Dear @Play Havenz, Thank you for your inquiry. We wholeheartedly agree that incorporating a "Read More" button for large product descriptions on e-commerce websites is crucial. We're excited to share that our recent update introduces several enhancements, including the integration of Header, Footer, Product Archive, Single Product, and Footer builders based on Elementor. These updates come with an array of new Elementor widgets, prioritizing code quality and speed optimization. Notably, we've incorporated Dynamic tags into our theme, including custom ones, to enhance functionality (https://developers.elementor.com/docs/dynamic-tags/). To address your specific request, you can now seamlessly implement a limited product description with a "Read More" toggle directly on the Single Product page using Elementor. Here's a step-by-step guide to achieving this on your website: 1. Open the Single Product layout builder. 2. Locate the "Toggle Text" XStore widget (https://prnt.sc/76D67FE2DDTl). 3. Add the widget to your page (https://prnt.sc/Xp512De5mMPr) and click on the Dynamic tags icon for the Short Description content. 4. Choose the Post Excerpt (https://prnt.sc/ZEpiV4hKeGJE). 5. Access the Dynamic tag Settings and set the maximum length of the excerpt (e.g., 30) (https://prnt.sc/sLJnOI_5LHS9). 6. Repeat the process for Long content without excerpt limitations (https://prnt.sc/fQPjckMwn0ae). 7. The desired outcome will be achieved, with the default state displaying the limited description and the option to reveal more (default state screenshot -> https://prnt.sc/fLWV1MDInjSq), after clicking "Show more" button screenshot -> https://prnt.sc/8YOACL1s9ay6). 8. Additionally, you can customize the toggle button's style, sizes, typography, etc. It's important to note that each product will have its own limited short description, ensuring flexibility without hardcoded limitations from specific products only. We invite you to explore all the new features in our changelog -> https://xstore.8theme.com/update-history/. Should you have any further questions or require assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help! Best regards, Jack Richardson

This only works with "short description" which is pretty much useless... we need this feature with "long description" and at this moment, it's not working with long description because the dinamic tag doesn't have the setting for that (text/character limit).

I subscribe to this, it's a need it feature.
