AssistCamp — Documentation/Knowledgebase Plugin

AssistCamp lets you build documentation sites inside WordPress. It works with both Full Site Editing (FSE) and classic themes, ships 10 purpose-built blocks, and provides an adaptive URL structure that adjusts automatically based on whether you have one or multiple knowledgebases.

Key Features

• FSE and Classic Theme Support — Works with block themes via HTML templates and classic themes via PHP templates. Themes can override templates by placing them in a assistcamp/ directory.
• Adaptive URL Structure — Single KB mode uses /docs/category/article/. When you add a second knowledgebase, URLs automatically switch to /docs/kb-name/category/article/.
• 10 Custom Blocks — Server-rendered blocks for documentation layout: sidebar navigation, search, breadcrumbs, category grids, table of contents, and more.
• Live Search — REST API-powered search with real-time dropdown results and configurable result limits.
• Built-in Caching — Transient-based caching for search results, queries, and term counts with configurable duration.
• Customizable Slug — Change the base documentation URL from the default /docs/ to any slug you prefer.
• Onboarding Wizard — Guided setup that creates your first knowledgebase, categories, and sample content.
• Customizer Integration — Layout and styling options for classic themes including sidebar position, typography, and search display.
• Translation Ready — Fully internationalized with a text domain for translation.
