 * The accordion shortcode is not being recognized.
    Entering the follow test code
   on the TEXT tab of the wordpress page: [accordion] [accordion-item title=”Title
   of accordion item”]Drop-down content goes here.[/accordion-item] [accordion-item
   title=”Second accordion item”]Drop-down content goes here.[/accordion-item] [/
   accordion]
 * Results in display:
    [accordion-item title=”Title of accordion item”]Drop-down
   content goes here.[/accordion-item] [accordion-item title=”Second accordion item”]
   Drop-down content goes here.[/accordion-item]
 * Using WP 3.9, Twenty-Fourteen theme, plug-in is ACTIVE.
 * Note: similar plug-in shortcodes do work.

 * I’ve just tested the plugin with a clean install of WordPress 3.9 in the Twenty-
   Fourteen theme and everything is working perfectly for me. This is likely a conflict
   with another plugin. Please try deactivating all your plugins (except this one)
   and see if the issue persists. If that solves it, you’ll just need to figure 
   out exactly which plugin is conflicting by reactivating your plugins one at a
   time.
 * I assume you haven’t made any modifications to the Twenty-Fourteen theme code?
