# Change defaults for options?

 * Just curious if there’s a way to change the defaults when adding a new accordion.
   I’d like the clicktoclose to default to being checked so my client has that consistent
   behavior across all accordions on their site.
 * Thanks!

 * You definitely can. Add this to your theme.php file:
 *     ```
       add_filter('shortcode_atts_accordion', 'set_accordion_shortcode_defaults', 10, 3);
       function set_accordion_shortcode_defaults($atts) {
           // Override the openfirst setting here
           $atts['clicktoclose'] = true;
           return $atts;
       }
       ```
   
 * It won’t actually appear checked in the UI, but should work on the actual site.
