Overview Accordion Open

Multiple related links can be attached to a list of links using the drop down links.

Since the drop down links shouldn’t be in tabs, we’ve provided an example below. If you’re on a mobile device, you’ll find the example at the bottom of this page.

How-To Accordion Closed

The drop down links feature requires a Heading 4 (H4) title for the list and at least two links.

  1. Select drop down links. The shortcode appears in the text editor.
  2. Insert your cursor between the shortcode bookends.
  3. Enter Heading 4 (H4) text for the title.
  4. Add the text for the link in Paragraph style, sentence case.
  5. Select all of the text and click the hyperlink button.
  6. Enter the URL for the link.
  7. Move to the next line and repeat as necessary.

Troubleshooting Accordion Closed

Check the following list if your drop down links are not appearing or functioning as they should:

  • Ensure you used H4 for the title and Paragraph style for each link
  • Did you add a full URL for each link?
  • Ensure that the text for your shortcode is complete, all bookends are present, and the closing bookends contain a forward slash.
