AlitaYoko Accordion Boxes stores accordion content as a dedicated WordPress post type. Each box therefore keeps a stable identity independent of its position on a page.<\/p>\n\n
Main features:<\/p>\n\n
[reader_accordion]<\/code>, [reader_accordion_favorites]<\/code> and [reader_accordion_shuffle]<\/code><\/li>\n- Browser-local Read \/ Unread state<\/li>\n
- New and Updated detection based on each reader's local state<\/li>\n
- Browser-local favorites with configurable star or heart controls<\/li>\n
- Native sharing with copy, email and WhatsApp fallbacks<\/li>\n
- Direct links that open the targeted box<\/li>\n
- Personal toolbar with counters, reading progress, filters, search and open\/close actions, including a compact icon mode<\/li>\n
- Optional native WordPress comments per box, including global comment modes<\/li>\n
- Lazy-loaded comment threads and configurable initial comment visibility<\/li>\n
- Flexible styling for borders, shadows, spacing, colors, closed\/open icon directions and behavior<\/li>\n
- Non-destructive import from Lightweight Accordion blocks and shortcodes<\/li>\n
- Automatic usage overview in the WordPress admin<\/li>\n
- English source language with WordPress.org-ready internationalization<\/li>\n
- Independent frontend language setting: Automatic, German or English<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Language behavior<\/h3>\n\n
The WordPress admin follows WordPress and the current user's configured locale.<\/p>\n\n
Reader-facing frontend labels can be configured under Accordion Boxes > Settings > General<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n- Automatic<\/strong>: follows the locale selected by WordPress or a multilingual plugin<\/li>\n
- German<\/strong>: forces only Accordion Boxes frontend labels to German<\/li>\n
- English<\/strong>: forces only Accordion Boxes frontend labels to English<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
The override affects only this plugin. It does not change the locale used by WordPress core, the active theme or other plugins.<\/p>\n\n
For backwards compatibility, installations upgraded from versions before 0.9 keep German frontend labels until the administrator changes this setting. New installations default to Automatic.<\/p>\n\n
Import<\/h3>\n\n
The importer under Accordion Boxes > Import scans saved WordPress content for Lightweight Accordion blocks and the [lightweight-accordion]<\/code> and [lightweight-accordion-nested]<\/code> shortcodes.<\/p>\n\nSource pages are never changed. Identical items already imported are skipped on subsequent imports. Existing Lightweight Accordion anchors are retained as aliases where possible.<\/p>\n\n
Privacy<\/h3>\n\n
Reading state, seen boxes, the New-status baseline and favorites are stored in the reader's browser using localStorage. The plugin does not create server-side reader profiles for these features.<\/p>\n\n
When the Favorites view is opened, only the currently favorited box IDs are sent to a read-only endpoint on the same WordPress installation so published boxes can be rendered. These IDs are not stored server-side by the plugin.<\/p>\n\n
Sharing activity is not logged by the plugin. Native sharing is handed to the browser's Web Share API. Email and WhatsApp are opened only after an explicit reader action.<\/p>\n\n
If comments are enabled, comment data is processed and stored through the normal WordPress comment system. The site's WordPress privacy, cookie, moderation and anti-spam configuration continues to apply.<\/p>\n\n
External services<\/h3>\n\n
Accordion Boxes can optionally offer a WhatsApp action in its share menu. No request to WhatsApp is made merely by loading an Accordion Boxes page.<\/p>\n\n
Only after a reader explicitly chooses WhatsApp<\/strong> does the browser open https:\/\/wa.me\/<\/code> and pass the share text configured by the site owner. Depending on the plugin settings, that text can contain the Accordion Box title, an excerpt and\/or the direct link to the box.<\/p>\n\nThis action uses the external WhatsApp service:<\/p>\n\n
\n- Service: https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/<\/li>\n
- EEA Terms of Service: https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/legal\/terms-of-service-eea<\/li>\n
- EEA Privacy Policy: https:\/\/www.whatsapp.com\/legal\/privacy-policy-eea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Native system sharing, link copying and email sharing do not contact WhatsApp unless the reader selects WhatsApp in the operating system's own share interface.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the plugin ZIP under Plugins > Add Plugin > Upload Plugin, or replace an existing version.<\/li>\n
- Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
- Create at least one category under Accordion Boxes > Categories, or import existing Lightweight Accordion content under Accordion Boxes > Import.<\/li>\n
- Create Accordion Boxes, assign categories and publish them.<\/li>\n
- Edit a page and insert the Accordion Boxes block.<\/li>\n
- Select the desired category in the block settings.<\/li>\n
- Configure global behavior under Accordion Boxes > Settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Shortcode example:<\/p>\n\n
[reader_accordion category=\"electric-cars\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nSupported options:<\/p>\n\n
\ncategory=\"slug\"<\/code><\/li>\nsection=\"slug\"<\/code> (legacy alias)<\/li>\nids=\"12,15,19\"<\/code><\/li>\nlimit=\"-1\"<\/code><\/li>\norderby=\"menu_order|title|date|modified|ID|post__in\"<\/code><\/li>\norder=\"ASC|DESC\"<\/code><\/li>\nshow_category_title=\"true|false\"<\/code><\/li>\nshow_section_title=\"true|false\"<\/code> (legacy alias)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nFavorites view:<\/p>\n\n
[reader_accordion_favorites]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nSupported options:<\/p>\n\n
\ntitle=\"Your Favorites\"<\/code><\/li>\nshow_title=\"true|false\"<\/code><\/li>\nsort=\"favorite_desc|favorite_asc|menu_order|title|date_desc|date_asc\"<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nShuffle view:<\/p>\n\n
[reader_accordion_shuffle categories=\"electric-cars,climate\" count=\"5\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nSupported options:<\/p>\n\n
\ncategories=\"slug-one,slug-two\"<\/code> (leave empty to use all categories)<\/li>\ncount=\"5\"<\/code> (1\u2013100; if fewer boxes match, all matching boxes are shown)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nThe Shuffle block and shortcode choose a fresh random subset on each uncached frontend request. Shuffle shares resolve to a stable normal Accordion Boxes page or, for imported content, the original source page rather than to the random Shuffle page.<\/p>\n\n\n
