Give readers an answer first

Search, browse, or ask AI before opening another support ticket.

Show the source, not a black box

Every AI answer links back to the approved articles it used.

See what your documentation is missing

Failed-search reports show the questions that still need a useful answer.

The reader experience

Give readers three ways to find an answer

Some visitors know the topic, some know the exact phrase, and some only know the question. ProductLift supports all three without forcing the reader through a support form.

01 · BROWSE

Browse clear categories and long articles

Group setup, billing, integrations, or policies into categories people can scan. An automatic table of contents and breadcrumbs keep longer WordPress help articles navigable.

02 · SEARCH

Search the full library and expose missing answers

Readers search article titles and content. Search analytics and failed searches turn every "no result" into a concrete brief for the next useful article.

03 · ANSWER

Ask AI, inspect the sources, then rate the answer

Ask AI answers from published content and links to the articles it used. A short "Was this helpful?" response tells your team whether the explanation actually solved the problem.

A help center first, AI only where it helps

Readers can browse and search normally. Ask AI is an extra route to the same reviewed content, not a replacement for your articles. The same principle appears throughout our knowledge base best practices.

Content workflow

Build and maintain the knowledge base outside WordPress

ProductLift holds the source content. That keeps the same help center available on WordPress, a custom domain, and other product surfaces without duplicate articles.

If the article structure is not defined yet, use the step-by-step guide to creating a knowledge base before importing or drafting.

Explore knowledge base software →

Import an existing article from any URL

Start with documentation you already published and turn it into an editable article.

Draft and improve with AI

Turn a topic and rough notes into a structured draft. AI assists, your team approves before publishing.

Organize articles around the reader

Use categories, tags, rich formatting, and separate knowledge base tabs for products or audiences.

Publish now or schedule the update

Release a guide immediately or schedule it to appear with a product change.

Catch broken links before readers do

The health scanner identifies broken links and the article containing each one.

Multilingual publishing

Translate one approved article into 28 languages

Generate a translation, review it, and publish only when it is ready. When the English source changes, ProductLift can create a fresh translated draft while keeping human approval in the workflow.

Built for WordPress businesses

A WordPress knowledge base for more than software docs

Use the same embedded help center for a plugin, a store policy, a member area, or a finished client site. Browse our knowledge base examples for ways to organize each audience.

Plugin and theme documentation

Setup guides, compatibility notes, integration walkthroughs, and troubleshooting for customers who need more than a readme file.

WooCommerce customer help

Shipping, returns, subscriptions, sizing, and account questions in one searchable help center.

Course and membership resources

Onboarding, lesson access, billing, certificates, and community rules, with signed WordPress SSO when needed.

Agency handover portals

A clear client reference for editing pages, publishing content, managing media, and requesting help.

Live example

Try a live ProductLift knowledge base

Browse categories, open an article, and test the public experience before adding it to WordPress. Article pages open inside this live help center, so you can follow the complete reader journey.

Add it to your site

Add your ProductLift knowledge base to WordPress

Choose the official plugin when you want a shortcode and optional signed SSO. Use the embed for a public knowledge base, or host it on a separate help domain.

Recommended

Official plugin + shortcode

  1. 1. Install ProductLift from Plugins > Add New.
  2. 2. Enter your ProductLift portal URL.
  3. 3. Add [productlift_embed tab="kb"].
Open on WordPress.org ↗
</>

Gutenberg or page builder embed

Paste the ProductLift embed into a Custom HTML block, Elementor HTML widget, Divi Code module, or another element that accepts HTML.

Best when the knowledge base is public and WordPress login is not required.

↗

Custom help domain

Keep WordPress navigation and branding, then send readers to a full help center on a domain such as help.yoursite.com.

Best for a larger library and dedicated support destination.

Hosted or native

ProductLift or a native WordPress knowledge base plugin?

Both put documentation on WordPress. The useful distinction is where the content lives, how it reaches other surfaces, and who maintains the system. If you are deciding whether a smaller question list is enough, compare a knowledge base with an FAQ first.

Choose ProductLift when

Hosted
  • The same knowledge base should work inside WordPress and on a custom domain
  • Readers should get AI answers with links to source articles
  • Your team needs central editing, translations, imports, and link-health checks
  • Logged-in WordPress users should enter through optional signed SSO

Choose a native plugin when

Self-hosted
  • Every article must remain a WordPress post or custom post type
  • You need WordPress-specific blocks, templates, hooks, or extensions
  • Your editors should work only in wp-admin
  • Owning plugin updates and compatibility is preferable to a hosted service

ProductLift is not a live-chat or ticketing plugin

It is the self-service layer that helps readers solve repeat questions before they need support.

Optional product workflow

Document a shipped change without rebuilding the context

The knowledge base works on its own. Product teams can also connect it to the rest of ProductLift, so a completed request can become a changelog update and help article.
