Now it is time to create a nested accordion. To create a nested accordion, we need the accordion group more than one. However, the main concept for the nested accordion is that the shortcode for a group accordion will be used as the body content for a single accordion item in another accordion group. 

However, to clarify the concept, I have created two accordion groups. Now, I want to use the second accordion group as the body content for a single accordion-item of the first accordion group. For this reason, I have copied the shortcode of the accordion group that I want to show as the content for another accordion group item. 

Moreover, I have simply copied and pasted the shortcode as the body content of a single accordion item. It looks like the following screenshot. 

Similarly, you can add multiple nested accordions. Finally, publish the accordion. Consequently, you will find a shortcode for this particular accordion group to display the accordion on the website.
