 * I tried this but image is not shown, what’s wrong with the syntax?
 * [reveal heading=”%title%%image%” img_url=”full_path_to_image/image1.gif” id=”
   id1″ title1=”Read more…” title2=”Hide this…”]

 * Instead of specifying the full image URL, you should only give the URL to the
   folder. Then have 2 images inside – image1 and image2. If they’re not GIF use
   the ‘ext’ parameter to change it.

 * Thank you!
 * Maybe it makes sense to update in your documentation with the exact syntax of
   the URL path, because it is not obvious and users may need to experiment before
   they found the correct way, just give the an example of how the img_url attribute
   should look like:
    e.g.
 * img_url=”wp-content/themes/theme-name/images/subfoldername/”

 * Yes, you’re right. I’ve only just dusted down the plugin for the first time in
   years and, yes, it needs an update. I’ll get that done soon.

 * You need to create a specific folder – somewhere, anywhere – which contains two
   image files named image1 and image2. They can have a GIF or PNG extension.
 * Then, when you use the [reveal] shortcode simply add the parameter of ‘img_url
   ={folder URL}’, where {folder URL} is the URL of the folder you created above.
 * For example…
 * `[reveal img_url='http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/images/']`

 * Hi,
 * I have uploaded the images in my public html folder, and have used the shortcode
   example given and changed the url, but there’s an error stating this:
 * “Content Reveal: No heading was specified”
 * I’m confused 🙁

 * The example I gave above was just demonstrating how to add the parameter for 
   the folder – there are other parameters you need to specify as well.

 * Click on “Other Notes” above and then look for the section named “Using a Short
   Code” – that should be enough to get you started. Just add the parameter above
   for the image location.

 * Of course – just specify a different folder for each.

 * Should I duplicate the coding in php file and insert different img url for each
   or how?

 * PHP file? Do you mean the shortcode? For each instance just use the same shortcode
   + parameters but change the img_url parameter.

 * Hi David,
 * What I meant by PHP file is, i actually edited the plugin php file in the plugin
   editor section in wordpress. I updated the existing file with my image url and
   all, and it did work. But only for one image.
 * I dont know how can I add another custom image url because I cannot update the
   same php file mentioned with additional (duplicate) coding.
 * and I have tried putting the shortcode parameters in my post/page editor but 
   that didnt work. it didnt give me the same result as the one above.
 * Do you mind if i have your email or anything so that I can show you further what
   my concern and problem is? Id appreciate your help.
 * Thanks
    Adi
