Excellent solution for FAQs

I used this block with some custom CSS styling to create a responsive frequently asked questions area of a site.

easy to use

Nice block editor integration, super easy to use. I like the opportunity to pick different headline types for each accordeon block what helps doing SEO. This topic was modified 3 years, 5 mont

Works well and easily customizable with CSS

Does the job quite well. Simple and straight forward. However, it would be nice to smooth the movement (there’s some kind of small jump at the end of the opening and the beginning of the closing)

Doesn’t work

Tried to insert shortcodes into Blocks and Contact Form 7 (have shortcode enable installed). Nothing shows up anywhere. Zippo, nada.

No support

I am waiting for a support answer, but do not receive any. So how on earth can anyone recommend the company, software or anything from MEKS? This topic was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by Si
