Do you want accordion items to open as soon as visitors point at them? Hover opening saves a click and suits short, scannable lists.
The Accordion widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor has an On Hover Accordion switch for this.

Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Before You Start
- Edition: Pro — On Hover Accordion is part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. In the free plugin the option shows an upgrade notice instead of working.
- Widget to enable: Accordion, switched on under The Plus Addons > Widgets.
Steps
- Add the Accordion widget and your items.
- In Content > Special Option, turn on On Hover Accordion.
- Optional: set Extra Option > Active Tab to 0 so every item starts closed.
Publish and move your mouse over the titles.
How It Behaves
- Moving over a title opens it and closes the item that was open.
- The item stays open when the mouse leaves. It closes only when another item opens.
- Clicking an open item does not close it in this mode.
- On touch screens there is no hover: a tap on a title opens it.
Limitations
- Not with Horizontal Accordion. The Horizontal option is hidden while On Hover is on.
- Anchor links to an item’s Unique ID don’t open items in hover mode.
Troubleshooting
I can’t find Horizontal Accordion
Turn off On Hover Accordion; the two can’t be used together.
