the default ‘read more’ does not work with static pages, like your linked page.
to hide some of the content until somebody clicks a button, consider to use a plugin like https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/read-more-inline/
Hey @alchymyth
Can you tell me how to use it? I have installed the plugin but I am a novice when it comes to coding so a brief step by step would really help.
that plugin does not seem to need coding;
try to activate it from the plugin panel; then see what happens to your page, and if you are happy with the result.
for plugin specific help, please ask at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/read-more-inline
correction:
actually, the plugin asks you to add some code into the loop of the static page template;
not sure where these instructions do now show in the new plugin pages.
(the code insertion could actually get done with some coding from within the plugin – would need an update of the plugin).
Hey @renemaurer
Can you help me with coding?
Can you tell me how to use the read more plugin in my page linked below, @aecorn
http://www.autismheartsfoundation.org/programs/
I want the read more tag to appear right before “Our Goal” but I dont have a clue how to do the coding after installing the read more plugin.
Please post a link to the plugin you have installed.
Read about how to enter “shortcodes”
https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Shortcode
Your plugin probably has a read-me page you should read, it will also list the shortcodes you should employ.
This plugin might be easier for you to use:
https://nb.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/read-more-without-refresh/
The “shortcode” for this is:
[read more=»Read more» less=»Read less»] Your long text [/read]
Add the shortcode straight into your page/post and put anything that needs to be hidden were the shortcode says “Your long text”.

Hey, thanks, @aecorn
I will install the plugin you suggested. Can you, if possible, send me a step by step on how to edit the code for the page in question cause I have no idea what a short code is or how to deploy it.
The page in question is http://www.autismheartsfoundation.org/programs/ and I want the read more tag to appear just before where it says “our goal”
Have you pasted the text from gmail? Cause there are a lot of weird classes on your paragraphs…
Install and activate
https://nb.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/read-more-without-refresh/
Go to the post in question, probably pages -> programs. Before “Our Goals”, paste this:
[read more="Read more" less="Read less"]
After the rest of your text. Paste this:
[/read]

It worked, @aecorn. One issue, it just says “read.” how can I change it to Read More
[read more="Change this" less="and this if you want"]
You can change the text inside the quotation-marks to be what you want.
