20263 releases

  1. Lightweight Accordion 1.8.0Latest

    • New ready-made block patterns under Accordions in the inserter’s Patterns tab: an FAQ section (with FAQ schema), an accordion group that keeps one section open at a time, and bordered accordions.
    • Fixed an accordion nested inside a grouped accordion joining the outer group, which made opening it close its own parent.
    • Fixed duplicated or copy-pasted accordion groups (or a pattern inserted twice) closing each other. Each group now gets a unique name on the page.
    • Fixed floated images inside an open accordion being cut off at the bottom (or overlapping the next accordion in some browsers).
    • Fixed the border settings added in 1.7.0 never appearing. The block now has working border controls (radius, color, width, style) in the Styles panel when the theme supports them.
    • Fixed the stylesheet loading on every page on classic themes running WordPress 6.6 to 6.8. It now loads only on pages that show an accordion, in the head for accordions in the post content.
    • Fixed shortcode accordions in widgets, page builders and other places outside the post content showing unstyled.
    • Fixed accordion_open="false" and bordered="false" in the shortcode turning those options on.
    • Fixed the block’s HTML anchor being printed twice on WordPress 7.0 and newer.
    • FAQ schema: question names no longer contain HTML entities like &, each question is listed once even if the theme renders the content twice, and accordions without a title are skipped.
    • The arrow and icons now match the 18px title text instead of the theme’s base font size, and the block’s font size setting reaches the title even when the theme styles summary text.
    • Accordions next to a floated image now sit beside it as one box instead of running underneath it.
    • Title colors are now checked to be a single CSS color value, so the color settings can’t be used to add other CSS.
    • Removed the Accordion Group block’s HTML anchor field, which never worked.
    • Block registration uses the current editor_script_handles and editor_style_handles arguments.

  2. Lightweight Accordion 1.7.1

    • Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
    • Fixed the accordion block’s settings running together with no spacing in the editor sidebar on WordPress 7.0 and newer.
    • The block editor script now loads its dependencies and version from the generated asset file, which includes the React JSX runtime the compiled script relies on.
    • Block editor strings are now translatable (text domain added and script translations registered).
    • FAQ schema answers no longer include stray whitespace left behind by block markup.
    • Added an FAQ entry with a snippet for an “Expand all / Collapse all” button.
    • Minimum required WordPress version is now 6.6, which introduced the React JSX runtime used by the block editor script.

  3. Lightweight Accordion 1.7.0

    • Smooth open/close animation using modern CSS (zero JavaScript, progressive enhancement in supporting browsers, respects reduced motion preference).
    • Native block support panels on the accordion block: spacing (margin & padding), typography (font size & line height), and border (radius, color, width).
    • WordPress 7.0 compatibility: blocks upgraded to Block API version 3 for the iframed editor, with editor styles now loading inside the editor canvas.
    • Deleting the last accordion in a group now removes the empty group instead of leaving a leftover box in the editor.
    • Removed a deprecated block attribute (source: children) flagged by the WordPress plugin checker.
    • Minimum required WordPress version is now 5.9 (the block editor integration uses APIs introduced there).
    • Tested up to WordPress 7.0.
    • New icon options: chevron, plus/minus, or none, with optional right alignment. Available in the block settings and via the icon and icon_position shortcode attributes.
    • Accordions now automatically open when targeted by a URL hash, so anchor deep links no longer land on a closed accordion. Disable with the lightweight_accordion_anchor_script filter.
