What’s new in DZS Tooltip 1.02

Version 1.02 · May 2, 2023 Latest

What it does

Some content needs a little extra explanation: a technical term, a product detail or a note about an image. Putting all of that into the main text makes pages harder to read. Tooltips let you keep the page clean while still giving readers the extra information when they want it. This plugin handles that job without any coding, so you can add small pop-up notes to posts and pages as you write them.

The workflow centers on a shortcode generator. You select the text or image, click a button, and the plugin creates the tooltip shortcode for you, so there is nothing to memorize. Images can also get tooltips based on their existing title or alt attributes. You can adjust colors, fonts and styles, and the plugin positions each tooltip automatically so it stays clear of the content around it. It is responsive and retina ready, and it is built to work with any properly coded WordPress theme.

Features

Shortcode generator

Select text or an image, click a button, and the generator inserts the tooltip shortcode for you, so you never have to type shortcodes by hand.

Tooltips from image attributes

Wrap images with tooltips that use their existing title or alt attributes, which saves you from writing the tooltip text a second time.

Custom colors, fonts and styles

Change the colors, fonts and styles of your tooltips so they match your site branding and sit naturally alongside the rest of your design.

Automatic positioning

Tooltips are placed automatically in a spot where they do not cover the surrounding content, which keeps the page readable when a tooltip opens.

Hover or click triggers

Choose whether a tooltip appears when visitors hover over an element or when they click it, depending on how you want people to interact.

Responsive and retina ready

Tooltips display clearly on desktops, tablets and smartphones, including high resolution screens, so they stay sharp on every device.

Works with standard themes

The plugin is designed to work with any properly coded WordPress theme, so you can add tooltips without changing your current theme.

Questions about DZS Tooltip

Do I need to know how to code to add tooltips?

No. The shortcode generator does the work. You select the text or image you want, click a button, and the tooltip shortcode is created and inserted for you. You can then adjust the look through the plugin's style settings for colors, fonts and styles.

Can I add tooltips to images as well as text?

Yes. Besides text, you can wrap images with tooltips. The plugin can use an image's existing title or alt attribute as the tooltip content, which is handy if your images already have descriptive attributes filled in.

Will the tooltips work with my current theme?

The plugin is built to be compatible with any properly coded WordPress theme. Since you can customize the colors, fonts and styles, you can also make the tooltips fit the look of the theme you already use.

Can visitors open tooltips on mobile devices?

The tooltips are responsive and retina ready, so they display clearly on smartphones and tablets. You can also set tooltips to open on click instead of hover, which suits touch screens where hovering is not available.
