<a href="http://squelchdesign.com/wordpress-plugin-squelch-tabs-accordions-shortcodes/" rel="nofollow ugc">Squelch Tabs and Accordions Shortcodes</a> provides shortcodes for adding stylish Web 2.0 style accordions and tabs to your WordPress website: Horizontal accordions, vertical accordions and tabs.
After you have installed the plugin you can use simple shortcodes on any page or post to add tabs or accordions.
Tabs and accordions can help to improve your website in a number of ways:
<ul>
<li>Add interactivity: With collapsible accordions and tabs, you can make better use of the available space on the page.</li>
<li>Add style: Tabs and accordions can help make your site look more professional and better polished than other sites.</li>
<li>Save space: Tabs and accordions can save a lot of space on the page making your website look less cluttered.</li>
<li>Separating content: Showing content only when required while the rest remains invisible dividing the content into parts.</li>
</ul>
If you want to add more interactivity with Tabs, Vertical and Horizontal Accordions on your WordPress website, Squelch Tabs and Accordions Shortcodes is a good option.

A note on responsiveness:
We receive a lot of questions as to whether this plugin is responsive. All widgets in this plugin are responsive excluding the horizontal accordion widget: It uses a different library to the other widgets, and that library is unfortunately not responsive. We may add a responsive horizontal slider in the future, but it is not available yet.

Squelch Tabs and Accordions Shortcodes

I tested almost 10 tab plugins and this one suits me best. Even though it is very far from perfect, after the pain other developers put me through, I have to appreciate quality of this one.

- Very fast, no content jumping
- Content of tabs is within Wordpress posts thanks to properly done shortcodes, not like in most of plugins where 1 shortcode = 1 tab of content created in plugin's interface
- Starting theme is good and neutral enough to actually suffice for most of websites
- There is a multitude of other themes to be picked in plugin's settings

Now the bad:
- No built in responsiveness for horizontal tabs
- No Font Awesome icons for tab titles

Some additional thoughts:

Can't set things like font size, but it can easily be changed through CSS, so no problem for me. It's a bit misleading that settings are under Appearance menu and on installed plugins list there is no settings option for this plugin what at start led me to think there are no settings at all. I think that some preview of available themes would be nice, checking them one by one is quite a chore and I couldn't find any online source for these themes.
