Custom WordPress FAQ Nest Plugin (Nested Accordion System)

Introduction

This plugin is a nested FAQ system for WordPress that allows you to structure content into layered sections using Nests, Topics (Groups), and Questions.

It is designed to give full control over layout, typography, and spacing without relying on external FAQ libraries or page builders.

It also includes automatic FAQPage structured data generation to improve SEO visibility.

What this plugin does

This plugin introduces a structured FAQ system:

• Nest = top-level FAQ container
• Topic (Group) = accordion section
• Questions = expandable Q&A items

Each level can be independently styled, reordered, and configured.

Key Features

• Multi-level nested FAQ system (Nest → Groups → Questions)
• Fully customisable heading levels (H1–H6 support)
• Typography controls (font size, bold, uppercase)
• Layout controls (indentation, spacing, borders)
• Expand and collapse icon styling
• Optional question preview in collapsed state
• Custom CSS injection per level
• Theme override flexibility

How it works

The system is built around a simple structure:

1: Nest creates the page-level FAQ container
2: Groups divide content into topics
3: Each group contains expandable questions and answers

This allows large FAQ systems to remain structured and easy to navigate.

Styling system

Each level of the system includes full styling control:

• Nest title styling (heading level, font size, borders, spacing)
• Group/topic styling (alignment, uppercase, borders)
• Question styling (bold, size, icon control)
• Answer styling (font, alignment, spacing)

Custom CSS can be injected at each level for advanced layout contro

SEO and FAQ schema support

This plugin automatically generates FAQPage structured data (Schema.org) based on the nested FAQ content.

When enabled, it outputs valid JSON-LD markup in the page head, allowing search engines to understand the FAQ structure without requiring external SEO plugins.

This means:

• No need for SEO plugins just for FAQ schema
• Schema is generated directly from the Nest, Group, and Question structure
• Content remains consistent between frontend display and structured data

Because the FAQ structure is native to the plugin, the schema always matches what users actually see on the page.

Use cases

• Documentation pages
• Plugin manuals
• Knowledge bases
• Product FAQs
• Structured content hubs
• Tutorial breakdown pages

Final note

This plugin is part of the Web Workbench system and is designed for structured content rather than simple flat FAQ lists.

It is built to scale into larger documentation-style systems where grouping and hierarchy matter.
