If you’re facing problems with the “Show more” button on your website or app not working, here’s a simple way to fix it.

These kinds of issues often happen because the button isn’t properly connected to the code that expands or shows extra content. To fix this, you’ll want to check the JavaScript that manages this button. Make sure that when you click it, the code actually tells your website to display the hidden content.

First, find the code that runs when the button is clicked. Usually, this is a function attached to the button’s ‘onclick’ event. If you don’t see one, you’ll need to add a small script. For example, you could add an event listener that triggers when the button is clicked.

The script should do something simple like toggling a class or changing the style property of the content you want to show. For example, you could write code that says, “When the button is clicked, find the content you want to reveal, and change its display from ‘none’ to ‘block.'”

Here’s a basic snippet to give you an idea:

javascript
document.querySelector(‘.show-more-button’).addEventListener(‘click’, function() {
const hiddenContent = document.querySelector(‘.hidden-content’);
if (hiddenContent.style.display === ‘none’) {
hiddenContent.style.display = ‘block’;
} else {
hiddenContent.style.display = ‘none’;
}
});

Make sure to replace ‘.show-more-button’ with the actual class or ID of your button, and ‘.hidden-content’ with the class or ID of the content you’re trying to show.

After you add or check this script, test your button again. It should now work smoothly, revealing the extra information when clicked. If it still doesn’t work, double-check the class or ID names, and make sure your script runs after the page has loaded.

This approach usually solves the problem, turning that “Show more” button into a functional feature again.
