 * My accordions no longer collapse.
 * The error regards this section of the js code, esp the </p><p> area (line175):
   
   class=”post-entry”><p><script>/*<![CDATA[*/jQuery(document).ready(function($){
   </p><p>$(“#accordions-1710.accordions”).accordion({collapsible:true,heightStyle:”
   content”,animated:
 * Running WP version 4.2.2 and Accordions version 2.0.3
 * I should add that I had to use php within a page b/se the shortcode would not
   work – it used to work, but won’t now (i deactivated all plugins to test and 
   it persisted). I am using insert php plugin to accomplish this. The code is formatted
   this way:
 * [insert_php]
    echo do_shortcode(“[accordions id=’1710′]”); [/insert_php]

 * This might be wpautop(); issue
    I can see `<p>` inside scripts tags.
 * Can you please make demo page and paste the shortcode only inside content `[accordions
   id='1710']` and see the result.
 * Best Regards
