Accordion β
Organize content into expandable sections for improved readability.
The Accordion block lets you stack content into collapsible panels, so visitors can expand only the sections they care about. It is perfect for FAQs, product specs, documentation and any long-form content you want to keep tidy. Each panel is a separate Accordion Item child block.
Accordion is a dynamic block β its final markup is rendered by PHP on the front end.

See it in action β

When to use it β
- To build FAQ sections where each question expands to reveal its answer.
- To condense long content (specs, policies, instructions) into scannable sections.
- Anywhere you want visitors to reveal content on demand instead of scrolling past it.
How to add it β
- Click the + block inserter in the editor.
- Search for Accordion and select it.
- The block starts with one or more Accordion Item panels β edit the title and content of each.
- Use the inserter inside the Accordion to add more items.

Settings β
Select the Accordion and open the inspector. Settings are split across two tabs: General (specific to this block) and Advanced (shared by all Styble blocks).
General tab β
Each General-tab panel has Settings and Style sub-tabs. The structural controls live under Settings.

Styling
The Style sub-tab inside each panel controls colors, typography, backgrounds and spacing. These pull from your Global Settings tokens so the accordion stays on-brand.
Advanced tab β
The Advanced tab is shared by every Styble block. See Advanced settings.
Accordion Item (child block) β
Accordion Item β Single accordion / FAQ item. This is the panel inside an Accordion. It can only be placed inside a parent Accordion block, and it holds your content as inner blocks.
In the editor you edit the panel directly:
- Title β type the panel heading ("Add your accordion title here").
- Content β add any blocks inside the panel ("Add accordion contentβ¦").
- Replace Icon β swap the title's featured icon from the item toolbar.
General tab β
Accordion Item β
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Keep This Item Open | Force this specific item to stay open. Shown only when the parent's Initial Accordion Display is set to the default mode. |
Advanced tab β
See Advanced settings.
Nesting & relationships β
- Accordion is the parent; Accordion Item blocks live directly inside it.
- An Accordion Item cannot be used on its own β it only appears inside an Accordion.
- Each item can contain any blocks (paragraphs, images, lists, other Styble blocks).
- Supports wide and full width alignment from the block toolbar.
Tips & common patterns β
- For an FAQ, set Activator Event to On Click and leave Multiple Open Together off so only one answer shows at a time.
- Use Keep This Item Open on your most important item so visitors see it first.
- Choose Collapse Icon: Rotation with a 180Β° Scale for the classic chevron flip.
- Define colors and typography in Global Settings so every Accordion matches your theme.
