 okay now again let's come back to our dashboard okay this is the homepage now I just I've just noticed one thing that we are not getting that answer option okay we were getting this option like if you see the demo website let us go to the demo app said we are not getting this answer option also it is not displaying like this two answers one 100.

 and view sense home so on it is displaying in a very simple way because of we have done one set that we need to uncheck that so under question settings under general settings we have selected this on we need to make it off so this was select on if you need to choose the question at simple layout make it off click on save options come back to your website refresh it.

 okay now as you can see everything looks much better now let's click on answer okay now as you can see we are not able to answer when we click on the answer but we don't get any option to answer if you see this page if you see the demo apps and when you Click on the answer you will be redirected to the answer section.

 okay this is the answer section where you can leave your answer but we are not getting that option because by default that is disabled we need to enable that so let's see some more options so for that again we'll come back to our dashboard and we'll Click on die see we will see if we have seen the question set.

 now let's see answer settings so for that click on comments and answers okay select this thing first let's select comment settings so the comment will be posted below the post.

 okay when we will see later on how to create posts or how to create blog so under that all the things that come are comment and under question all the thing that comes is the answer so we have two tabs first let's see comments enable or disable the editor in the comment if you make it if you may enable this thing you'll get this editor if you click on answer let me show you that editor okay this is the editor as you can see this thing that you can use you can make bold something you can do all these things.

 okay this is the editor so we need to enable this after this activate the author image in comment or answer so if you see someone whenever someone answers this image is shown in the comment section.

 so the user can edit the comments or answer whether they can do it or not you can make it yes or no you can also change the time for example how after how many hours or within how many hours if you want to make it unlimited just type in zero that they can change it any time they want or if you make it just off they cannot do any editing in that whether they can delete the question or comment you can select these options it all depends on you just click on save options.

 now click on answers and enable or disable the editor in the answer just select yes we want to enable the editor in the answer then after that tabs for the answer voted oldest recent select on to activate the would add answers so whether answers can be voted or not as you can see answers can be voted over here so that is on.

 now video can be posted in answers or not you can select or eat on or off again it all depends on your attachment can be or things can be attached in answers or not so image or file can be attached or not so you again you can select here so no it all depends basically on you then come at the bottom and click on save options okay this is the settings required now let's try it again come back to our website refresh it now click on the answer still, nothing happens.

 okay because still one more setting, in fact, the main important setting the default WordPress setting is remaining so for that we'll hover over settings and click on the discussion now this is the default setting.

 now attempt to notify first of all default article setting another common setting all these options so first we'll see default article setting attempt to notify any blocks linked to forum fine allowed notification from blogs fine not tick mark this a lot of people to post comments on new articles this is the most important thing so make sure you tick mark this allow people to post a comment on new articles tick mark it other common setting comment author must fill out name and email.

 so whether you want to make these two things name and email compulsory yes we want to make it compulsory you use must be registered and logged into to comment important so tick mark this automatically closed comment older than this so we don't want to tick mark this make sure this thing is not dick mugged show comments cookies opt-in check our align comments author cookies to be set so we can set this yes we can just leave this thing as it is.

 now leave those settings to come over here email me whenever someone posts a comment or email me when a comment is held for moderation so we can select that the thing.

 now before a comment appears comment must be manually approved and take this thing because if you tick mark this thing whenever a person whenever someone comes to your website whenever they answer any particular question you will have to approve that answer only then that answer will display on the website so we don't want to do that.

 okay comment author must have previously approved comments not required so antique those things as well wet the bottom Click on Save Changes this just see the settings that I have done on this screen and tick mark everything that I have tick mark and untick everything that I have done ticked all right now after doing these settings again you need to click on dicey and we need to do user settings.

 now who all can post a comment who all can answer a question so for that we'll see user settings here user setting click on this now general setting register setting you have few tabs so first of all general setting author info box enable or disable cover image enable or disable so let me show you the author page.

 now this is the author page this is the info box now if you see this thing is blank but here some cover image will come so you can someone can upload a cover image like let I show you like as you can see over here we have this cover image so someone just can just come in they can click on this option edit profile and they will have the basic information first name last name picture or you know social information about me.

 all these options and they can also change the cover image here as you can see is the cover image option cover picture country and all those things so this options is enabled cover image enable or disable cover image with full width just leave these things to default.

 okay that is the best option okay rest everything looks fine over here just click on save options now come again at the top now you will see this option permissions.

 now this is the main important thing okay permissions who all can do what okay so select this and make it on to set custom thing now unlogged users which means that people who have not signed in or signed up on our website what all they can do so they can add a question no they cannot add a question can they show a select on - can-can show.

 okay some mistake over here basically whether they can see the question yes they can see the question but they cannot add a question now they cannot add an answer so I'll make it off but they can see the answer they cannot add a post and they can also not send so they can only do one thing they can see the question and they can also see the answer unlocked users.

 okay after that we have editor-author contributor subscriber so the editor can do all those things they can add a question they can see the question they can answer our the answer they can see the answer or they cannot add a pour or maybe they can add a post to your editor can add a post and they can send a message they can upload files author can also do though all these things contributor can also, do these things now subscribe our subscriber is the most common thing.

 okay these are all related to you editor-author contributor but a subscriber is just a simple person who has signed up on your website what all they can do they can add a question they can see the question they can add an answer they can see the answer but they cannot add a post and they can send a message that is fine and they can upload a file they cannot add a post rest they can do everything can save options right yes so once you do these permission settings.

 now let's do one thing let's open our website in a new incognito window after that let's try to create a new account and let's see whether we can post an answer or anything like that so I'll open this video window we can click on this setting in the Chrome browser we can click on the new incognito window and enter this website link and I see - or whatever your website link is dicey 2.4 m dot in.

 now as you can see this is how your website looks like we can change these things later on first, let's see whether we can do anything whether we can answer it so as you can see we cannot answer it we can see the question we can see all these things but we cannot add any answer so for that we need to sign up so I let's click on sign up enter any user name or email address, not this one and let's choose a password click on sign up.

 okay now we have signed up now again one more setting oh yah now as you can see I just entered my email address and I was signed up I I was not asked to confirm my email address so you want you can change these settings so if you want to change these settings you will see under user setting you to have this register setting so register user to default which group okay, subscriber group.

 now after logging where should they go so, they should go to home page or maybe you can select profile page and after register so that is after register then after login also they can select whatever after logout they go to the home page that is fine nowhere is the option confirm with email

 okay so if you make this on they will have to confirm their email address so we will send our website will send a link on their email address they'll have to go there click on that link confirm the email address after that they their the account will be activated so you can make this thing on or off it all depends on you after that again you can go at the bottom and click on save options all right, guess.

 now let's try it again so let us do one thing let us add a question and let's try to answer that question let's see whether that works or not so let me do one thing let me a poster question from our account and will the answer that question from this account that we have just created we have signed upon this website

 okay so let me do one thing we now these answers these questions cannot be answered okay by the way because these questions were created because before we did this setting that is the reason why.

 now let me do one new question and this demo question any category can be selected or just some simple takes to just type in any text select these two things click on publish your question.

 now once this is published come back to that account that you have just created refresh the page or go to the website go to the home page this is the question let's click on an answer now as you can see we get this option to leave an answer so we can now answer this thing now this is a wrong the question this is my answer.

 okay so I can add some attachment and all those things I can also add a video for answering because we have enabled these things.

 okay now click on submit now as you can see this answer is added you can up or you cannot upload your own answer but you can abort the question because that is by someone else now let's come back to the home page from our admin account let's go to the home page.

 now as you can see new khush new this question is answered you'll get a notification whenever someone something happens like as you can see when we click on this bell this user name has avoided and has answered our questions so let's see.

 let's open this okay one the answer we can upload this we can make this thing we can select this as the best answer by default it is in the process as you can see I'll select this as the best answer.

 okay now we refresh this website now as you can see this is now answered because the question the person who has posted the question has as selected our answer as the best answer so that is the reason why.

 okay this is now changed to answered now obviously still many people can just come over here and answer this question but this is how it works now let's see how we can create badges and points.

 okay so when you do this you'll get this many points and when you get these many points we'll get a particular badge to let's see how we can do those settings for that again we'll come back to this setting this page dicey settings page and from the left-hand side will click on badges and point setting.

 now we have badges setting point setting first we'll do points setting so how many points for what first you can just type in details for point like you can type in something like this.

 now point for adding a new question whenever someone adds a new question how many points will they get so maybe one point or two points how many numbers of point two you want to select points for adding a new post.

 now we will be adding a post so I'll just type in five-point points for choosing the best answer five that is fine points for voting questions so whenever I vote a question whether up or down that doesn't matter but if I voted some question I'll get one point for answering a question two points power points or voting the answer one point is a point for a new register so whenever someone resisters as a new account they will get 20 points so click on save options all these points are now added now let's create badges for different points so click on badges settings click on add new badge.

 and obviously, you can select badge by point or group so I'll just select batch by points click on add new badge.

 now first name badge beginner now beginner point can be 20 or because they have just signed up and when they sign up they get 20 points so they can be selected as beginners and the color can be black and you can type in detail that or get this badge you need to sign up and after that you will get 20 points and all those things you can type in the detail over you click on save settings after that click on add new badge and let me type in export and point for this will be maybe 25 colors will be red ok click on save settings come back to your website refresh it.

 now as you can see this a person is getting this export badge because this person has answered a question he has aborted a question his answer got uploaded and his answer also got selected the best answer so that is the reason why this person is getting this export badge so this is how this thing works.

 okay now that again let's come back to our dashboard now there is one more great option now for example as you can see you have just added a new badge and whenever someone gets a new badge they will get a very beautiful notification to let me show you let me open this account so this person got a notification.

 now when they click on user profile now as you can see they will get this notification you just unlocked a new badge woohoo you have earned expert badge here is a badge to celebrate looking for more and all those things.

 okay so this person has got this badge and all those things okay now this is the user page.

 okay this is the user page now I have this person has 28 points has won best answer one answer all these options are available here now if you want to verify any account for example if you want to verify this account you can come back to your dashboard and now click on users from the left-hand side click on that user and if you want to verify this account for example in Ayers triple7 click on edit go at the bottom search for verify.

 okay here it is your avatar your call cover country age all this option or here's the option check if you need this user is verified user make it on and just update the user obviously you have some more options you can select that now come over here refresh this page now let us open this question now as you can see this person is now verified and is an expert so this is how this thing works so all the important things are now present anyone can leave a question anyone can answer that that question and all these things are working now let's do a few things let's start adding other pages that we need.

okay so for that again we'll come back to the dashboard will how our pages click on add name let's first create the about page so simply type in about us or about whatever you like now click on publish now first let me show you the demo website about page.

 okay so this is our about page now if you see this first of all, we don't have any sidebar and anything if you see this space that we have just created if you view this page in a new tab we have this sidebar and all but if you want you can change the layout for that you can click on page
