So I’ve been tinkering with JQuery this weekend and have built a function for WordPress to display a JQuery accordion of a certain number of posts from a certain category – Title and Excerpt details.
It also can be used across both pages and posts using a shortcode. Update – I have built a WordPress plugin to run this function and shortcode, and have created its own page here for download and instructions.
