## Beschreibung

SimpleDocs – Simple Documentation and Knowledge Base makes it easy to create, organize,
and display documentation on your WordPress site. Whether you’re building a help
center, knowledge base, or user guide, this lightweight plugin handles it all with
minimal configuration.

### Key Features

 * **Auto-generates a `documents` custom post type** – No setup needed.
 * **Auto-creates `doc-type` taxonomy** – Categorize and organize documents easily.
 * **Prebuilt archive page** with a clean card layout.
 * **Custom sidebar injection** on single document pages – replaces your theme sidebar
   automatically (make sure the sidebar is enabled in your theme layout settings).
 * **Full support for block (FSE) themes** – Automatically generates archive and
   single templates.
 * **Templates regenerate after theme switches** – No reconfiguration needed.
 * **Redirects doc-type archive pages** to the first listed document in that category.
 * **Smart archive queries** – Uses native WordPress loops, preserving your theme
   features.
 * **Ultra-lightweight CSS** – Only loads minimal styles, scoped to doc pages.
 * **Modern CSS only, no JavaScript** – Fast loading, less conflict.
 * **Responsive grid layout** on archive pages – Auto-applied even if your theme
   uses flex.
 * **Only 4 CSS variables** used for coloring:
 * `css
    :root { –simpledocs-accent-color: #2872fa; –simpledocs-link-color: #555;–
   simpledocs-border-color: #eee; –simpledocs-background-color: #fff; }

Use your theme’s Customizer or global styles to override them easily.

### Shortcodes

    ```
    [simpledocs_archive] — Displays the document archive

    [simpledocs_navigation] — Displays navigation links for documents
    ```

Use these shortcodes if you’re manually creating templates or using a page builder.

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin ZIP file.
 2. In your WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins -> Add New.
 3. Click the „Upload Plugin“ button, choose the ZIP file you downloaded, and click„
    Install Now.“
 4. After installation, activate the plugin.
 5. Go to Documents in your dashboard to start adding content.
 6. Use Document Types to categorize.
 7. Visit /documents/ for the archive or use shortcodes in any page.

## FAQ

### How do I create a document?

Just go to “Documents” in the admin menu and click “Add New.” Each document acts
like a post.

### How do I categorize my documents?

Use the built-in Document Types taxonomy. You can add/edit terms while editing any
document.

### My theme is block-based. Will this plugin work?

Yes. It auto-generates archive and single templates for FSE themes. If your theme
doesn’t pick it up, use the shortcodes to build your own template.

### I changed themes. Do I need to reconfigure?

Nope. The plugin automatically detects and regenerates needed templates for your
new theme.

### Can I disable the styles?

Styles are minimal and scoped to docs only. If needed, override them in your theme’s
custom CSS.

### Will this slow down my site?

Not at all. It uses no JS, loads no extra assets outside one css file per each doc
pages, and manipulates queries without altering global behavior.

Nice little plugin, well integrated to block themes. A search bar tailored to the
documentation on archive page would be nice for later version 🙂 Thank you !
