Hey, @jmomand!

Ava here from Shopify :)

This is something our theme support team can do for you! In order to do so, I'll just need to authenticate you as the account owner first. I've just sent an email to the email attached to your Forums account. If you could reply to me there, we can get started and I can send your information over to the team.

Alternatively, if you are comfortable with some coding yourself, I found a similar forum post here that may help you out! We also have a range of tabbed description apps if you would like to take a look there, they may also help to achieve what you are looking for.

Let me know which direction you would like to go in, happy to assist either way!

Hey @jmomand!

I can see Richard from our theme support team replied to you on July 25th on ticket 13671150, could you take a look to see if you have the email? He has made those changes for you, but he has sent you instructions on how to apply the changes he has made. Let me know if you can see that email, if not I can send it through to you again!

Hello Ava,

Thanks for your reply! I have not received it. Please forward that email to me thanks!

[Ava]

No problem at all, I've just sent that email again! It is ticket 13788189 and it was sent to the email account you use to log into your Forums account. 

Let me know how you get on!

Hi i have received the email. thank you. the only issue i am having is getting to the HTML page on the product page. Richard said to press <> to get to it but it doesn't seem to be working. i'm new to coding so i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong.

Hello, i have figured out how to add the read more button but when i click the button it does not open the rest of the description. it does nothing.

Hey, again! 

I believe yourself and Richard from our Theme Support team were able to resolve this by removing the extra javascript that was added to your theme. I will close off this post for the time being, but feel free to pop back here at any stage! Happy to help :)
