AssistCamp

AssistCamp lets you build documentation sites inside WordPress. It works with both Full Site Editing (FSE) and classic themes, ships 11 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/. A Single Doc Permalink setting picks what follows the docs slug: Plain, Categorized, Knowledge Base, All, or a custom structure built from %knowledge-base%, %category% and %article%. Your default knowledgebase can drop its segment from doc URLs.
• 11 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.
• Setup Wizard – Two-step setup that sets your docs URL and page title, creates your knowledgebase(s) and categories, and can publish a starter doc per category.
• 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.
