POWER Sec Accordion Module

Helpful Links: Settings that apply to all Section Modules and Settings for Theme Styles.

Intro to Title

The smaller text above the title; can be left blank to hide on the page.

Title

The main heading for the section; can be left blank to hide on the page.

Title - Header Type

Choice of H1, H2, H3, or H4. This is how Google will determine the heading type. This does not control the formatting of the font, there is a separate setting under Style → Title Size to determine how the heading will display.

Description

You can add any amount of body text here or it can be left blank to hide on the page.

Accordion

This is where you will add the items that appear in the accordion.

When you hover over the preset item, you will see two icons appear for actions you can take: edit and clone.

Additionally, there is a + Add link above the first item where additional items can be added.

Tip: Depending on the complexity of the "answers" to your FAQ, it could be better to create the first item and then use the clone function to retain the formatting vs. using the +Add to create a set number of default items. If you have fairly simple Q&A without a lot of formatting, there is also a + Add link within the item settings to easily add additional items one after the other.

Accordion Item(s) → Title

This is where the Question goes if FAQ, otherwise, this is where the title/text goes that you want to display when the item is collapsed. This is a required field because it is used as the name of the item within the module, it can't be blank.

Accordion Item(s) → Description

This is where the Answer goes if FAQ, otherwise, this is where the text goes that you want to display when the item is expanded. The description uses a rich-text editor so you can format the answer as you'd like.

Accordion Item(s) → Open by default

By default, all items will be collapsed. If you want the item (or items) to be expanded on page load, you can check this box.

Accordion Item(s) → Animation

You can also override the default animation settings at the item level.

Layout → Choose Layout

There are two layout options available: 1 column or 2 column.

1 Column Layout:

2 Column Layout:

Layout → Intro Width

This allows you to control the width of the text, with two choices: Narrow or Default.

The module is set to "Narrow" when you add it to the page (this was the original layout prior to adding this choice as a setting). Narrow limits the width of the section text (intro to title, title, and description) within the section.

"Default" allows the text to fill the width of the module; the width is dependent on whether the section is set to "content width" or "full width" in the section settings.

Layout → Centered

By default, the section text (intro to title, title, and description) is left-aligned. If you want the text to be centered, you can check this box.

Layout → Padding Top and Padding Bottom

Choice of Standard, None, Small, Medium, Large, or First Section with Header. Refer to Settings that apply to all Section Modules for more details about these choices.

Style → Color Scheme

Choice of Light or Dark.

Tip: If you change the background color for the module, the definition of Light Color scheme is a light background with dark text and Dark Color scheme is a dark background with light text. Based on your background color, you would need to toggle the color scheme to ensure the text color displays properly and is legible.

Style → Intro Title Style - Text

The Default uses the text style from the Theme Settings based on the color scheme selected.

You can override the Theme Settings by choosing Color or Gradient and completing the corresponding color settings.

Style → Intro Title Style - Background

The Default is transparent, where the text is displayed directly on the background for the module.

You can apply a background Color or Gradient to the text to give the appearance of a highlight behind the text. 

Style → Intro Title Style - Border Radius

When a background color or gradient is applied, you will also have the option to configure the Border Radius in pixels.

If not set, the default Border Radius from your Theme Settings will apply.

Style →  Title Style

The Default uses the text style from the Theme Settings based on the color scheme selected.

You can override the Theme Settings by choosing Color or Gradient and completing the corresponding color settings.

Style →  Title Size

The Default is set to match what you chose for Title Header-Type, what Google sees from an SEO perspective. This setting gives you the option to change the Title Size to H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, or H6 so that the text will be styled based on your Theme Settings for the corresponding header tag chosen here.

Style →  Select Variant

This setting allows you to choose how you'd like the items in the accordion to look. The choices are Text Only, Boxed, Boxed Border, or Boxed Glassmorphism. 

Check out the Configurations below to see how each of these variants can be styled.

Style →  Overwrite Box Color

By default, the collapsed items use the background color established in your theme settings. If you want to change the item colors, you can check this box. This setting does not work for the "Text Only" Style Variant.

Style →  Overwrite Box Color → Box Color Scheme

Once checked, you will have the choice to change between Light or Dark color scheme.

Style →  Overwrite Box Color → Custom Box Background Color

Additionally, you can select a custom color for the item background when collapsed to use in place of the theme default.

The background color of the item on hover can only be set at the global level in the Theme Settings → Color → POWER → Boxed Elements.

Style → Background

Choice of Background Color, Background Image/Video, Background Gradient, or Transparent. Refer to Settings that apply to all Section Modules for more details about these choices.

Tip: When modifying animation settings for an individual section, we recommend opening the preview link in a separate tab so you can easily preview the changes as you make them by refreshing the page.

Anchor Link ID

Set an anchor link for the module. Can be used to create a link directly to that section on the page and/or to include in an on-page menu (like Sticky Sub-Menu) to allow users to jump to that section without scrolling.

Easily add an anchor link to this section, for full instructions refer to Setting up Anchor Links.

Custom Class

Ability to add a Custom Class to use in the child.css for individual customizations.

See full instructions for setting a Custom Class for Section Modules.

Is in Viewport?

Performance setting to determine how the CSS is loaded for the module.

If the module is at the top of the page and located within the viewport of the browser, check this option to ensure the CSS loads on page load.

If the module is outside of the viewport, especially on mobile, uncheck this box so the CSS loads asynchronously.
