Or if you hope show glossary terms from multiple glossary categories, use wordpress glossary shortcode like this:
[glossary catid='5,10,12'] to show glossary terms of specified glossary categories in wordpress tooltip category, by category id ‘5’, ’10’, ’12’
4: It is hard to remember glossary category id? Easy, you can use category name, do it like this:
