Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Background
Collapse Magic provides an easy way to display (collapsible) read-more text on a page. Also, display a few lines of text and add read-more or expand text.
This plugin was developed when a cross-site scripting vulnerability was identified in collapse-o-matic. This plugin can be used as a direct replacement to collapse-o-matic. There is no need for any on-page changes to be made for the plugin to be used as a replacement.
Set-up
Install the plugin
Set any parameters from the admin Settings menu.
Place text between [magic_expand][/magic_expand] tags or between [expand][/expand] for the toggle to work.
Include alternate ‘read-more’ text if this is required in the shortcode as [magic_expand title=”NEW READ-MORE TEXT”].
Use alternate ‘read-less’ text if this is required in the shortcode as [magic_expand swaptitle=”NEW READ-LESS TEXT”].
Toggle button to set the default location of the expand / collapse label to above or below the section.
Single click disable button to switch off the shortcodes and show the full text.
Shortcode Parameters
Read-more / expand label – ‘title’. Example [magic_expand title=”–more–“].
Read-less / collapse label – ‘swaptitle’. Example [magic_expand title=”–more–” swaptitle=”–less–“].
Position of the expand label – ‘pos’. Example [magic_expand pos=”above”] or [magic_expand pos=”below”]
