Hi, dear WordPress Tooltip users, I hope you are doing well and having happy weekend with your family We have received a support ticket from an amazing wordpress tooltip user: “Is there a way to selectively show tooltips from specific categories?”, he said:
For example, I write articles about different card-based video games. I want to add cards as tooltips for each of these games. There will inevitably be some overlap with card names, and I wanted to exclusively show cards for each specific game the article is about. I only want “Hearthstone” tooltips to load on Hearthstone articles, same for “Slay the Spire”, and so on.
I would love to selectively create rules for which the Tooltips are shown. For example, on pages with “hearthstone” in the URL, only show tooltips with the category “Hearthstone”.
I know that you can group tooltips by categories, but they don’t have any purpose besides backend organization.
Sorry, this is the first time we heard this kind of question, currently, we have no a function to disable / enable tooltip effect based on the words in a URL, I guess the number of users who have this need maybe relatively small. However, In wordpress tooltips pro plus, we have a workaround to achieve your requirement:
Is there a way to selectively show wordpress tooltips from specific categories?
1: Login to wordpress tooltip plugin site
2: Click “download” menu item to download wordpress tooltip plugin, it will be a wordpress plugin zip file.
3: Login your wordpress site as wordpress administrator
4: In your wordpress dashboard, please click “Plugins” menu please
5: If you installed wordpress tooltips free plugin or old wordpress pro plugin, please deactivate it and delete the old wordpress tooltip plugin
6: Then in the wordpress “Plugins” panel, please click “add new” link at the top of the plugins panel to install the wordpress gif tooltip plugin which downloaded from tooltips.org
7: Upload the wordpress tooltips plugin zip file which you downloaded from wordpress tooltip pro plus plugin site
8: Activate the new wordpress tooltip plugin version which you installed via plugins menu
9: Then create a new wordpress post or edit a existed wordpress post
10: In wordpress editor, you will find a new metabox “Disable specific tooltip categories?”, it looks like this:
You can see in the “Disable specific tooltip categories” metabox, you can enter categories ids in the input box, split by comma “,” — to exclude specific wordpress tooltip categories on this page
11: Once click publish button in the wordpress editor, then in the front end, you will find tooltips effect of the tooltip terms which in these specific tooltip categories has been removed
By this method, in the wordpress posts editor, you can selectively show tooltips with the category “Hearthstone” 🙂
I hope this have a little help 🙂
Thanks, have a blessed day with your family 🙂
Best Regards,
WordPress tooltips plugin support
