Build responsive accordions in WordPress
Accordion Pro is a WordPress accordion and FAQ builder for presenting expandable content in an organized, space-conscious layout. It is designed for frequently asked questions, help sections, product information, service details, and other content that benefits from toggle or collapse behavior.
The plugin supports responsive layouts for mobile devices and is described as browser compatible. You can create accordion groups and place them throughout a theme using shortcodes. The shortcode format provided in the source is [WPSM_AC id=xx], where the value identifies the accordion shortcode ID.
Organize content with a visual builder
Accordion Pro includes a drag-and-drop builder for arranging accordion items. Items can be reordered from the WordPress backend, while separate controls allow you to add or remove items as your content changes. This provides a practical workflow for maintaining FAQ sections and other expandable content without manually changing the display order.
The editor includes input fields for accordion content and multiple advanced custom fields. You can create unlimited accordion groups and use unlimited shortcodes to display those groups on different pages and posts. Accordion content can also be used in different locations throughout the theme.
Design and presentation controls
- Eight design templates for creating different accordion presentations.
- 500+ Google Fonts for typography choices.
- Twelve open and close icon sets, with an integrated Font Awesome icon picker.
- 30+ content animations for controlling how content appears.
- Four background overlay types and border color customization.
- Unlimited color options for adapting accordions to a site’s visual style.
- Two integrated styles for varying the overall presentation.
Font Awesome support, icon selection, and color controls help you create accordions that fit different page designs. An accordion preview option is included so you can review the presentation while building it.
Flexible display behavior
Accordion Pro includes toggle and collapse effects. You can configure the display so that one or more accordion items can remain open at the same time. The source also lists an option to hide all accordion content on page load or display all content initially.
A widget option provides another way to place accordion content within WordPress layouts. Shortcodes offer a separate placement method for pages and posts, while the responsive design helps the content adapt to mobile devices.
Practical uses
- Organize frequently asked questions into expandable sections.
- Present service descriptions without filling the page with every detail at once.
- Arrange product or feature information into separate collapsible items.
- Create help or documentation sections with sortable content.
- Reuse accordion groups across multiple pages and posts with shortcodes.
Installation and workflow
Install and activate Accordion Pro in WordPress, then create an accordion group in the backend. Add your content, choose the available design and behavior settings, and arrange items with drag and drop. Use the generated accordion shortcode where the group should appear, or use the widget option where appropriate. Preview the result and adjust colors, icons, typography, animation, or display behavior as needed.
