Want to make your WordPress site more interactive? One fun way to do this is by adding toggle content using Elementor. Don’t worry — it’s easier than it sounds. This guide will show you how to create cool collapsible sections that make your content cleaner and more dynamic!
What is Toggle Content?
Toggle content lets your visitors click to show or hide information. It’s perfect for:
- FAQs
- Long descriptions
- Hidden goodies or bonuses
Instead of overwhelming your readers with everything at once, toggles add a little mystery!
Step 1: Open Elementor
Go to your WordPress dashboard. Choose the page you want and click Edit with Elementor. Boom! You’re in the Elementor editor.
Step 2: Drag in the Toggle Widget
In the Elementor panel on the left, search for the widget called “Toggle”. Drag and drop it into your layout. That’s it. Seriously!
You’ll see a couple of new toggle items appear. It looks like a mini FAQ already!
Step 3: Customize the Toggle Items
Here’s where the magic happens. Click on a toggle item, and you’ll see:
- Title – This is what users click on
- Content – This is what they’ll see after it’s opened
You can add as many toggle items as you like. Want five questions? Done! Want three fun facts? Easy!
Step 4: Style Your Toggle
Now, make it pretty. Click the Style tab in Elementor when a toggle widget is selected.
You’ll see options like:
- Title Color
- Background Color
- Border Radius
- Typography (fancy word for font choices!)
Play around with the settings until it feels like you. Be bold, be bright — or be minimalist and sleek. It’s your site!
And if you plan to match your theme’s colors? Just use the color picker. Paste in your hex codes to keep things looking sharp.
Step 5: Add Icons for Fun
Elementor lets you use icons like plus signs or arrows.
To add an icon:
- Click a toggle item.
- Look for Icon under the settings.
- Choose one from Elementor’s library — or upload your own!
Icons can really improve the clarity of your toggles. Plus, they look awesome!
Bonus Tip: Use Sections Inside Your Toggle
Want more than just text inside your toggle? Go wild!
You can add:
- Images
- Videos
- Buttons
- Columns
Do this by using the Elementor Text Editor or inserting shortcodes and layouts into your toggle content area. Just because it’s a toggle doesn’t mean it has to be simple.
Some Fun Use Cases
Need ideas on where you can use toggles? Try these:
- Recipe steps – Reveal one step at a time
- Pricing details – Add fine print behind a click
- Quizzes and games – Hide answers until revealed
- Hidden testimonials or surprises
Extra Styling with CSS (Optional)
Feeling adventurous? Add a little custom CSS for even more style power!
Here’s a fun trick to animate the toggle open:
selector .elementor-toggle-item {
transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out;
}
If that felt like wizard-speak, don’t worry. Elementor’s built-in settings are good enough for most people.
Final Thoughts
Toggle content is fun, functional, and fabulous!
With Elementor, creating toggle sections doesn’t take hours. It takes minutes. Whether you’re spicing up your FAQs or hiding secret content, toggles give your visitors control — and that keeps them engaged.
Happy toggling 🎉!
