This code enables you to add a Read More button which toggles the full content when clicked. When expanded the button text changes to Read Less and enables you to slide back up to only show the 1st paragraph.
Watch the following video demo to see exactly what the code does.
The code works on single posts, single static pages and single custom post types. It wraps the content in a div, excluding the 1st paragraph and adds the button after the last paragraph. Use this solution if you need this functionality on archive page types.
