Hi @maxl, I tried this solution and it worked half ways.
Do I need to change only “toggleSection”, “toggleContent”, “toggleButton” every time they appear or other properties like “sectionHeight”, “toggleContentTop2” …?

Hi @Finge,

what i did:

  1. Use the existing script in a Javascript TAB (CollapseJS_1)

  2. Set the variables accordingly within the script to your wishes “#lp-pom-…”

var toggleSection = (’#lp-pom-block-99’); var toggleContent = ("#lp-pom-box-100");
var toggleButton = $("#lp-pom-button-103")

  1. Add another Javascript TAB (CollapseJS_2)

  2. Paste the code of CollapseJS_1 there

  3. Replace the variable itself in the whole script - not only at the top…!
    var toggleSection2 = …;
    var toggleContent2 = …;
    var toggleButton2 = …;

  4. Set the variables to the desired part of your page

Hi @maxl - what do you mean by “in the whole script”. Where else to change variables?

Hey @maxl, would you be able to share what parts need edited if there’s more than one drop down? I can’t seem to get it to work properly.

Yes, there is. Just copy the script in another Javascript section. Afterwards you need to replace the variable names for section, box and button -> not only at the top, but also in the whole script!
E.g.:

var toggleSection2 = $(’#lp-pom-block-99’);

var toggleContent2 = $("#lp-pom-box-100");

var toggleButton2 = $("#lp-pom-button-103");

Hi, @Noah

Are there any updates on this script?
I need to use this script twice in the same page. Is there any way?

Thanks!

Hey,
I know that this script only works for one section per page, but can it be adjusted to work for more sections/boxes? I’d like to create a collapsible FAQ section.

M

Yeah, that worked for what I needed.

Hi @Mercedes_Maynard -

You could maybe try an accordion section?
Something like this could work for what you are trying to create: https://codepen.io/abergin/pen/ihlDf

Hey @Mercedes_Maynard, sorry I don’t have a solution for this at the moment. This workaround can only be used for one section on a page.

@Noah do you know any way around this?

Hey there, I’m trying to create an FAQ section where each question has a section that opens below it if you click the + button, with this code I can only open the most recently added question no matter what button I click on.

If I have four questions then the fourth one is the only one that opens even if I click on the button for the first question. Same thing if I only have two questions. Why is this happening and how do I get around it?

Hey, does anybody know if there’s a way to hide a “read more” button once you click on it and displays the collapsible section? Thanks!

Hey I’m having an issue where the positioning of all my elements is completely broken on mobile after implementing this code. Making this code unusable for me as mobile optimization is more important. However, if anyone has a fix it would be greatly appreciated

Hello! I’m having an issue where the reveal button is trying to load an /undefined link, which takes me to a 404 page. I have a sneaking suspicion that this has to do with the fact that we’re using the Wordpress plugin, but I’m not 100% sure.

I’ve tried putting this in the “link” area on the button:
javascript:void(0)

And our developer tried tweaking the code to tell it “HEY, IGNORE THIS LINK,” but none of it worked.

Any ideas?

Hello, does this script work for more than one section on the page? I’m having trouble getting used that way.
I only tried one section but still overpowers me from the down section. Does anyone know how to help?

Hey fam!

Can someone help me see what I did wrong? http://unbouncepages.com/test-awingu-adwords/

The script works fine but when the section is expanded, it “runs-through” the content in the next section…

Thanks!

Hi,

I am having issues implementing the script. what step am I missing?

Hi @daneloctober,

Your scripts load only 1 time when the page itself loads.

Adjusting your browser’s viewable area won’t reload the page.
You have to either adjust AND reload the page or better yet test the mobile view on a real mobile device.

Best,
Hristian

Okay, so I just realized the script works like this:

You can’t use it for both views. Meaning, the function on load optimizes for the view that it’s currently in. If you load in on mobile, it will look good on mobile only. If you load it on desktop, it’s optimized for desktop only. Whew. Good thing I realized that early. >_<

Can someone help me with my setup? It’s weird, but what happens is, depending on what view I’m currently on when I save the page (desktop or mobile), that view will look good, and the other view will look weird. I’m not sure why that happens, but that’s what happens. 😦

Hi, I’m having this issue with the background! Before the “Locations & Providers” button is clicked you can see the entire page background is gray, which is what I want. But when you click the button to reveal the hidden page section, the background turns white part way down the page as you can see in the 2nd screenshot. Also, when you toggle the button, the white stays. Does anyone have a workaround for this? Thank you so much!

Screenshot 1 - how the background should look: All gray

Screenshot 2 - the problem seen here… background turns white…

I managed to applied the script and it works. I would be interested to have multiple collapsible parts. How do I do that? I tried multiplying the code and adding it as new JS but it just messed up the page. Can you pls help?

AnnaHajas1990

Hey there! The script works fine and looks really nice.

I wanted to have more than collapsible page section. Can this script only be used once?

What is not clear, is that do I just add more elements to the same JS code or do I paste the code again?

Thanks
Anna

Hey, Noah do you know if this is any further along. I also need to use multiple collapsible pages. I was going to use the tab script as a workaround but that doesn’t work on mobile
