Improve documentation #75

Hi @davidrhoderick |
completely agree with @davidrhoderick, I managed to figure out how to set up the hooks for the Astra child theme, but where do I go after that? I have been scratching my head for an hour trying to figure out what to do next, where to put the shortcode? |
@gbassoc Questions like where to put the shortcode or how to use the widgets seem more like general WordPress questions to me. Anyway, I still like to add an installation wizard to provide a better starting point for new users. But as I mentioned, any contributions on that part are very welcome as I'm maintaining this plugin in my free time. |
hey @JoryHogeveen The plugin works great, a big thank you for creating it, I could only find 2-3 plugins offering sidebars! You have a tab labeled shortcode but no explanation of what it is meant for, I had to play around with it before the penny dropped! Anyway, I managed to work out how to use the plugin after a couple of hours of trial and error. I could have had it all done in 5 mins if there were a few lines explaining the purpose of each tab. |
When the plugin is installed, the documentation does not take you through steps completing the setup. For example, it states that since 5.2, wp_open_body and wp_footer are the hooks and doesn't mention anything in "Basic theme setup" beyond locating those hooks (nothing about changing the hooks in the plugin). However, this is definitely not the case as the hooks have to be changed since they default to website_before and website_after.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
wp_open_body and wp_footer should be entered by default as the hooks OR the "Basic theme setup" shouldn't be the one that requires you change those values. At least put it in the instructions!
Specifications
Additional context
Honestly, this is a fantastic plugin and so much simpler than trying build something similar with Astra or Elementor or via a child theme. It's a shame the documentation or plugin isn't updated so they match. I almost gave up on using this because the instructions were unclear and this happens all too often with hundreds of plugins.
