Can't collapse FAQ's

You can change the core code (which will be overwritten by updates) to fix this. It takes two seconds. Hopefully the plugin author will make this quick fix and push out an update.

File: hs-simple-faq.php
Change line ~188 from:
echo ‘<input id=”ac-‘ . $i . ‘” name=”accordion-1″ type=”radio” />’;

to :
echo ‘<input id=”ac-‘ . $i . ‘” name=”accordion-1″ type=”checkbox” />’;

The checkbox allows you to select and deselect, radio buttons don’t.

You also need to edit this file (Has 2 spots): front-end.php
With the same changes…

Ok that is strange as I updated it with only the one change and it did not work. Then I added the additional changes and it worked fine.

I modified front-end.php and it works now. I hope the author will implement it and the plugin will be more usable.

<?php

    $i = 1;

    //Get Terms

    $terms = get_terms("hs_faq_taxomomy");

    $count = count($terms);

    if ($count > 0) { 

	echo '<section class="hs-faq-container">';

        foreach ($terms as $term) {

            echo '<div>';

            echo '<input id="ac-' . $i . '" name="accordion-1" type="radio" />';

            echo '<label for="ac-' . $i . '">' . $term->name . '</label>';

I also modified a little hs-simple-faq.php but it should work with default one too. In case you need it here is it:
