Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Collapse Magic

Yes, the plugin is theme independent.

Yes, the settings can be configured from the styling page.

Click on Collapse Magic option on the WordPress 'Settings' admin menu.

Yes, go to settings>collapse magic>Toggle Above and set this to 'on'. The toggle text will display above.

Yes, if you go to settings>collapse magic>Block Height and increase the value, you can display teaser text. You can also change the fade-out height for disappearing text.

Yes, the fade works as long as the Block height is set to a value greater than 1px.

We make every effort to ensure that all the WordPress guidelines are followed and that our plugins are optimised to perform well in all our tests.

The very first time you view the page after installing the plugin you may need to refresh the page (ctrl+F5) to ensure that the new style and script libraries are initiated. If needed this should be a once-off refresh. Everything should be fine thereafter.

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) has strict limitations on JavaScript, and does not allow jQuery. This breaks the dynamic features that are key to this plugin.

Nesting [magic_expand] shortcodes is not supported. If you need multiple collapsible sections, use separate blocks one after another (not inside each other).
