Enabling the "more" tag for PAGES

[Jumpringer]

Requesting assistance with enabling the "more" tag for pages.

I installed the "Read More Right Here" plugin for how it handles "read more" - by displaying or hiding content on the same webpage, without jumping to a new page.

The plugin does have a checkbox to enable it to work on PAGES, which refers to WP Codex:

Per WordPress Codex, here is the code to enable the "more" tag on PAGES (not posts):

Please remember that the "Read More" tag is used only on the Home page which shows the latest posts. It does not work in "Pages". If you want to turn it on in Pages too for showing a set of partial posts, use the following code inside the loop for the dynamic content:

<?php
global $more;
$more = 0;
?>
//The code must be inserted ahead of the call the_content, but AFTER the_post()

<?php the_content('Continue Reading'); ?>

I am not sure where to add this code, or if it can be added as a hook.

If you can point me in the right direction, please advise...thanks.

Am I understanding correctly that you want to hide some of the content on your page until the visitor clicks a link? So they would click the link and more content would display under what they've already read? If so, this tutorial might help you: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-show-and-hide-text-in-wordpress-posts-with-the-toggle-effect/

Thanks, Andrea, this is what I am looking for.

A limitation of the ShowHide plugin is that it only allows for one instance of "read more/read less" per page.

The plugin's creator does have some instruction on how to enable multiple show/hides, so I'm trying to get clarification on that.

Much appreciated!

For anyone who might be interested, this script enables read more/less on a page, with multiple instances.
