In the Easy Accordion Pro plugin, the Accordion Settings tab is where you define the core behavior, layout, and functional interactions of your accordion group.

Based on the official documentation and common layout options, here is a breakdown of the primary configuration settings available:

1. Layouts and Theme Selection:

Choose Accordion Layout:

You can choose between different structural orientations, typically Vertical, Horizontal, or Multicolumn layouts.

• Also, you can set the accordion Interaction & Activator Events from this panel, allowing you to determine how a user triggers the accordion to open or close:
• Space Between: Adjust the space between the accordion items from here.

Accordion Interactions:

• Activator Event: You can set the trigger to Click (default), Mouseover (opens when hovering), or AutoPlay (items expand sequentially on their own).
• Auto-close On Mouseout: If using the Mouseover event, this setting allows the accordion item to automatically close when the user moves their cursor away from it.
• Accordion Mode (Initial Display): Controls how the accordion looks when the page first loads. Options include:
• First Open: Only the first item is expanded.
• All Open: All items are expanded by default.
• All Folded: All items are closed.
• Custom Open: Set the custom accordion to be opened.

Fixed Content Height: You can set a maximum height for the description area. If the content exceeds this height, a vertical scrollbar will appear within that specific accordion item.

Advanced Functional Settings:

• Multiple Opening Together: When set to ON, users can keep multiple accordion panels open at the same time. If set to OFF, opening a new item will automatically close the previously opened one.
• FAQ Search: Add a real-time search field above the accordion, and enable FAQ auto-suggest, allowing users to filter through specific questions instantly.
• Expand/Collapse All Button: Add a toggle button that allows users to expand or collapse every item in the accordion group with a single click.

• Accordion Item to URL: Use this toggle to enable a URL for each accordion item.
• Scroll to Active Item: It automatically scrolls the page to align the expanded accordion header with the top of the viewport, which is highly useful for long FAQ lists.
• SEO Schema Markup: Enabling this option adds structured FAQ schema to your accordion, helping search engines like Google display your questions and answers directly in search results as rich snippets.
• Preloader: Display a loading image to prevent “page jerking” while the accordion content is being rendered in the background.

Select Accordion Theme:

It offers over 17+ pre-designed accordion themes. Each theme comes with unique styling, and a preview is usually visible directly below the selection to help you visualize the result.
