Installation - Full steps

Install question2answer site

  1. Install your q2a site by following question2answer.org guide

Add **search-in-setting* plugin*

  1. Get the source code for this plugin from github
  2. Copy it to %q2aHOME%qa-plugin folder

Turn it on 1 of 2 - via Plugins

  1. Go to Admin -> Plugins page of your installed question2answer site, we will see all plugins are listed here
  2. Locate Search In Setting, select options, make sure Enable this plugin is checked, and hit Save Changes

Turn it on 2 of 2 - via Layout

  1. Go to Admin -> Layout, the widget Search In Setting should be listed there under Available widgets
  2. Hit Add widget to add our search box to the content layout
  3. Select where to display it in Position e.g. 'Main area - Top'
  4. Check the following page checkboxes to select pages to display e.g. 'Show widget in this position on all available pages' for all pages

Note

In Admin - General page, at Preferred site URL, the URL of your q2a home page should be copied there correctly.

E.g. If your published page is at http://demo.question2answer.org/, then this exact URL should be used in Preferred site URL box.

This helps to display the search result page properly.
