# Compatibility mode problem

 * I believe I have a conflict between plugins; Accordion Shortcodes and The Events
   Calendar (the latter, installed last appears to break accordion function).
 * So I have set compatibility mode for Accordion Shortcodes but cannot get a result.
 * What i’ve done is: added to wp-config.php
 *     ```
       /*NIL - added compatibility mode script for Accordion Shortcodes plugin. */
       define('AS_COMPATIBILITY', true);
   
       /**
        * WordPress Database Table prefix.
       ```
   
 * Changed my accordion code to:
    `[as-accordion clicktoclose=”true” openfirst=”
   false” openall=”false” scroll=”30″] [as-accordion-item title=”AUSTRIA” id=”Austria”
   class=”Austria”] …. [/as-accordion-item] [/as-accordion]
 * Plus added as- in front of all my css, but still the accordion is produced on
   page but is not ‘active’ (all accordion-items are open).
 * The site is in local dev at the moment. Could you kindly help with just these
   details?

 * My understanding was that The Events Calendar doesn’t include an `accordion` 
   shortcode. Is that not the case? Are you seeing any console errors?

 * Oh right. Sorry, I assumed since Accordion Shortcodes (AS) stopped functioning
   directly after installing The Events Calendar plugin – no other changes.
    For
   my previous AS code example the produced html is:
 *     ```
       <div id="accordion-1" class="accordion no-js" role="tablist">
       <h3 id="Austria" class="accordion-title Austria" role="tab" aria-controls="content-Austria" aria-selected="false" aria-expanded="false">AUSTRIA</h3><div id="content-Austria" class="accordion-content" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="Austria" aria-hidden="true">
       ```
   
 * Where would console errors show?
 * Disabling The Events Calendar plugin did not bring back functionality…
    Will 
   have to do more investigation. Thanks.
