Topics

Topics can be used as articles with static content or as questions containers or both. A topic may also have children topics.

To create a new topic:

  1. Go to Topics and click on New.



  2. Enter a title and an optional description. Select a parent topic (optional) and a section (required). If this is a child topic, the section will be selected automatically.




      Languages

    In multi-language websites, all topics within a section must be assigned the same language as the parent section. Assigning a different language to a topic may have unintended consequences and may lead to 404 errors.
