1. Live notification system

Taking advantage of the WordPress Heartbeat API, your site now have a live notification system. Every time a new post is published, your visitors receive a real-time message. If they feel interested in it, they can click on the notify message to go to the new post.

You can consider this function as a bridge which helps visitors to involve in different topics and make your site more active.

2. Front-end WordPress Customizer

Different from our previous themes, QAEngine now uses the WordPress customizer to apply all needed changes in appearance, and still directly in the front-end.

Using this powerful tool, you can quickly change the colors in your site without any limitations, as well as other information such as your site title, taglines…

Simply click on the color you want to set it up for different purposes:

–          The site’s link color,
–          The main action color,
–          The sidebar background color,
–          The header background color,
–          And the header menus background color.

Besides, in the Navigation section, you can decide which menus to be displayed in the front-end. Currently, QAEngine supports two menus and you can select where to apply them: on the header or the left sidebar.

Moreover, you can easily choose a page to appear as your front page and posts page: it can be from your latest posts or a static page.

Last but not least, you are also allowed to quickly change the widget setting. You can decide which widgets to appear on the left or right sidebar.

3. Pending questions

With this new release, you can prevent inappropriate questions appear on your site by enabling this function. All questions then will have to pass your approval before being displayed in the front-end, which means you absolutely keep your site stay away from unsuitable questions.

4.  Ajax live search

The feature name has said it all. Now when you write a keyword on the search bar, a list of related posts will appear for you to choose from, even when you don’t press the Enter button.

QAEngine’s Price Change

Maybe some of you are aware that QAEngine has also been published in ThemeForest, just like its older brother WordPress forum theme ForumEngine. This has led to a pricing difference between the two places. In order to amend this issue, the price of QAEegine in EngineThemes is now reduced to $49. This will be effective right after this blog is published.

For those who have already purchased QAEngine with a higher price, don’t worry yet. We promise to compensate you with a FREE extension, which is still a work in progress at the moment and will be released soon. And we believe that you wouldn’t be disappointed with it.

Please accept our apology for this inconvenience and thank you very much for your understanding.
