly scoped roles for clients or offshore teams.

FAQ

Questions? We've been asked before.

Do I need any other plugin to use WBP Knowledge Base?＋

WBP Knowledge Base runs standalone. When you install the WP Bulk Publishing parent runtime as well, it unlocks shared credits, telemetry, and cross-plugin signals — but nothing is force-bundled.

Will it slow down my site?＋

Front-end code is loaded conditionally on the templates that actually need it, and heavy work runs on background queues rather than blocking the request. Core Web Vitals stay green.

Can I use it on multiple sites?＋

Yes. Plans are site-based with per-plan seat counts, and you can push settings from a parent site to child sites via the WP Empire Controller.

Is my data ever sent to third parties?＋

Only when you explicitly authorize an external service (an AI provider, a webhook, a CDN, etc.). Core functionality is fully local by default.

How do I get support?＋

Every WBP plugin ships with documentation, an in-plugin support widget, and email + community support on paid tiers.

What are the technical requirements?＋

WBP Knowledge Base needs WordPress 5.0+, PHP 7.4+, and MySQL 5.7+ (or MariaDB 10.3+). Full multisite support is built in.

Can I extend it with my own code?＋

Yes. WBP Knowledge Base exposes REST endpoints under wbp/wbp-knowledge-base/v1 and a full set of WordPress action and filter hooks under the wbp_knowledge_base_ prefix.
