Display and Conceal Text in WordPress Posts

Are you looking for a way to show and hide text in your WordPress posts using a toggle effect? Sometimes, you may want to hide certain content until a visitor clicks on a specific link. This is especially useful when creating a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section or when you have a lot of text on a single page. In this article, we will walk you through the process of hiding text in WordPress posts using a toggle effect.

Using the Read More Without Refresh Plugin

The easiest and most effective way to add a ‘Read More’ link to any page or post is by using the Read More Without Refresh plugin. This free plugin allows you to customize the link and place it anywhere on your website using a shortcode.

1. Start by installing and activating the Read More Without Refresh plugin.
2. Once activated, go to ‘RMWP Settings’ to configure the plugin’s settings.
3. Here, you can change the text used for the ‘Read More / Read Less’ links.
4. You can also customize the appearance of the links by changing the text color, background color, font weight, adding a border, and adjusting the padding.
5. After configuring the settings, you can apply the toggle effect to any page or post.
6. Identify the text you want to hide and enclose it in a shortcode.
7. Add a shortcode block before and after the text.
8. In the first shortcode block, include the shortcode [read more].
9. In the second shortcode block, include the shortcode [/read].
10. Update or publish your post, and you will see that the text between the shortcode blocks is initially hidden. Visitors can reveal the hidden text by clicking on the ‘Read More’ link.

Using a Page Builder Plugin

If you want to create a professional and visually appealing question and answer section with a toggle effect, we recommend using a page builder plugin like SeedProd. This tool makes it easy to design custom landing pages and provides pre-designed site templates, including FAQ designs.

1. Install and activate the SeedProd page builder plugin.
2. Create a new page and open the SeedProd page editor.
3. Go to the ‘Sections’ tab in the left-hand menu and select ‘FAQ’ to browse through the available question and answer sections.
4. Preview the designs and choose the one that fits your preferences.
5. SeedProd will add the chosen FAQ section to your page.
6. Personalize the section by adding your own questions and answers.
7. You can also customize the appearance of the FAQ section, such as adjusting the font size, spacing, icons, and more.
8. Once you are satisfied with the design, save and publish your page.

By using a page builder like SeedProd, you can easily create visually appealing FAQ sections with a toggle effect, allowing visitors to quickly find the information they need.

Using the Heroic FAQs Plugin

Another option is the Heroic FAQs plugin. This plugin simplifies FAQ management with its drag and drop interface for creating FAQ groups and allows you to display them using a simple WordPress block.

1. Install and activate the Heroic FAQs plugin.
2. Create your FAQ groups by adding questions and answers using the plugin’s interface.
3. Display the FAQs anywhere on your website using a WordPress block.
4. Customize the FAQ style and choose between an accordion or toggle format to show and hide questions and answers.
