Specific item opened

By default, the first tab/accordion in a set will be the open one.

You can also set any other tab/accordion to be the default open tab instead by adding the open attribute to that tab's tag and give it the value true, like:

{tab title="This tab is now opened by default!" open="true"}

This tab is now opened by default!

Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa.

Sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.

{accordion title="This accordion is now opened by default!" open="true"}

This accordion is now opened by default!

Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa.

Sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.

Random item opened PRO

With the Pro version, you also have the ability to make a different tab/accordion open randomly every time the page is refreshed. This would allow showing different content when the page is revisited.

You can do so by placing an open="random" parameter to the first tab/accordion in the set, like:

{tab title="First Tab" open="random"}
...
{tab title="Second Tab"}
...
{/tabs}

First Tab

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Try refreshing this page and see the opened tab in this set being random every time.

All items closed

You can also decide to have no tab/accordion opened at all when you first load the page, by placing an open="false" parameter to the first tab/accordion in the set, like:

{tab title="First Tab" open="false"}
...
{tab title="Second Tab"}
...
{/tabs}
{accordion title="First Tab" open="false"}
...
{accordion title="Second Tab"}
...
{/accordions}

Independent accordions

You can make accordions independent by simply making each accordion an own set. This method can be used for stuff like FAQ pages where you want to be able to have multiple accordions open at the same time.

If you have set up the page scrolling in the Tabs & Accordions plugin settings, you can add the scroll="false" attribute to stop the page from scrolling to the accordions when you click to open them.
