Good Plugin for Hidden Answer Quiz
I am using this plugin for Hidden Answer Quiz. After searching around, I discovered this is the only Wordpress Hidden Answer plugin in the market, perfect for Hidden Answer Quiz, Reveal Hidden Coupon code, Hide and Reveal FAQs and so on. Initially, I was looking for something like a scratch off sticker that is used on coupon sites like savings.com, but this plugin does the job of hiding answers as well, so it's a good option. I hope the developer will add more features such as a multiple choice quiz which is linked to the hidden answer. In this case, the hidden answer should not be revealed unless the user completes the multiple choice question by selecting/guessing/putting his or her own answer.

Very nice to work with ---- once you get a feel for how it works. Exceptionally well-coded and will do just about anything you need it for.

Does what it says but doesn't play well with elementor GUI editor
I installed and used this plugin on a site I am admin for. They use Elementor for their page edits and I find it is a capable enough editor. However, I am not able to use the GUI components of this Show-Hide plugin within the text editor of Elementor. I was able to manually add the shortcode with options and get the desired effect...including hiding photos, etc. So, 5 stars for that and 6 stars if you get the GUI button to show up in Elementor editor!

Not really collapsing widgets
Hello, I'm sorry but I've set my review to one star cause the plugin isn't really doing what is in the description -namely collapsing ANY widgets- as it is clearly stated here it only does with text/html widget. I'll change my review once this is either removed from the description or actually offered as a functionality -since I've lost my time installing this and trying it, and looking all over on how to make it work, reading through the forum etc...
