Hey Ben,
Thank you for your response.
I did leave the text area blank as I stated before; sorry if I wasn’t clear on which text area I left blank, but I meant to say, I left the “active area” section blank. and as I also show, the example page, also shows the accordion as open.
I recently updated wordpress but don’t think that should have an effect on the accordion.
Please read, carefully, the steps I took and take a look at the examples I’ve given.
Again, I did leave the “active area” text box blank, not specifying any of the sections of the accordion to be open, and it still loads as being open when I view it on the site.
