Expand and collapse text

Hi Does anyone know a plug in that can expand and collapse text on a page? I tried using collapse-o-matic, but it doesn’t seem to work as it should. The down arrow seems to be static and wont hide the text. The code I’m using is:

[Code]
[expand title=”Read More”] Hello World [/expand]
[Code]

I’m putting this in the text exactly as the plug in instructions tell me to do it.
Can anyone explain how the plug in is supposed to work?

Thank you

    Hi. You could try: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-showhide/. Under General Usage he covers a few examples:
    https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-showhide, also see this page here: https://lesterchan.net/wordpress/2011/04/28/wp-showhide-1-00/.

    For splitting posts on your blog page it’s best to use the more tag, here are the details on using that tag to split content:

    Let me know how that goes.

    Thank you Andrew. That plug in seems to work.

    The More Tag doesn’t seem to work though. I can add it to the text in the visual editor, but nothing shows up on the page. Is there a reason why?

    HI Andrew. I seem to be having a problem with the WP show hide. if I have two show hides in one page, the second show hide still seems to be linked to the first one.

    take a look:

    do you have any idea how to fix this? thanks.

    Hi Felipe

    You’ll need to change the type for each show/hide on a page. For example:

    [showhide type="trak"]
Text for Trak goes here.
[/showhide]
    [showhide type="ikelos"]
Text for Ikelos goes here.
[/showhide]

    Hope that helps.

    Earlier you mentioned:

    Are you referring to the traditional more tag?
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/

    If so, that’s not applicable on a single post. You add the more tag to a post, then on your blog page the content will be split with a “Continue Reading” button. Perhaps check out the above link for examples on that.

    Ok. Thanks Andrew. That works. thanks!
