EazyDocs: Doc Root URL Customization (Version 2.0.0)

This document explains the Doc Root URL format option introduced in EazyDocs version 2.0.0. This feature empowers you to personalize the structure of your documentation URLs, enhancing branding consistency and user experience.

Understanding Doc Root URLs

Doc Root URLs define the base path for accessing your documentation within your website. By default, EazyDocs utilizes the “/docs/” slug before the actual document name. For instance, a document titled “Getting Started” would have the URL structure yourwebsite.com/docs/getting-started.

Doc Root URL Format Option

EazyDocs 2.0.0 provides more control over your Doc Root URLs with the new format option. This feature allows you to:

• Select a Custom Slug: Replace the default “/docs/” slug with a term that aligns better with your website’s branding or structure. For example, you could choose “/knowledge-base/” or “/guides/”.

• Remove the Slug Entirely: Opt for a cleaner URL structure by eliminating the slug altogether. This would result in URLs like yourwebsite.com/getting-started (assuming your document is titled “Getting Started”).

Benefits of Customization

Customizing your Doc Root URL format offers several advantages:

• Enhanced Branding: Align your documentation URLs with your website’s overall branding for a more cohesive user experience.
• Improved User Experience: Clear and descriptive URLs can make it easier for users to navigate and find the information they need.
• SEO Potential: While not a direct SEO ranking factor, user-friendly URLs can contribute to a positive user experience, which can indirectly impact SEO.

Implementing Doc Root URL Customization

The Doc Root URL format option can be configured within the EazyDocs plugin settings. Here’s a general guideline:

• Navigate to your WordPress dashboard.

By leveraging the Doc Root URL format option, you can personalize your documentation URLs and create a more user-friendly and brand-consistent experience for your audience.
