I want to use some accordions Bootstrapon my site, for that I went to the official page and working with the example I see that it fails when I add more accordions, because several are not opening and there is one in the fourth that always starts open, but I only need the first
Also I want only one to be open at a time as in the example page, it only works with some panels.

Even if we wanted to, things don't work just for the sake of it, I think you're doing a copy/paste and expecting to get a result that's out of logic.
In Bootstrap, as in any other environment, there are a couple of rules defined in its documentation, for this case in the section on accordions more specifically.
For everything to work, at least the following rule must be met:
That is the reason why the panels that are opened are being duplicated in this case. Now, you say that you only want one panel displayed at a time, so then you must include them all in the same group, inside the container with class
accordionand selectoraccordionExample, otherwise you have two groups of accordions with 3 panels each.Although the use of selectors in the title of the panels is not strictly necessary, it is recommended as a good practice that they be unique and that they match the elements to which they are related.
And lastly, the fourth panel always starts open because with the class
showyou're commanding it to do so, remove it where you don't need it.Additional recommendation:
Make use of the accessibility attributes , these work hand in hand with some screen readers that help in assisting users with visual limitations or who simply want to listen to the site they are visiting.
You have a couple of bugs using the Bootstrap accordion; if you look, in each block of the accordion, there are the attributes
id="heading#",id="collapse#", these indicate whichheadercorresponds to whichcard-body, if you add more elements to the accordion you also have to change thoseidsof each block so that each one has its partner.You should also ensure that each header has as
data-targetitsidrespective content block; So for example let's say you have a 7th element, you should do something like this:Besides, you are including another complete accordion instead of just including more cards to the same original accordion; and since they have the same
id="accordionExample", this causes you problems; remember that there cannot be elements with the sameid.Here is your code working fine:
The problem is that you're copying the entire example from the
CollapseOne, which causes the behavior you don't want ( panel 1 and 4 to open ). You can fix it by copying the groups from panel number 2 and changing everything related to this item. For example:
