WP-ShowHide

August 09, 2023

WP-ShowHide Plugin

Allows you to embed content within your blog post via WordPress ShortCode API and toggling the visibility of the content via a link.

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 { }
