Accordions 4.0.1Latest
Accordions 4.0.0
- New: Live search box above the accordion. It filters items by title and content as you type, with a custom placeholder and a “no results” message.
- New: “Expand all” and “Collapse all” buttons.
- New: Deep links. Every item gets a shareable link from its title (for example /faq/#return-policy). Opening the link opens and scrolls to the item. Works with non-Latin titles.
- New: Two-column FAQ layout, chosen from a new picture picker right below Accordion Themes.
- New: Hover and Open (active) colors for the title background, title text and icon in the Design tab. Hover colors work with a mouse and with keyboard focus.
- New: CSV import and export of items. Import can add to or replace the current items and accepts title / description, question / answer or post_title / post_content columns, separated by commas, semicolons or tabs. Export includes unsaved edits and opens correctly in Excel.
- New: Duplicate button on every item, and a Duplicate action on the Accordions list that copies a whole accordion into a new draft.
- New: Gutenberg “TCP Accordion (Reusable)” block with sidebar controls: accordion picker, “Edit this accordion” and “Create a new accordion” links, and a “Display for this page only” panel for layout, search, expand/collapse all, deep links and open item.
- New: Gutenberg “TCP Accordion (Inline)” block now has the full accordion settings in its sidebar: theme, layout, open item, close others, search, expand/collapse all, deep links, FAQ schema, icons, title / hover / open colors, content typography, spacing and border.
- New: FAQPage JSON-LD schema generator for search engine rich results (off by default).
- New: Border settings (style, width and color) in one compact row.
- New: Confirmation before removing an item in the editor.
- New (Pro): Tabs layout, which turns into a normal accordion on screens under 768px.
- New (Pro): Horizontal accordion layout with adjustable height.
- New (Pro): Nested accordions. Show another accordion inside any item.
- New (Pro): Groups / category filter tabs above the accordion.
- New (Pro): Dynamic content. Build items from posts, custom post types or an ACF repeater field.
- New (Pro): Analytics. Send Google Analytics events and see which items are opened most.
- New (Pro): Per-item icons and badges such as “New” or “Popular”.
- New (Pro): WooCommerce category rules. Show or hide an accordion by product category.
- New (Pro): Open items on mouse hover and control the animation speed.
- Changed: The 5-item limit is gone. Every accordion can have unlimited items.
- Changed: Close other items, Closeable and Auto-open item are now free, and all 8 themes are free.
- Changed: Pro features now ship in separate Pro-only files. The free version no longer contains locked or disabled premium code, and shows previews of Pro features with an upgrade link instead.
- Improved: WooCommerce product-specific accordion assignment from the product edit screen, and WooCommerce hooks reworked to support custom product tabs and display locations without duplicates.
- Improved: Content rendering now supports YouTube, Vimeo and other iframe embeds (allowfullscreen, loading, referrerpolicy and similar attributes).
- Improved: Query fallbacks and asset loading on single product pages.
- Improved: Screen reader state (aria-expanded) stays correct when items are opened by hover, Expand/Collapse all or a deep link.
- Improved: The icon style setting now shows correctly in the accordion editor’s Live Preview.
- Fixed: The Inline Gutenberg block now loads its CSS and JavaScript on the live site, and older Inline blocks keep working.
Accordions 3.0.9

- Fix: Prevented silent PHP warnings and missing key exceptions during meta array iteration.
- Fix: Fixed asset loading context so Font Awesome icons and responsive layout CSS load seamlessly in both backend previews and frontend page loads.

- Enhanced: Preserved active tab focus in admin metabox across page reloads during post updates with zero content flicker.
- Enhanced: Sanitized and validated all inline style declarations (color hex values, font sizes, paddings) to prevent broken HTML attributes.
- Security: Hardened escaping, input sanitization, and strict post type checks across all admin and shortcode inputs using WordPress Coding Standards.
