Using Helpie for its Elementor Accordion Widget and Toggle

In this case, the content not necessarily is FAQ questions and answers. You could add any content and show them in Accordion or Toggle form. Here I’ve put shortcodes inside the Elementor Tabs widget and display FAQ accordion inside the widget area on different tabs. Mind here that in Elementor you cannot put one widget on another, so it’s only possible with Helpie FAQ’s shortcodes.

You can also place the Helpie FAQ shortcode on the Testimonial Carousel widget and placed accordions inside the testimonials for example.

You can use many other Elementor widgets in this way and end up with creative designs showing collapsible content wherever you want!
