How to use wp_trim_words and read more?

I need to use the wp_trim_words() function, along with a "read more" text that when clicked shows the rest of the content just underneath, like a toggle.

Is this possible?

Try this

<?php
echo wp_trim_words(get_the_content(), 40, '...');
?>

Or

<?php
echo wp_trim_words(get_the_content(), 40, 'Read More');
?>

Or

<?php
echo wp_trim_words(get_the_content(), 40, 'See More');
?>

For tuggle you need to use javascript or jquery. When you will use jquery/script, no need to use wp_trim_words function just use some text with ancher tag(control) and hide/show some content on click.

To display page content you might be using the_content() or echo get_the_content(). But instead you just use below line

echo wp_trim_words(get_the_content(), $string_length, $text_read_more_optional); //example, $string_length=50, $text_read_more_optinal='Read More'

So, i guess your code would look something like this:

if(have_posts()){
    while(have_posts()){
        the_post();
        the_title(); //display title
        echo wp_trim_words(get_the_content(), 100, 'Read More'); //display content
    }
}
