There you will have to enter the title for your category and click on "Add' button on bottom right corner.

 

So you have added at least one category now and you are now in category listing page.

 

In the list you will be able to see a “View FAQs” button. If you click on that you will be redirected to FAQ listing under this category. For the first time it will be blank until you add any FAQ under this category.

In similar way add  few more FAQs.

If there are FAQs under a category that category cannot be deleted and in list the delete icon is replace by a lock icon for the categories where there are FAQs under that category.

If any FAQ or category is set as active, only that will come when adding block in front end.

 

After doing it, go to frontend page edit mode and add block there. In your block list you will find "Advanced FAQ" block to display your added FAQs.

 

In Add "Advanced FAQ" block you will have to set which contents you want to display and in which fashion.

 

Suppose you want to display your FAQs as accordion. Now from Select Dynamic Display select box you will be able to choose the category you added. When you choose a category, all the questions under this category will be listed with checkbox beside the each question. You can choose any of them.

 

Now you can choose any of the display option (Accordion, Scroll to answer, Simple question answer). As for example if you are adding accordion you will choose accordion. Click on save and publish your edits. Now in front end you can see the effects.
