Chan broke his own code
-
I’ve been using this Show/Hide plugin for a few years now. It used to be that the code was this
[showhide type=”post” more_text=”Show the spoiler…” less_text=“Hide the spoiler…”]?Text you want to hide?[/showhide]
And I could insert whatever text I wanted within the quote marks. Then Chan broke it.
Now it says “Show Press Release” regardless of the text I put in the quote marks. I told Chan about this and the fact that the plugin completely failed the last time I tried using it. Now he’s fixed it so it does still show and hide but it keeps the “Show Press Release” text regardless of the text I put in the quote marks.
Chan’s response: change the CSS code. Really?! So unhelpful! It’s going to take some research to figure out how to find his code segment in my CSS code.
Why would you take an elegant piece of coding and break it?

It might be your quotes that are incorrect or you are typing it in the visual editor. Note that this is not compatible with Gutenberg.
The plugin code has not bee touch in two years, https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-showhide/blob/master/wp-showhide.php. The last update to it was 15 Jul 2017.
So it might be a user error?
That is only the version bump. The main code was not touched. This is the only change https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-showhide/commit/4e45d0e854b1064c187756a3a953b0f54a2f0f03, as you can see I only bump the version from 5.0 to 5.3.
