Accordion Toggle

Reviewers say it's the most flexible accordion they've tried and that support answers fast, with a few asking for better defaults, clearer styling options, and an easier first setup.

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

54 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 20 listed. 33 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

   First the problems: The block has a purple as a default tab background. Every now and then (often) it resets to the default. Make the default transparent! The styles menu is sorted wrong, Icon tab should be after Tab and Content. The tabs in styles menu should be collapsed at opening the menu for easier navigation. There is no way to have a border around both the tab and content, when you have more than one tab Maybe rename Tab to Title and Content to Body and follow the standard. I don’t know. Accordions gap should allow value 0, i don’t want the background to show there Can’t set color for icon when Tab expanded. Everything else can be set The good bits Ridiculously many settings Easy to nest, works as expected The Content can be collapsed even in editor mode, even as default. No competitor allows this i think. Love it! It looks great

   I’ve been using the accordion toggle plugin for Frequently Asked Questions on my website and it has been working well for the past two years. I tried a few other accordion plugins but this was the best one I found. The one time I encountered an issue, I contacted support and received a prompt reply and had the issue resolved in less than 24 hours. Thank you!

   I’ve been enjoying using the accordion toggle plug in. It gives me all of the flexibility that I need for my FAQ lists, it’s working well. When I stumbled across one problem I reached out on the form and received prompt and helpful advice that solved the problem.

   Having tested and used quite a few accordions, I am liking this one more than the rest. It works neatly inside the page, rather than adding extra menus and the free version seems to have a lot of functions and flexibility, unlike other freebies. It would be nice if the tab colours could be edited individually, but maybe that’s something the developer will add later. Overall, good plugin.

   Accordions are just a must have for content on a website. I have tested a couple of accordion plugins but this one was the most customizable one. And since their last update, it even has the ability to change the title tags which was a big plus for me. Also, support is awesome. As far as I’m concerned this accordion plugin is the best one I know.

   This is my second review of this plugin. Previously it only supported plain-text content, not even links. It has changed, but not for the better. Problem 1: How to add content!@#!!&* I installed this and added one to a page, which started me out with three empty headings. I then clicked around for several minutes trying to see how to add content to a section. Eventually I happened upon the answer — you have to add an accordion item to the ones it inserts by default. If you do that, opening handles appear on all the items and you can expand them to add content. It’s very difficult to imagine how this wasn’t noticed by the developer if they did any testing AT ALL. Problem 2: Doesn’t work in preview mode. Using Twenty Twenty-One theme, no special style rules. Apparently the stylesheet for the plugin doesn’t load in preview. Problem 3: Editor appearance doesn’t reflect selected options. This seems to be a variation on the first problem. I select Classic vs Gradient appearance for the tabs, and nothing changes. I save and view the page (since as noted, preview doesn’t work) and the titles still have gradient appearance. After multiple edits, I got the “classic” styling to work, but when I put a nested accordion block into one of the sections, its tabs had the same styling as the containing accordion — the options I selected for the nested block were ignored. Bottom line: This was sloppily done, and released with basically no testing. I have lost all confidence in this developer and will not be reviewing any future versions.
