Hi Dear Users of WordPress Tooltip Plugin! Hope this message find you are doing well and having happy days with your family, We just released WordPress Tooltip plugin version 14.5.4, to support custom excerpt in tooltip editor and use tooltip custom excerpt in glossary table 🙂

How to Set a Custom Excerpt in WordPress Tooltip Plugin?

We get a wordpress tooltip user’s ticket:

I am trying out your tooltips plugin and have a question regarding custom excerpts.

How do I set a custom excerpt in tooltips? I do not see the field in the tooltips post admin for setting a custom excerpt.

I can see how to set the option to display excerpts in the on the archive page but this generates the excerpt from character count. I want to be able to use my own custom excerpts.

Also, is it possible to then have the custom excerpt show on the front end on the tooltip rather than the entire content of the tooltip post?

And the amazing wordpress tooltip user give us a glossary page URL 🙁

We replied:

We will develop a new pro version to support display custom excerpts in tooltips editor. 🙂

So in the wordpress tooltip glossary plugin 14.5.4, you can use custom tooltip excerpt in glossary:

1: Please login in your wordpress admin

2: Click “Tooltips” menu item

3: Click “Add New” sub menu item

4: You will find you can custom tooltip excerpt, it looks like this:

6: Then please click “Glossary Settings” sub menu item, you will open “Glossary Settings” panel, it looks like this:

7: In the option “Glossary Excerpt or Full Content” in glossary settings panel, please select “use glossary excerpt in glossary pages”

8: Click the blue “Save Changes” button

9: Then in the wordpress glossary page in the front end, you will find in the glossary content column, wordpress glossary plugin will display the custom excerpt of the tooltip term for users

Also we get another amazing user’s feedback, in which he said in “Fade Speed of Tooltip Opacity” option in the tooltip style panel, he hope can enter 0 as the value of “Fade Speed of Tooltip Opacity” option,  we fixed it in this wordpress tooltip plugin version too,  it looks like this:
