I have created a new plugin, WP-ShowHide<\/a>. It is a simple plugin (83 lines of codes including comments) with no configuration screen needed.<\/p>\n

This new plugin came about when Hisham<\/a> tweeted me about whether there is a “Show\/Hide Press Release” WordPress plugin like what Engadget<\/a> does when posting a Press Release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I can’t seem to find it and decided to code one myself using WordPress ShortCode API<\/a>. I made the plugin more generic rather than focusing on Press Releases, so you can have multiple Show\/Hide content within a post.<\/p>\n

I tested it on WordPress 3.1.1 but technically it should work with any version higher than WordPress 2.5 because ShortCode was introduced in WordPress 2.5. <\/p>\n

WP-ShowHide Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Allows you to embed content within your blog post via WordPress ShortCode API and toggling the visibility of the cotent 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.<\/p>\n

Example usage: [ showhide type=\"pressrelease\" ]Press Release goes in here.[ \/showhide ]<\/code> (Remove the spaces before and after the square brackets [].)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
