Récemment, l’une de nos utilisatrices/utilisateurs nous a demandé s’il était possible d’ajouter un accordéon FAQ sur son site WordPress. Il existe de nombreuses extensions qui vous permettent d’ajouter une section de Foire aux questions ou FAQ dans WordPress. Dans cet article, nous allons vous afficher comment ajouter un accordéon FAQ jQuery sur votre site WordPress.
Qu’est-ce qu’un accordéon ?
En conception web, l’accordéon est un terme utilisé pour désigner une composition d’interface utilisateur comportant des onglets ou des blocs de contenu qui se replient ou se déplient en fonction de l’interaction de l’utilisateur. Chaque onglet comporte un contenu qui se déploie lorsque l’utilisateur clique sur l’article de menu. En termes simples, c’est comme un menu qui se déplierait lorsque vous cliquez dessus. Nous avons utilisé un effet similaire sur la page de configuration de notre blog WordPress gratuit. Vous trouverez ci-dessous une capture d’écran d’un exemple d’accordéon.

Ajout d’un accordéon FAQ jQuery
Avant de pouvoir ajouter un accordéon FAQ jQuery, vous devez vous assurer que vous disposez d’une section FAQ. Commencez par ajouter une section FAQ en suivant notre tutoriel sur l ‘ajout d’une section FAQ dans WordPress.
Ajouté à cela, nous allons ajouter l’accordéon jQuery FAQ. WordPress est livré avec la bibliothèque jQuery, mais il n’a pas de thèmes jQuery. Nous allons charger cette bibliothèque depuis le CDN de Google et mettre ces scripts en file d’attente dans WordPress. Nous allons également créer un code court qui affiche notre Foire aux questions. Plus important encore, nous ferons tout cela en créant une extension WordPress.
Créez un dossier sur votre ordinateur et nommez-le my-accordion. Ouvrez le Bloc-notes ou tout autre éditeur de texte de votre choix. Créez un fichier appelé my-accordion.php et collez-y ce code :
<?php
/**
Plugin Name: WPBeginner's FAQ Accordion
Description: A jQuery powered Accordion for FAQs based on a tutorial by WPBeginner
Version: 1.0
Author: WPBeginner
Author URI: https://www.wpbeginner.com
License: GPL2
*/
function accordion_shortcode() {
// Registering the scripts and style
wp_register_style('wpb-jquery-ui-style', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9.2/themes/humanity/jquery-ui.css', false, null);
wp_enqueue_style('wpb-jquery-ui-style');
wp_register_script('wpb-custom-js', plugins_url('/accordion.js', __FILE__ ), array('jquery-ui-accordion'), '', true);
wp_enqueue_script('wpb-custom-js');
// Getting FAQs from WordPress FAQ Manager plugin's custom post type questions
$posts = get_posts(array(
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC',
'post_type' => 'question',
));
// Generating Output
$faq .= '<div id="accordion">'; //Open the container
foreach ( $posts as $post ) { // Generate the markup for each Question
$faq .= sprintf(('<h3><a href="">%1$s</a></h3><div>%2$s</div>'),
$post->post_title,
wpautop($post->post_content)
);
}
$faq .= '</div>'; //Close the container
return $faq; //Return the HTML.
}
add_shortcode('faq_accordion', 'accordion_shortcode');
Après avoir enregistré vos modifications dans ce fichier, ouvrez un nouveau fichier vierge. Enregistrez-le sous le nom de accordion.js. Collez ensuite ce code à l’intérieur et enregistrez le fichier :
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#accordion").accordion() ;
})() ;
Notre extension est maintenant prête à être téléversée. Ouvrez votre client FTP et téléversez le dossier my-accordion dans le répertoire /wp-contnt/plugins/ de votre site WordPress. Ensuite, vous devez activer l’extension en allant sur l’écran de votre extension dans la zone d’administration de WordPress.
Ajout d’une page FAQ avec Accordion
Pour afficher ces FAQ en accordéon, vous devez créer une nouvelle page. Allez dans Pages » Ajouter une nouvelle. Donnez un titre à votre page, par exemple FAQ, et dans la zone d’édition de la page, saisissez ce code court :
[faq_accordion]
Enregistrez et publiez votre page, puis prévisualisez-la. Vous verrez vos FAQ affichées dans un joli menu en accordéon.
Modifier le style et les couleurs de votre accordéon
Pour les couleurs et le style, cet accordéon de la FAQ utilise les thèmes jQuery UI hébergés sur Google. Il s’agit essentiellement d’une feuille de style, et si vous préférez, vous pouvez la télécharger et la placer sur votre propre site. Le site de jQuery dispose d’une section consacrée aux thèmes jQuery UI, avec quelques thèmes prêts à l’emploi. Comme vous pouvez le voir, nous avons utilisé le thème de l’humanité dans notre extension. Vous pouvez le remplacer par n’importe lequel des thèmes disponibles tels que smoothness, cupertino, etc. Vous pouvez également créer ou modifier ces thèmes sur Themeroller.
Nous espérons que cet article vous a aidé à ajouter un accordéon jQuery FAQ sur votre site WordPress. Pour les retours et les questions, veuillez laisser un commentaire ci-dessous.

Hello, I installed the Quick and Easy FAQ plugin, and then followed this video. I do not get an accordion FAQ, rather the only thing that shows up is the first FAQ question and answer … and the question is hyperlinked.
Daniel says
Great tutorial!
My debugger complained about undefined variable $faq.
Defined variable at begin of function accordion_shortcode() with $faq = »;
As well my version of FAQ plugin enters the value ‘faq’ instead of ‘query’ into the field post_type of the table postes.
Adjusted line 23:
‘post_type’ => ‘faq’,
Johan Johnsson says
It’s silly that you’ll have us install a plugin for a FAQ page and follow your previous tutorial on how to make that FAQ page, and then copy (essentially download) the plugin you made for this tutorial. So we’re essentially downloading 2 already finished plugins.
I don’t think people come here to download 2 plugins, but rather to LEARN how to make a custom accordion menu of their own. I don’t see why I should follow this « how to guide » when I can just download some other WP plugin that does the same job, if not better.
And the fact that this plugin relies on the FAQ plugin seems quite unnecessary. Why didn’t you make a stand-alone plugin and make it dynamic? So you can use it for any content on any page.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Johan,
Most our users are beginners who would find it difficult to copy paste code. This is why we made it into a plugin so that users can download and install it. If you would like to use the code method, then the code is here for you to study and use it in your theme or a site-specific plugin. Let’s us know if you need any help with that.

How do I make it so that when I click the title it collapses – I see that it collapses when you click another part of the accordian but I am looking for the function to collapse when each title is clicked.
christina says
thanks for the tutorial. I am very much new to coding and webpage design. I have followed instructions to pasting the codes to my notepad on my mac. Is there a different way to save the file other than in notepad as a php or js file into the folder? Also, could you please let me know step by step how to open FTP client (what is it btw?) and how to upload my-accordian folder to /wp-contnt/plugins/directory to WP website. Thanks so much.
christina says
when I save the textedit file it saves as my-accordion.php.rtf. Is that correct?
WPBeginner Support says
No. You need to save it as my-accordion.php Windows programs sometimes add this extension to your text file. Try using Save File As option.

WPBeginner Support says
On Mac you have a program called TextEdit. For FTP see our guide on how to use FTP to upload WordPress files.

I have activated this plugins successfully, but it is not working. Displaying nothing in my FAQs Page.
WPBeginner Staff says
The code screenshot you shared, does not look like the code we have shared above. However, the code in screenshot has HTML tags that shouldn’t be there. It should be like this:
‘posts_per_page’ => ’10’,
Stefan 13 says
This is pretty weird. Your comments had me baffled, as I was clearly seeing the code right there on my screen. I then realised that all those currency converter tags came from another one of my Firefox plugins, which dynamically adds a context menu to numbers in web pages – hence the source looked different.
Thanks for your help!
Stefan 13 says
When I try to activate the plugin in WP 4.1, I get this error message:
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<' in /home2/laurepc3/public_html/shala/wp-content/plugins/my-accordion/my-accordion.php on line 20
Any ideas that may help with this?
WPBeginner Staff says
The code you pasted has an unexpected character 10,
Make sure posts_per_page is enclosed in single quotes. Make sure there is an equals sign before greater than sign and make sure there is a comma at the end of the line.
Guest says
I don’t have that on line 20. What I can see on line 20 in the post above and in my file is this:
‘posts_per_page’ => 10,
Screen shot attached as well.
So does the post above display incorrect file content?
Stefan 13 says
The code in my file does not look like what you posted for line 20, but it’s the same code as is above:
‘posts_per_page’ => 10,
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’,
Does that mean that the code in the article is out-of-date?
Thanks for clarifying!

Thank you for this tutorial! It’s really help with my problem!
I want to put topics like this: Topic « Events »: a accordion box and « Past Events »: another accordion box with topic Past Events. I tried the shortcode [faq_accordion + topic= »events »] but nothing happened. What can I do? Thank you very much!!!

What’s the best way of getting the CSS to work? I have a child theme with my custom css code. Do I need to do anything in that file since I don’t see any of the Google css.
WPBeginner Support says
Chris the Google CSS is queued and only fetched when your FAQ accordion is displayed. Open the page containing your FAQ Accordion and right click then select View Source. On the view source page look for
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.9.2/themes/humanity/jquery-ui.cssif it is there then this means you have successfully loaded CSS theme.Administrateur
Chris S. says
I am able to get your plugin to work properly with the FAQ Manager but had some questions. It will only display 10 of the FAQs (which I presume is a default #). If I use the built-in shortcode that comes with the FAQ Manager plugin I am able to get the full list to display
To display ALL: place [faq limit= »-1″] on a post / page
Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this?
Also, the FAQ manager allows for creating different lists by topic. Would there be a simple way to modify your plugin to make use of this?
List all from a single FAQ topic category: place [faq faq_topic= »topic-slug »] on a post / page
Great work otherwise!
WPBeginner Support says
To display FAQs with topics FAQ Manager uses these parameters in the shortcode:
[faq faq_topic="topic-slug"][faq limit= »-1″] is quite self explanatory. It will display all FAQ.
However, if you want to display more FAQ’s in the accordion you need to modify the query parameter in WPBeginner’s FAQ Accordion plugin, like this:
1-click Use in WordPress

Great- thanks for your help with this!
Garrett says
This isn’t working for me quite as intended. Plugin activates successfully and the shortcode is being processed, but here’s what the output looks like…
I opted to use the FAQ manager plugin with your code in order to fix the hideous styling the plugin spits out.
But when it’s all said and done, here’s what it looks like. Any tips?

It seems the list is not inheriting any styling info from jquery-ui.css, though I did verify that a link file to jquery-ui.css IS present on the page.
Line where jquery-ui.css is included:
Exploring CSS rules:
How can this be?
Thank you!

Try switching to a default WordPress theme to see if it works then.

Richard Morrison says
This has broken following the latest WordPress Update. I can no longer get the accordion to display. Shortcode now only displays the text from FAQ manager.
Piet says
line 20 of your my-accordion.php file reads: ‘numberposts’
that function has been deprecated since…. a very long time.
as you guys are in the business of giving tutorials to beginners, can you at least get the functions right?
obviously this should be ‘posts_per_page’

I would appreciate some help with this. I am attempting to install on a 3.5.2 on a network site. Network Admin has the Plugin listed and Network Activated.
However it is not listed in the sub-sites.
Has this been tested with Network sites yet? It looks like just what is needed. Thanks for all your efforts with WPBEGINNER.
Thanks.

This sounds like a support question that needs to be posted on the plugin forum.

Hi,
I made my-accordion.php and accordion.js, uploaded them and everything, but still I can’t see the plugin in the list of plugins. What went wrong?
Thanks,

You forgot include the script file « accordion.js » …
Editorial Staff says
We shared the accordion.js code in there. It is also being included using enqueue script.

Sorry, but I find the link to the file

There is no link to the file. We have shared the code that you need to paste in a new file that you will create called accordion.js

Sorry, my bad
I didn’t read carefully. Now everything works as expected
