The Expand Block functionality for the "show more" text inside of the post body is not expanding inside of a View.
[wpv-post-body view_template="None"]

The expand is working inside the post here: hidden link
but not inside the View on this page: hidden link (Example in first post only)

It seems that the click function is not firing inside the View for some reason. Is there a setting or workaround for this? Thanks.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I checked the problem URL you shared and I see that it's the expand block is not working with the problem URL. I checked the browser console and I do not see any Javascript/jQuery errors.

Its hard to say anything before reviewing your current setup. Can you please share admin access details and let me see whats going wrong with your setup.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Hi Minesh,

Since this is on a university server, I will not be able to grant you access easily. I was hoping that you can give me some Toolset configurations to try in order to troubleshoot the issue myself. Thanks.

Here is the sandbox site, you can auto-login to it using the following link:
- hidden link

You should try to replicate the issue with this site and share with me the problem URL and I'm happy to look at it and see if I can offer you any other workaround.

Thank you so much for that Minesh! Yes I was able to replicate the issue. Please note that I did install the Ultimate Blocks plugin for the "Expand" block.

Here is the post where the show more link is working: hidden link

and here is the page with the View where it's not working: hidden link

I checked and I confirm that the expand block is not working when its added to views. I see that when you try to display the expand block using the [wpv-post-body] shortcode, the page where you added the view it missing the css and js that should be added by the ultimate blocks.

The 'Ultimate Blocks' plugin is not officially integrated with Toolset. Here you can find the list of block plugins and its associated blocks which are integrated with Toolset:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/dynamic-sources-in-popular-blocks/

I suggest either you should go with those blocks plugin that is integrated with Toolset or you should contact the "Ultimate Blocks" plugin author and encourage them to contact us to talk about cooperation to make "Ultimate Blocks" compatible with Toolset.

Thanks, can you please tell me if any of the Toolset compatible blocks have the expand/collapse text feature, with the exception of the accordion block?

With the list I already shared before:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/dynamic-sources-in-popular-blocks/

I do not see any other block like expand/collapse other than accordion.

Maybe you should try to use jQuery. For example, please check the following reference:
