Hi Ron. Supernice! One little issue, the helpfile (pdf) doesn't link from the "Help" button. I checked and it wasn't installed when you go through the extension manager. I copied the help pdf manually to extension folder but doesn't link anyhow...
But as I wrote just a small issue that not so important....

@bluesman,
Ahhh, yes you are correct. I have fixed it now. Thanks for the info.
You can download the updated version thru the My Orders page
here.
Make sure to uninstall the first one and then install this one. If you used it in a project, you will have to rebuild it using the update as the name has changed.

Hi. Crispy68,
I’m hoping you can steer me in the right direction with an issue I am having with your read more extension. I have tried to add it to my website a few times and each time it works as it should but then all the text disappears and often times it is outside of the page even though I’ve added it to a layout grid nested inside another layout grid. The only way I get it working again is to delete the old one and re-add it again to the page. It will work for a while then breaks again. One thing I’ve noticed is that at the default page size I’m using of 1500 px, the read mores display fine. As soon as I go below 1500 they disappear.
I’m at a loss how to get it working and perhaps you might have a couple of ideas? Thanks, Mark

Hello, crispy68!
Your website is currently in WBWD-Read-More-CSS-1.0.0. versions. Is this an old version of the extension or a new one with the same number?
Yours sincerely, Victor

@Alan,
Check your email now. On the freebie stuff, I manually approve the orders. For some reason, I must have missed my notification email of your order.
