[Plugin: jQuery Collapse-O-Matic] Auto expand on page load

You might try simply adding the following css to your theme’s style.css file:

.collapseomatic_content {
    display: none;
}

This will force the content to not be hidden while the page loads.
Note: there is some discussion about using display:none with search engines. However, if you google this, you will find that the rule of thumb is, as long as your site is using display:none for things like drop-down menus and screen reader navigation (both standard WordPress uses) you should not be penalize. If, however, you are using display:none to pack in a bunch of keywords and the content adds nothing of value to your reader—I promise you, search engines are smart enough to catch your evil ways.

In the future (the distant future) we might release a pro version of the plugin that would allow you to dynamically load in the text via AJAX. However, while we still live in the present, give the display:none a try, and see if it susses out your peek-a-boo content issue.

Many thanks for the reply. I’ve added these lines to the bottom of the file as suggested and it doesn’t make any difference which you’ll see if you revisit page.

Do I have any other options other than waiting for future AJAX version?

Many thanks,
Cliff

Are you sure about this? Have you cleared your cache? It seems to be fine one this end.

OK tried it in Firefox – no change.

In Safari it seems to be better.

Which browser are you using?

BTW happy to pay for the Support option and give you access to the site if it would help.

Cliff,

it sounds like you are having more than the standard issues, as you are using the plugin in rather advanced ways. If you would like, we are happy to set up working examples of what you are trying to accomplish directly on your site, for a reasonable fee. Simply order the collapse-o-matic premium support pack and we’ll be in touch. It’s quite a big bang for the buck, and in your case, highly recommend.

You’ve got $s ??

Problem solved.
