On that FAQ screen, the Happy FAQs Panel metabox is where you choose where it appears. Go to Happy FAQs → Add New. The title is the question. The editor is the answer (HTML, images, and video are allowed). Optionally assign a FAQ category (for example Shipping or Returns). You can later show that whole category on a help page. Open the Happy FAQs Panel metabox and assign: Products — search and attach specific WooCommerce products. Product categories — every product in those categories inherits this FAQ. Product tags — every product with those tags inherits this FAQ. Display in pages — product pages (free). Shop, cart, and checkout are (PRO). Global FAQs (PRO) — show this FAQ on every product. Product attributes (PRO) — insert live values such as {product_price} in the answer. Nested FAQs (PRO) — show other FAQs inside this answer as a smaller accordion. To show FAQs on a normal WordPress page, use a shortcode, Happy Prebuilt FAQs or Happy Custom FAQs (Gutenberg block, Elementor widget, or Divi 4/5 module), or Settings → FAQ page. You can also attach FAQs from the product edit screen. One FAQ can appear in more than one place.
