Hello! Am I able to set roles such that only certain users can answer questions? The thing is we are creating a knowledge platform and we have a group of experts in various fields. Hence, the public can ask questions but only our verified experts can answer them cos we don’t want it to be noisy with “non-expert” people trying to give their 2 cents worth or messing up the main objectives of the asker.
 
Also, all users will have to be logged in before they can post or answer questions. My registration and login forms are built using Ninja Forms and my theme is Divi Builder. Will there be any conflicts? Thank you!
 
Lastly, what are the differences between the free and pro versions? And for the reCAPTCHA, is it related to Google? Cos my main user base will be in China and China’s firewall is infamous for blocking anything related to google.

1/ At the moment, the plugin does not support to set roles such that only certain users can answer questions. The plugin allows set permission for user roles.
2/ No problem, the plugin won’t conflict.
3/ The pro version of DW Question & Answer has been improved a lot since we have collected suggestions from our beloved users and added them into DW Q&A. You can see and demo here:

If the demos aren’t enough, read these lines to take a closer inspection at the differences between the free and the pro version of DW Question & Answer:

  • Different styles: As you can see in the demos, both versions of DW Question & Answer have unique and different styles.
  • Extra extensions: DW Question & Answer Pro is integrated with 4 premium extensions: DW Q&A Widgets, DW Q&A Leaderboard, DW Q&A Markdown, and DW Q&A Captcha. Each extension costs $29 and if you purchase the pro version, you’ll save at least $92 for yourself, because we are constantly updating the DW Question & Answer with many more cool premium extensions.
    • Widgets: The free version supports 4 custom widgets while the pro version supports 7.
    • Leaderboard: The Pro version can list who makes great contributions as well as provides friendly competitions for your community.
    • Markdown:
      • The markdown feature in the Pro version of DW Q&A Pro helps you to edit the plain text without using HTML formatting tags, now you can read and edit drafts with ease.
      • Reviewable before submitting.
      • Spell check.
