So you want to build the next Quora or Stack Overflow? We have collected the best Q&A WordPress themes currently on the market.
To be fair, there is not a massive market for this specific type of theme. Many options currently available look like they have not been updated since the 90s.
In this selection, we have only included themes that meet modern design and security standards. In addition to clean design, a solid Q&A theme must support these core features:
- Let users ask questions
- Let other users submit answers
- Support voting on answers
QAEngine
QAEngine is made by Engine Themes, a developer known for creating highly specialized themes (such as classified ads and web directories).
QAEngine is a powerful Q&A WordPress theme, boasting the widest set of community features we have seen. You can create categories and tags for questions, which are then listed on the front page with all the context a visitor needs.
If you click on a question, you are able to:
- Share it to social channels
- Comment on specific threads
- Flag inappropriate entries
- Submit a detailed answer
Active contributors can earn badges, motivating your community members to remain engaged. Additionally, users can vote answers up and down, and the original poster can mark a specific answer as “best”, making it easy for future search traffic to find the correct answer immediately.
Ask Me
Ask Me features a modern, flat user interface and styling. Equipped with a built-in color picker and design tools, you can easily customize the layout to match your brand. It offers both boxed and full-width structures, alongside 10 pre-built color schemes.
This theme is not only suitable for a public Quora-like community, but also works exceptionally well as a customer support knowledge base. For businesses heavily impacted by repeat support requests, letting your customers search and ask questions in a centralized portal saves time and prevents you from answering the same questions repeatedly.
Just like QAEngine, Ask Me includes complete user profiles, point tracking, and the ability to mark questions as solved.
