thank you

very helpful. thanks

 Were you able to just plug this in through your admin language keys. I have been trying to, but when I have any Div tags in what i add to the input box nothing happens when I click save. When there are no Div tags and I click save I get the "successfully saved" message??? Any help is appreciated.

Just do not know how to do this? And when and how do you recompile? What does it mean?

admin panel >Settings>Language Settings look for FAQ and add the code in there.

after that recompile your site languages.

The recompile is the prompt that appears on the same page right above "Language Settings" right?

yes

Thanks so much.

Thank you!

Also making an extra menu tab under the "home" tab helps member to find this FAQ page quickly
