Greetings,
I’m using the wp-drudge theme, (jungletelegraph.com) and tooltips pro works perfectly in the link titles.
However wp-drudge uses a custom field (‘blurb’) instead of the excerpt field to display a few lines of summary text below the link title. As a result keywords in this field are not picked up by tooltips pro. Is it possible to enable this custom field instead of (or as well as…) the excerpt field with tooltips pro?
Please see screenshot to show what I mean,
Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the message. 🙂
I understand you are use custom field instead of the excerpt filed, in the crrent time, we did not support tooltips in custom field, we will do a check of how to do this and include this feature in future versions, if you want to customize this section, in tooltips.php, you will find codes:
—————
$enableTooltipsForExcerpt = get_option(“enableTooltipsForExcerpt”);
if ($enableTooltipsForExcerpt ==’YES’)
{
add_action(‘the_excerpt’,’tooltipsInContent’);
add_action(‘the_excerpt’,’showTooltips’);
}
—————
you can replace the_excerpt with your theme APIs — if they have.
Sorry in the current time, We still not sure how to hook customized fields, we need trace into the wordpress cores to find a solution, if you can offer us a temp access of theme download URL, we are happy to do a check for understand it better, thanks, have a happy day. 🙂
Best Regards,
Tomas
