Ok, I get it that the copyright issue came from the fix for my original approach to displaying it differently from the way you designed it.
This solution to the plugin conflict is awesome, but I am afraid I am making a hash of it. I am a designer who can modify code, but not a developer. I've never worked with ARIA roles before. At least now I know they exist. This may be beyond the scope of your support, but here goes—
I have tried a lot of different variations of this, and in different files. Currently I have the following code
#accordion .ui-accordion .ui-widget .ui-helper-reset .clearfix [role='tablist'] {
clearfix: both;
}added to the jqueryuicss.css file for the sp-faq plugin. I have also wrapped a div with the clearfix class around the shortcode adding the accordion to the page. None of the things I have tried have had an effect. Are you able to get me any further with this? I really appreciate the help.
