How to add more questions to FAQ/accordian block?

    This is going to sound silly and I must be having an off day, but I just can’t see where we add another question after the 1st question/answer in the accordion block. Everything else is very intuitive and great options regarding style, etc.

    We already have a list of 20 FAQs (questions w/ answers) and would be nice if we could easily add them from a text file or CSV, or at least be able to set # of FAQs in a layout setting. Do we have to manually add an accordion block for each question/answer? I don’t see an option to duplicate a block so it will inherit the style settings for consistency. Is there a way to change the style settings for multiple question/answer blocks at the same time so we don’t have to do each one manually. This is time consuming for a long list of FAQs.

    Thanks for your help

    Hey @wordmax,

    Don’t worry about it, we’re happy to help!

    For now, you would have to add an Accordion block for every question/answer. Here are some ways you can speed up the process to maintain consistent styles across all of them:

    1. You can duplicate the Accordion block to add another set of questions and answers by clicking on the three-dot button in the block toolbar. Here’s where you can find it: https://app.screencast.com/vMTfTRdSOmFXN
    2. You can also set a Block Default for the Accordion block by clicking on the Stackable icon in the top right of the Editor. From there, you can pre-set the styles for the Accordion block so the styles will be applied each time you add an Accordion block. Here’s where you can find this setting: https://app.screencast.com/NPjjGUsjwoSDc
    3. You can use Stackable’s Advanced Copy Paste Styles. This is a Premium feature that will allow you to copy paste the style settings of one Accordion block to another block or multiple blocks at at a time when using multi-select. Here’s more info on the Advanced Copy Paste Styles feature: https://docs.wpstackable.com/article/355-what-is-copy-paste-styles

    In the meantime, we’ve taken note of your feedback about adding them as a text file or CSV, and being able to set # of FAQ’s in a layout setting.

    Let us know if this helps!

    Ok, thanks for that info, very helpful. I must say that Stackable UI is superior in many ways to Spectra (which I have mostly used in past) but when it comes to adding FAQs quick and easy, Spectra definitely has a more user friendly interface for wp admins. You may want to take a look and try to borrow from their UI concept for adding FAQs. They have a separate FAQ block in addition to an accordion block.

    Overall great plugin though. Thank you.
