Hi,
I am trying to use a “read more” plugin to hide text on pages. “WP showhide” and “WP show more” have been suggested here. The problem is that each time I update my page, the custom settings of the plugin (link color, link text, etc) go back to default.
All I need is a simple application that expands/hides the text. “Read more” to expand, and an “X” to close the text. Is there another solution to achieve this within the theme?
Regards,
Poirot
Hey Poirot,
The read more is a built WordPress functionality. You can customize it without plugins:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More

Or you can check the styles the plugins generate and put them in you Quick css or in in your child theme style.css, that way they may persist.
Best regards,
Victoria
