  • Pagination for the panels
  • Retina support
  • Lazy loading for images

  • Lightbox integration
  • Swap image when the panel is opened
  • Clean and intuitive admin interface
  • Preview grid accordions directly in the admin area
  • Drag and drop panel sorting
  • Publish grid accordions in any post (including pages and custom post types), in PHP code, and widget areas
  • Caching system for quick loading times
  • Optimized file loading. The JavaScript and CSS files are loaded only in pages where there are grid accordions
  • Load images (e.g., featured images) and content dynamically, from posts (including custom post types), WordPress galleries and Flickr
  • Action and filter hooks to add to the functionality of the plugin
  • Import and export grid accordions

These videos demonstrate the full capabilities of the plugin.

Premium Add-ons allow you to further extend the functionality of the grid accordion:

  • Custom CSS and JavaScript: Allows you to add custom CSS and JavaScript code to your grid accordions in a syntax highlighting code editor. It also features a revisions system that will backup all your code edits, allow you to compare between multiple revisions and restore a certain revision.
  • Revisions: Automatically stores a record of each edit/update of your accordions, for comparison or backup purposes. Each accordion will have its own list of revisions, allowing you to easily preview a revision, analyze its settings, compare it to other revisions or restore it.
