Why Do You Need to Add Accordions in WordPress?

Accordions allow you to display more content on your posts and pages without adding long scrolls. If you want to shrink the length of a page, then you should consider adding your content in an accordion element.

You can add vertical or horizontal accordions with the text inside each tab. When users click or mouseover on the tab, it expands to reveal the content.

Example of accordion used on a website

Accordions are most commonly used to add a frequently asked questions (FAQs) section, by displaying questions as tabs. However, you can use them to add any kind of content where you want to save users from scrolling.

    Are there any solutions for adding content other than text in an accordion element? I would like my drop down to also include images/videos.

    As always, thanks for the great content!
