  1. you can display first image using the “Featured Thumbnail” feature which is added after wordpress 2.9 to display the first image.

    You can check more details about it at
    WordPress Featured Thumbnail

    for the expand collapse

    add this css code inside your themes style.css file also make sure to add additional styles to it.

    .toggle_container
    {
    display:none;
    /*
    add your additional style width and all the other things.
    */
    }
    .read_more
    {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #69D2E7;
        color: #FFFFFF;
        font-size: 0.92em;
        font-weight: bold;
        line-height: 1;
        margin-left: 74px;
        padding: 2px 5px 0;
        text-transform: uppercase;
    /* change this style as you want..*/
    }
    

    call wordpress function inside a div like

     
    <a href="#" class="read_more">Read More</a>
    <div class="toggle_container">
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    </div>
    

    Add jquery inside your themes header.php file inside

    <head></head>

    tag. and add this additional jquery code to achieve the toggle effect.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $(".toggle_container").hide();
        $("a.read_more").toggle(function(){
            $(this).text("CLOSE POST");
            }, function () {
            $(this).text("READ POST");
        });
        $("a.read_more").click(function(){
            $(this).next(".toggle_container").slideToggle("slow");
        });
    });
    </script>
    
    1. Andy Kirilinko says:

      Thank you, this helps, but I’m having a problem. I’ve updated the style.css, header.php, and inserted the wordpress function and it hides the post, however When the “read more” link is clicked, nothing happens.. I’ve tried to find the issue, I’ve even applied the same effect on different themes just to make sure that wasn’t an issue..

      thanks for any help.

      1. Andy Kirilinko says:

        sorry, I just realized that I place the jquery.js in the theme folder, not in the main folder… whole day= wasted.

        any tips on the best way to implement this on an image/button rather than a text link?

        1. just show me where you are implementing this. you can email me details if you don’t want to put it here. send me details so i can give you example. use contact us form to send details.

  2. How can i make these accordians expand when navigated through an external links? Thanks!

  3. Can you place one toggle box inside another?
