    Hi. I am still developing my site on my local drive, so not accessible online. My issue is:

    I put the following shortcode on my homepage, and it works fine:

    <div class="one-half first">[faq faq_tag="col1"]</div>
<div class="one-half">[faq faq_tag="col2"]</div>

    – i.e. i get two columns of FAQ (tags col1, col2) and they are sorted as in the settings, and they expand/collapse as specified in the settings. Good, that’s what I want.

    But I decided to put my FAQs onto a separate page. And when I paste the exact same shortcode into a new page, the FAQs don’t expand/collapse (they’re links), they are unsorted, and they appear in a single column. I paste it back into the home page, and it’s working again. Don’t know what’s going on!

    Any ideas?

    OK, I found out what was happening. The title of the new page was “FAQs”, with the slug “faqs”. It turned out that this slug is taken up by the plugin as the archive listing for the FAQs. So I changed the slug of the page to just “faq” and it works fine now.
