Description

nnax ReadMore helps editors keep posts and pages compact while still making additional content available on demand.

Use the shortcode [nnax_readmore]...[/nnax_readmore] to hide longer sections behind a toggle button. Visitors can expand and collapse the content without requiring a bundled front-end framework.

Main features

Namespaced shortcode [nnax_readmore] for expandable content blocks
Dedicated ReadMore block for Gutenberg and a button above the editor in the Classic Editor
Toggle button text between “Show more” and “Show less”
Configurable button CSS classes in plugin settings
Role-based visibility and editing permissions for the plugin admin area
Toggle behaviour works without any bundled front-end library
Clean uninstall behaviour for plugin options

Requirements

WordPress 6.0 or higher
PHP 7.4 or higher

Usage

Use this shortcode in content:

[nnax_readmore]Your hidden content[/nnax_readmore]

In Gutenberg, a dedicated ReadMore block is available in the block inserter. In the Classic Editor, the button is available above the editor. In both cases, a dialogue opens for entering the hidden content.

Uninstallation

When the plugin is deleted, uninstall.php removes the options nnaxreadmore_button_classes, nnaxreadmore_general_settings, and nnaxreadmore_role_access.
In multisite, cleanup runs per site and also removes a possible network option.

Known Limitations

The plugin focuses on the shortcode toggle behaviour only.
Runtime compatibility with the minimum supported WordPress version, multisite setups, and broader theme sets must be validated in the target project environment.

Updated the plugin URI and documentation URLs to expertonaut.de.
Replaced the default UIkit button classes with the custom ‘nnax-readmore-btn’ class.
