    [hnd_faq category="general,technical" orderby="title" order="ASC"]
    [hnd_faq show_titles="false" limit="5"]
    ```

**Shortcode attributes:**

 * `category` — category slug(s), comma-separated (default: all)
 * `orderby` — `menu_order` | `title` | `date` (default: `menu_order`)
 * `order` — `ASC` | `DESC` (default: `ASC`)
 * `limit` — number of items, `-1` for all (default: `-1`)
 * `show_titles` — show category headings: `true` | `false` (default: `true`)
 * `toc` — table of contents position: `none` | `above` | `sidebar` (default: global
   setting)
 * `class` — extra CSS class on the wrapper

**Customisation:**

The plugin uses CSS custom properties that can be overridden in your theme:

    ```
    --hnd-faq-accent, `--hnd-faq-accent-bg`, `--hnd-faq-head-bg`, `--hnd-faq-border-color`, `--hnd-faq-border-radius`, and more. All visual settings are also available from **FAQ  Settings** with a live preview.
    ```

 *   FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

## Installation

 1. Upload the `hnd-faq` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **FAQ  Add New Question** to create your first question.
 4. Assign questions to categories under **FAQ  Categories**.
 5. Add the `[hnd_faq]` shortcode to any page, or insert the **FAQ Accordion** block
    in the block editor or Elementor editor.

## FAQ

### How do I display FAQ questions on a page?

Use the shortcode `[hnd_faq]` or insert the **FAQ Accordion** Gutenberg block. An
Elementor widget is also available.

### Can I show only certain categories?

Yes — use the `category` shortcode attribute with a category slug: `[hnd_faq category
="general"]`. Multiple slugs are comma-separated.

### Does it output Schema.org markup?

Yes. FAQPage JSON-LD is automatically added to every page where the accordion is
rendered. This enables rich results (accordion snippets) in Google Search.

### Is the accordion accessible?

Yes — the accordion uses proper ARIA attributes (`aria-expanded`, `aria-controls`,`
hidden`) and is fully keyboard-navigable.

### How do I change the colours?

Go to **FAQ  Settings  Colors**. A live preview updates as you make changes. You
can also override the CSS custom properties directly in your theme.

### Does it work with WPML or Polylang?

Yes. The plugin registers the FAQ post type and taxonomy with both WPML (via `wpml-
config.xml`) and Polylang (via filters), so all questions and categories are translatable.

### Can I import questions from a CSV file?

Yes. Go to **FAQ  Import / Export** to download a sample CSV, fill it in, and upload
it. Existing questions can be skipped or updated on import.
