Did you ever get this resolved?
The plugin is for creating hidden content, which is revealed when you click on some text. It works by shortcode, so copy this
[dropdown_box expand_text=" xx text to be clicked to expand xx" show_more="" show_less="" start="hide"] xx your content here xx [/dropdown_box]
and replace with your content. Make sure you paste it in the HTML view, so it strips out the formatting you’ll see here.
Thank you for your response. I gave up on it.
But I don’t understand what you mean by hidden content. sorry,I don’t know all the ins an out of the techy stuff. Ilook for simple solutions
I was looking to create a “box of a different color” on my posts to make certain text stand out.
It sounds like this isn’t even in the ballpark. I do appreciate your input. Mary
Sounds like that was the smart thing to do, given what you need and the developer’s responsiveness. 🙂
What I mean by hidden content… It’s probably easier to demonstrate. Click the green text on this page and it will reveal a bunch of (hidden) text below it. Click the green text again and that big block of text will disappear.
Thank you GB,
I get it now.
Also, I agree with you. Plugins are too temperamental.
If the author is not involved, it can really cause problems.
Thanks Again,Mary
Happy to help. 🙂
Sometimes it’s not the plugin’s fault, exactly. Even a well-coded plugin can become a problem if it’s not maintained, because so many other elements, including WordPress itself, are changing regularly.
As for your “box of a different color,” you might try Symple Shortcodes. (The boxes are about 1/3 of the way down the demo page.) Pretty easy to implement, too.
