Hi, I know I mentioned this in a previous ticket, but as it is a separate issue from the one solved I thought for the sake of clarity for those who may search for the same solution later on, I would use a new ticket to ask. 

I need to close items by clicking on the minus icon as well as by clicking on the plus icon of other items.

This is to satisfy a very demanding client who has made it clear that this is a deal-breaker for her. No close on clicking on the minus icon, no new accordion. 

Hoping you can help!

And my apologies for posting this question twice. As soon as I pressed submit on the old ticket I realised I should have created a separate ticket for this separate problem. 

 

Thank you Amit, once again superb reaction times! I will be sure to mention your sterling support on the Envato sales page. 

From the JS tab as requested:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

jQuery('.uc_elegant_accordion .uc_trigger-{{uc_id}}').click(function(){
if( jQuery(this).next().is(':hidden') ) {
jQuery('.uc_elegant_accordion .uc_trigger-{{uc_id}}').removeClass('active').next().slideUp();
jQuery(this).toggleClass('active').next().slideDown();
}
return false;
});
});

Amit, my dear boy, your code works like a charm. 

Thank you so much. I am now off to the comments section of your Envato sales page to let everyone know what stellar support you provide. 

I have added my praise in the comments section and given you five stars. It was a pleasure to do.
