Main issue: show the full product description by default in the Broadcast theme, removing the need to click “Read More” on product pages.
Recent attempts: CSS was suggested to hide the “Read More” controls. It removed the text but did not expand the description, which remained truncated.
Additional request: make the reviews accordion open by default. CSS was provided to force the accordion body to display, and the requester expressed thanks.
Technical context: the theme’s product template (Shopify Liquid) includes logic that may truncate descriptions when tabs are enabled, splitting content at “###### ” and rendering only the first segment. An accordion is a collapsible content section; Liquid is Shopify’s templating language.
Evidence: screenshots were used to show the sentence being cut off and the full text after clicking “Read More”. A product page link was provided for reference.
Status and next steps: the helper requested the complete product template code to diagnose; the requester supplied section/snippet code. No final fix has been confirmed; investigation into the Liquid template’s description logic is ongoing.
Hey!
Can anyone help me remove the need to click “read more” to reveal the full product description on product pages?
For example here: https://slowageing.co.uk/collections/slow-ageing-essentials-face/products/essential-facial-essence?variant=40568073846967
The full description is hidden until you click “READ MORE” I would like the full description to load straight away.
Please try this css class
.accordion-content__actions, .tab-content__actions {
display: none !important;
}
Amazing! that was super fast thank you!
@dmwwebartisan Do you know if its possible to make the reviews accordion to display as open as default too? - same product page
Please try this css class
#shopify-section-template--15093764718775__reviews .accordion__body {
display: block !important;
padding-bottom: 1rem;
overflow: hidden;
}
Thank you!!!

Hi @dmwwebartisan unfortunately I just realised this is hiding the “read more” text, but it is still not showing the full description.
In the example below, you can see the sentence has been cut short.
With the code:
Without it after clicking “Read More”:
Please provide complete code of sections/product-templete.liquid file.
So I can cross check.
Sorry, I missed this message @dmwwebartisan , Section + Snippets code below:
