There are seven new features that you\u2019ll be able to use in the new cuTheme, and we\u2019re rolling out a seven-series blog post to keep you informed about the changes you should keep on your radar.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re covering number five out of seven: Accordions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
