Frequently asked questions.
Does my main glossary page need to be titled “Glossary”?
No. It can be called anything. Just be sure to enter the page’s id into the plugin’s preference dashboard.
Do I need to manually type in an unordered list of my glossary terms on the glossary page?
No. Just leave that page blank. The plugin creates the unordered list of terms automatically.
