## Descrizione

By default the content is hidden and user will have to click on the “Show Content”
link to toggle it. Similar to what Engadget is doing for their press releases. Example
usage: `[showhide type="pressrelease"]Press Release goes in here.[/showhide]`

### Usage

 1. By default, content within the showhide shortcode will be hidden.
 2. Example: `[showhide]Press release content goes in here.[/showhide]`
 3. Default Values: `[showhide type="pressrelease" more_text="Show Press Release (%
    s More Words)" less_text="Hide Press Release (%s Less Words)" hidden="yes"]`
 4. You can have multiple showhide content within a post or a page, just by having 
    a new type.
 5. Example: `[showhide type="links" more_text="Show Links (%s More Words)" less_text
    ="Hide Links (%s Less Words)"]Links will go in here.[/showhide]`
 6. If you want to set the default visibility to display.
 7. Example: `[showhide hidden="no"]Press release content goes in here.[/showhide]`
 8. You can style the content via CSS that is generated by the plugin. Here is a sample
    of the generated HTML. Note that pressrelease is the default type.

    ```
    <div id="pressrelease-link-1" class="sh-link pressrelease-link sh-hide">  
      <a href="#">  
        <span id="pressrelease-toggle-1">Show Press Release (4 More Words)</span>  
      </a>  
    </div>  
    <div id="pressrelease-content-1" class="sh-content pressrelease-content sh-hide" style="display: none;">Content</div>
    ```

 1. With the example above, here are the following styles you can use in your CSS:

    ```
    .sh-link A { }  
    .sh-content { }  
    .pressrelease-link { }  
    .pressrelease-link.sh-hide A { }  
    .pressrelease-link.sh-show A { }  
    .pressrelease-content { }  
    .pressrelease-content.sh-hide { }  
    .pressrelease-content.sh-show { }
    ```

 [delboy007](https://profiles.wordpress.org/delboy007/) 9 Febbraio 2022

I don’t understand why developers take the time to write a plugin and then don’t
bother to provide detailed documentation. Looks like it might do what I want but
I give up trying and notice a lot of support requests have not been replied to.

 [Rollaz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rollaz/) 30 Gennaio 2021

Simple and working plugin. Tried several more, but they had issues with filter Im
using on my page, this one worked like a charm. Additionally I would recommend to
add an option to show hide button on the bottom of displayed text.

Love this plugin. Had a little panic that it wasn’t going to work with Wordpress
5.6 and php 7.4, but it does. Please keep maintaining this plugin! (I just sent 
my donation.)

### 󠀁[great idea but doesn’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-idea-but-doesnt-work-6/)󠁿

 [pentagramwookie](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pentagramwookie/) 20 Settembre

It’s a great idea and could be very useful but it doesn’t work on the current WP
version. The site I was trying to use this on uses WP 5.5.1, with plugins Akismet,
Feed Them Social, Feedzy, and Lightbox. I figure this plugin may be incompatible
with one of those plugins or this current version of WP. The link doesn’t do anything
when clicked and the wrong text is showing up. Even though I changed the shortcode
to say ‘MORE INFO’ it still said Press Release along with the additional number 
text and a number next to it. I didn’t see settings anywhere for this plugin.
