Ethos theme

I have searched far and wide as to how to code the Accordion Menu for video.
I have the shortcode in from the shortcode page for it but I do not know what to put where.

[accordion id="my-accordion"] [accordion_item title="Accordion Title" parent_id="my-accordion"]Your text here[/accordion_item] [accordion_item title="Accordion Title" parent_id="my-accordion" open="true"]Your second accordion text[/accordion_item] [accordion_item title="Accordion Title" parent_id="my-accordion"]Your third accordion text[/accordion_item] [/accordion]

[accordion] [accordion_item title="Accordion Title"]Your text here[/accordion_item] [accordion_item title="Accordion Title" open="true"]Your second accordion text[/accordion_item] [accordion_item title="Accordion Title"]Your third accordion text[/accordion_item] [/accordion]

All these first second third text enters places do not tell me what to put into them, where to place the youtube iframe to the video url, which one it for the title of the video, and it is in 2 columns for the same thing(?)
I am totally confused and.

There is no instruction for inserting video into Accordion I could find.
Can anyone help me with this? What goes where?

Many thank yous.

Also, how can the menu be stopped from flying open when the page is loaded instead of waiting until it is clicked on?

Thank you,

Hi Jann,

Thanks for writing in! You ca njust place your content (video embed or shortcode) within the content area that you already did for the first item I can see. So I am not sure what’s the issue here that you are facing.

About the other issue – If you use shortcode then if you use open=”true” then it will be open by default.

However I would suggest you to use it from the Cornerstone element so that you can manage these things easily – http://prntscr.com/9ceo2c and http://prntscr.com/9ceo6y

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

I can not use Cornerstone, it has been disabled on my site as it has caused conflicts that took out my entire site twice now.
My hosting programmers had to backdoor go in and restore my site and even one of the staff here from THEMECO went in once and salvaged it and told me not to activate cornerstone.
Any other options?
What would happen if I put in false instead of open?

My confusion is the top line of code was easy to understand. 1 text input was the url of youtube video the 2nd was the title.
In the block of 2 under it there is an asking input of 2 for each line to enter.

[accordion id="my-accordion"] [accordion_item title="Accordion Title" parent_id="my-accordion"]Your text here[/accordion_item]

(Separating the block of code under line 1)

[accordion_item title="Accordion Title" parent_id="my-accordion" open="true"]Your second accordion text[/accordion_item]

[accordion_item title="Accordion Title" parent_id="my-accordion"]Your third accordion text[/accordion_item] [/accordion]

If I understand this correctly it is designating /calling for the youtube url only.
Is that correct?

video 1 video 2 video 3

I am a novice so please be patient with my comprehensive limitations.
You are a professional and this is all child’s play for you but for me it is a major challenge.
Understanding how things work is so crucial to know.

I am grateful for any guidance you can and will allow me to have.

Blessings,
Jann
