Yes, the WordPress Tooltip plugin supports the use of glossary shortcodes to display a glossary category separately. We believe more users have similar requests, so we would like to write a detailed document for WordPress Tooltip users here publicly. 🙂
Customizing Your WordPress Glossary: How to Filter by Category
1: Please open tooltips.org, then click the download wordpress tooltip menu item in the top menu bar to download the lastest version of the wordpress tooltip plugin
2: Login your wordpress as admin, upload wordpress tooltips plugin and activate it 🙂
3: Click “Posts” the menu item in wordpress dashboard, edit wordpress post
4: In the WordPress editor, please insert the glossary shortcode to display the glossary filter by tooltip category using the category ID in the following way:
[ glossary catid=’1′ ]
Then, the glossary table will only show glossary terms that belong to the tooltip category with ID = 1
[ glossary catid=’1,10,100′ ]
The glossary table will show glossary terms of the specified glossary categories in the WordPress tooltip category, using category IDs ‘1’, ‘10’, and ‘100’.
5: In the WordPress editor, please insert the glossary shortcode to display the glossary filter by tooltip category using the category name in the following way:

Conclusion:
A WordPress tooltip glossary user may wish to display the glossary by category ID or category name for several reasons:
Organized Content: By categorizing glossary terms, users can easily navigate and find relevant information. This organization helps in managing large glossaries where terms can be grouped by topics or themes.
Improved User Experience: Displaying terms by category allows users to focus on specific areas of interest without being overwhelmed by unrelated terms. This targeted approach enhances the overall user experience.
SEO Benefits: Categorizing glossary terms can improve search engine optimization (SEO) by allowing search engines to better understand the structure and relevance of the content. This can lead to better visibility in search results.
Customization: Users may want to customize the display of their glossary based on their audience’s needs. For example, a website focused on medical terminology might want to display terms related to specific medical fields.
Easier Maintenance: Managing a glossary by categories can simplify the process of adding, editing, or removing terms. It allows for more straightforward updates and organization.
Overall, this feature can significantly enhance the functionality and usability of wordpress glossary on a WordPress tooltip site.
