DevDocs

Give your documentation a clear place to live.

What it does

DevDocs turns WordPress into a home for developer documentation, with articles, nested topics, search, and a changelog in one reading layout. Visitors get a collapsible sidebar for finding their way around, while you keep writing and organising the content in WordPress.

Key features

  • Documentation articles grouped into topics and nested subtopics.
  • A collapsible sidebar with instant article search.
  • A welcome screen with optional topic cards and the latest update.
  • A version-by-version changelog timeline.
  • Breadcrumbs, updated dates, previous/next links, and manual ordering.
  • Brand colours, a full-page mode, and shortcode placement.

Get started in three steps

  1. Install and activate DevDocs, then create your first articles under DevDocs → Add Document.
  2. Assign articles to Topics, build any nested sections, and set their order.
  3. Choose a Documentation Page under DevDocs → Settings, or embed the documentation with its shortcode. Add changelog entries as your product evolves.

Frequently asked questions

Create a document and assign it to a Topic. DevDocs adds it to the sidebar automatically.

Yes. Place child topics inside a main topic to build a folder-style structure, then adjust their order.

Use Breakdance’s dedicated Shortcode element for the DevDocs shortcode. Save and check the live page; the builder canvas may need a refresh.

DevDocs is designed to keep its layout and styling within your chosen documentation page or shortcode placement.
