Descrição
FAQ Concertina is a plugin for WordPress that enables you to easily display a list of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) on your page or blog post in an attractive and presentable fashion.
This is achieved by using the following simple shortcode in your WordPress page or blog post:
[faq-concertina]
When the list of FAQs appears on your page the answers are initially hidden with only the questions visible. This makes efficient use of the space available on the page and avoids large tracts of text which can be difficult for the reader to take in, especially on small screen devices such as smartphones.
The answer can be made to appear as an expandable section, concertina-style, by clicking on the question. The answer can be hidden again by clicking anywhere on either the question or answer.
With FAQ Concertina you can:
- have any number of FAQs,
- define the order in which the FAQs appear on the page,
- determine whether or not more than one answer can be visible at any one time,
- categorise FAQs so that FAQs from different categories can appear in separate lists, either on the same page or on separate pages,
- customise the appearance of the FAQ listing to fit in with the style of your theme.
Although primarily intended for FAQs FAQ Concertina is, of course, not limited to just FAQs and can be used for any content with a heading where the content is initially hidden and can be expanded by clicking on the heading. Feel free to use your imagination to come up with all kinds of creative uses for FAQ Concertina!

Perguntas frequentes

-

[faq-concertina]

My theme is responsive, will FAQ Concertina work with it?

-
What if I don’t like the included colour schemes?

.css
file for full control over the appearance of your FAQs. As of version 1.2.0 the settings page also includes colorpicker fields to enable you to choose a custom colour scheme. -

Can more than one FAQ be open at a time?

What if I need different FAQs on separate pages?

manual for complete instructions. -
Can I style different categories of FAQs differently?

.css
file. -
