* Is there a way to collapse all content in the accordion by default?

* Great plugin – but I’m really trying to do the same – anyone have luck with this?
* Using [accordions active=0] just doesn’t do anything.
* Thanks for any ideas!

* For this plugin to show all of the accordion items as collapsed when the page
first renders you need to make a couple changes to the plugin code. I had the
same issue as you guys for about an hour today. Open your plugins directory and
then open the accordion-shortcode directory, and then finally open accordion-
shortcode.php.
* Look for this line, its line 53 in my editor:
`$attr['active'] = (int)$attr['
active'];`
* Change it to:
`$attr['active'] = (bool)$attr['active'];`
* Then look for this line, its line 61 in my editor:
`'active' => 0,`
* Change it to:
`'active' => false,`
* Then on your accordion, make sure you set the shortcode to:
`[accordions collapsible
=true]`
* This just worked for me, hope it helps.

* Found an easier workaround: Use a very large value for `active`:
* `[accordions active=100 collapsible=true]`

* For me, -1 expands the last accordion.
* The only thing that works for me is:
* `[accordions active=100 collapsible=true]`
* (assuming you have fewer than 100 accordions)

* I am also trying to have all collapsed when the page is loaded, but the script
must have been edited, because I can’t find
* `$attr['active'] = (int)$attr['active'];`
* on line 53, which now is showing:
* `'class' => null,`
* akhayyat’s workaround did NOT work for me.
* Can anybody help, please?

* In version Version: 1.2.1 I can find this on line 101-130:
* ```
public static function accordions_shortcode( $atts, $content ) {
self::$add_script = true;
if( is_string($atts) )
$atts = array();
$attr['autoHeight'] = self::eval_bool( $atts['autoheight'] );
$attr['disabled'] = self::eval_bool( $atts['disabled'] );
$attr['active'] = (int)$atts['active'];
$attr['clearStyle'] = self::eval_bool( $atts['clearstyle']);
$attr['collapsible']= self::eval_bool( $atts['collapsible']);
$attr['fillSpace'] = self::eval_bool( $atts['fillspace']);
$query_atts = shortcode_atts( array(
'autoHeight' => false,
'disabled' => false,
'active' => 0,
'animated' => 'slide',
'clearStyle' => false,
'collapsible' => false,
'event' => 'click',
'fillSpace' => false
), $attr);
$id = "random-accordion-id-".rand(0,1000);
$content = str_replace( "]
","]", ( substr( $content, 0 , 6 ) == "
" ? substr( $content, 6 ): $content ) );
self::$shortcode_js_data[$id] = $query_atts;
return str_replace("\r\n", '', ''.do_shortcode( $content ).'
');
```
* Maybe it’s somewhere around here I need to change the script to laod collapsed?

* [@peterkopi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterkopi/) –
* Change your line 109 to `$attr['active'] = (bool)$attr['active'];`
* Then change your line 117 to `'active' => false,`
* And Finally, display your accordion with `[accordions collapsible=true]` as the
opening shortcode. Let me know if this works, I haven’t used this plugin for
quite some time.
