This plugin hides the text that is defined between the simple Shortcode. By clicking on the user-defined link, the hidden text becomes visible. It works via a Shortcode and can be placed everywhere!

Usage: [show_more more=”TEXT” less=”TEXT”] Content [/show_more]
You can use some parameters like: 
– more=”show more” 
– less=”show more” 
– color=”#0066CC” 
– list=”»” 
– align=”left” | “center” | “right” 
– size=”120″

I have tried other plugins 'read more' plugins but ended up with frustrations.. Only this one works - simple and fast. If you are looking for read more plugins, don't bother with others, just install this one.
