    I have researched ways to hide spoilers within the body of a post. A few say I can do it within the parameters of a WP post. Is it possible?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    I can imagine a few different ways that you could do this. Can you tell me what exactly you’re trying to do and I can tell you whether that way is possible?

    I have a review that either needs to hide a paragraph due to some spoilers or send it back to my reviewer for edits. I know other blogs can hide them and want to know if I gave that capability

    When you say “hide” what do you imagine happening? Does the reader need to highlight that area to read the text? Click on a link to open a portion of the post? Hover over a link to see an alt text popup?

    If you tell me your ideal version of this, I can look into how you can do that.

    The typical way I have seen this is is that they click on the word spoiler in order to get to the sentence/paragraph indicated. Then they can return to the rest of the post.

    This part contains spoilers – click. read then close.

    Back to the main body.

    that sort of format

    Okay! You could do this by creating a Page with the spoiler content (pages are not publicized to your social media sites) and then link to it from your post.

    Does that sound like it would do what you want?

    I will try that, thanks. I had thought of using a Spoiler page but wasn’t sure how to link that to the review. I will try that and let you know.
