How to: Show/Hide any div box with jQuery in WordPress
If you take a look at my current sidebar (right) and see the heading Google Search you’ll notice that when you click it the Google Search box show’s into view.
Let me show you how this is done.
First make sure that your WordPress site is calling jQuery, buy pluggin this code into our header.php file above the <?php wp_head(); ?> text:
<?php wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); ?>
Then anywhere above the </head >, plug this code in:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
// hides the slickbox as soon as the DOM is ready
jQuery('#toggle-search').hide();
// toggles the slickbox on clicking the noted link
jQuery('a#slick-slidetoggle').click(function() {
jQuery('#toggle-search').slideToggle(400);
return false;
});
});
</script>
That’s simple, huh. Okay now lets write the Search code:
<h2><a href="#" id="slick-slidetoggle">Google Search</a></h2>
<div id="toggle-search" style="padding:10px;">
<form method="get" id="search" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
<div>
<input type="text" value="Enter Keyword" onclick="this.value='';" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="text" name="search-button" id="search-button" value="<?php _e('Search') ?>" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
That’s it.
Okay, so by now you may notice something. You may be thinking “the site looks a lot different”, and you are correct. Over the past few weeks I’ve decided that the site needed a different flare and feel. While many and most site’s these days are popping up with featured posts, and jQuery sliders, I wanted to steer away from that and go old school. While I had some trouble’s activating the theme today which didn’t allow me to fully finish the theme, 99% of it is done.
The site is still build on the powerful Hybrid theme framework. Enjoy.

Child
New theme release: CULT[i]VATE
Doing theme modification and even custom template files has brought me to this point. Today I’ve created my first premium theme, and since I am a huge fan of Hybrid, I decided that a child theme would be an appropriate starting point.
So after some time playing with many options and idea’s I’ve finally released a premium theme. This theme, which I am calling CULT[i]VATE is a child theme.
Unfamiliar with child themes? You may want to check out this post Ian Stewart wrote.
CULT[i]VATE is a child theme of the Hybrid:
Hybrid is a user-friendly, search-engine optimized theme framework, featuring 14 custom page templates and 9 widget-ready areas, allowing you to create any type of site you want.
CULT[i]VATE includes four new widget-ready area’s and one custom accordion widget for one of the area’s. It also includes two front page templates.
This theme is for sale for $12.00 which you can purchase here. Looking for a demo?

Is it possible to hide multi Div boxs with jQuery? and If so how?
frosty
February 18, 2009 at 1:00 pm
There sure is Jimmy,
All you need to do is reuse the code, and change the #id to the new div box #id.
since we already have:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
// hides the slickbox as soon as the DOM is ready
jQuery(‘#toggle-search’).hide();
// toggles the slickbox on clicking the noted link
jQuery(‘a#slick-slidetoggle’).click(function() {
jQuery(‘#toggle-search’).slideToggle(400);
return false;
});
});
We just need to add in:
jQuery(‘#toggle-search’).hide();
jQuery(‘#toggle-tags’).hide(); //option to hide the ID before the page loads
And:
jQuery(‘a#slick-slidetoggle’).click(function() {
jQuery(‘#toggle-search’).slideToggle(400);
return false;
jQuery(‘a#slick-slidetoggle-tag’).click(function() {
jQuery(‘#toggle-tags’).slideToggle(400);
return false;
That’s it for the function. Just make sure you create a div box with the id of
#toggle-tagsEdhuan

You missed out the ” }); ” . Thought I might point it out to save others from some frustration. Thanks for pointing out how to add multiple boxes.
🙂
jQuery(document).ready(function() { // hides the slickbox as soon as the DOM is ready jQuery('#toggle-topic1').hide(); jQuery('#toggle-topic2').hide(); // toggles the slickbox on clicking the noted link jQuery('a#slick-slidetoggle1').click(function() { jQuery('#toggle-topic1').slideToggle(400); return false; }); jQuery('a#slick-slidetoggle2').click(function() { jQuery('#toggle-topic2').slideToggle(400); return false; }); });hamid

Thanks for the info! It still amazes me everything you can do with JQuery.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
One question though. Is it possible to hide the box permanently by maybe setting a cookie, or checking if user is logged in?
Austin
September 2, 2009 at 5:45 pm
There is, you’d have to look into the jQuery cookie tutorial for how to do this.

thx in advance.

hey austin,
this was so nice – one question, i’m not getting this to work with multiple divs on the same click – i want to hide both divs at once, not with two buttons. do you know why this may not work:
// toggles the slickbox on clicking the noted link
jQuery(‘a#slick-slidetoggle’).click(function() {
jQuery(‘#div_a’).slideToggle(400);
jQuery(‘#div_b’).sideToggle(400);
return false;
});
});

Hey there Jonesy,
This is something I’m trying to implement as well; I want to have the more insane parts of my ranting hidden by default, and one button at the top of the post that says “Bring the Crazy”.
The key is the diff between ID and CLASS… you can have multiple things with class “craziness”, but you can only have one thing with ID craziness.
It’s still easy to do though – and no doubt in the last eight months (wrote GT, spotting the date) you’ve already found out how.
I’ll shut up now.

Hi,
Thanks for the great tutorial, and adaptaion for multiple show/hide DIVs, it works great!!
There seems to bit a little problem with the jQuery and Firefox (3.5), whereby if the expandable DIV is at the very bottom of the page, the page flickers (quite harshly) when you hide the DIV (when it is expanded), as the page resizes to become smaller. Can’t see evidence of this problem in Opera or Safari 4.
I guess it’s a problem with Firefox’s capabilities, but is there a way around this problem?

Hi
Ive got the code working, but if I use it on two or three elements they all work, i.e. open and close, when one of the links is clicked.
Im wanting to create this into a shortcode in WP and would like to know how to get them to work independently without listing each separately.
How do i get them to loop and work individually?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Great tip! Much smaller than other solutions!
But what if I want to query some posts in WordPress and don’t want to have to add a bunch of functions for every post, I just want to be able to hide and show every post. You know what I mean?
Would be great if you could help me with that!
Thanks!

Is there a way to make this code work with buttons? I can get it to work just fine with a basic link, but I’d like to create a button that toggles…
Thanks!

Love this! But, what I’d like to do is show/hide the div containing the comments on each of my WordPress posts, on the index.php page, which contains multiple posts. Is there a way to modify the jQuery so that it hides each set of comments? Right now when I try to implement it, each botton (at the bottom of each post) closes just the first set of comments, rather than for the specific post.

Hi Austin,
Thanks for posting this, it works like a charm and it’s (almost) exactly what I need.
If you don’t mind me asking, how could I make it slide from the bottom to the top?
Thanks a lot for your time!
