<p>Whistles was not born as “just another tabs plugin”.  It was born out of the idea that we need to get rid of all other plugins like this and start from scratch.</p>
<p>It seems to me that tabs plugins have been clunky and extremely hard to use over the years.  Whistles seeks to rectify this by making it easy to manage tabs, toggles, accordions, and other things that need to be embedded into a page.</p>
<h3>So, what is Whistles? Are whistles? Can you whistle?</h3>
<p>Whistles is a plugin that creates a new content type called “whistle” and a new taxonomy called “whistle group”.  The plugin allows you to create individual whistles and organize them into whistle groups however you see fit.  Then, it allows you to embed whistle groups into posts using the <code>[whistles]</code> shortcode or adding it via the Whistles widget.</p>
<p>You can also decide how you want to display your whistles.  In the current version of the plugin, they can be displayed as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tabs</li>
<li>Toggles</li>
<li>Accordions</li>
</ul>
<p>The great thing about this method is that you’re pretty much able to put whatever content you want into your whistles.  It’s no different than writing a post or page.  You can insert text, images, media, and even other shortcodes.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>“Whistles” screen in the admin under “Appearance” for creating whistles.</li>
<li>“Whistle Groups” screen in the admin under “Appearance” for organizing whistles.</li>
<li><code>[whistles]</code> shortcode for displaying whistles.</li>
<li>“Add Whistles” media button above the post content editor for inserting whistles.</li>
<li>“Whistles” widget under the “Appearance > Widgets” admin screen.</li>
</ul>

Accordion Toggle

This is my second review of this plugin. Previously it only supported plain-text content, not even links. It has changed, but not for the better.

Problem 1: How to add content!@#!!&*
I installed this and added one to a page, which started me out with three empty headings. I then clicked around for several minutes trying to see how to add content to a section.

Eventually I happened upon the answer -- you have to add an accordion item to the ones it inserts by default. If you do that, opening handles appear on all the items and you can expand them to add content.

It's very difficult to imagine how this wasn't noticed by the developer if they did any testing AT ALL.

Problem 2: Doesn't work in preview mode.
Using Twenty Twenty-One theme, no special style rules. Apparently the stylesheet for the plugin doesn't load in preview.

Problem 3: Editor appearance doesn't reflect selected options.
This seems to be a variation on the first problem. I select Classic vs Gradient appearance for the tabs, and nothing changes. I save and view the page (since as noted, preview doesn't work) and the titles still have gradient appearance.

After multiple edits, I got the "classic" styling to work, but when I put a nested accordion block into one of the sections, its tabs had the same styling as the containing accordion -- the options I selected for the nested block were ignored.

Bottom line:
This was sloppily done, and released with basically no testing. I have lost all confidence in this developer and will not be reviewing any future versions.
