WordPress Tooltip plugin Users, hope this message finds you are doing well and having a happy day with your family  🙂 We received a support ticket from a wordpress tooltip plugin user, in which the tooltip user said:

Apologies, newbie here. I still can’t figure out how to link or associate a tooltip to a given element. So I’ve created a tooltip and say I want this to appear when the user hovers over a button element (With the label”Add person” and id=”add-person”) on my page. How do I go about this? That is, how do I associate the tooltip I just created with this button element?

We hold the belief that a greater number of users might possess a comparable inquiry. Hence, we intend to openly distribute our answer to all users of WordPress Tooltip. 🙂

What is the purpose of tooltips?

Tooltips are compact popup boxes that provide additional information such as videos, audios, images, Google Maps, QR codes, Wikipedia articles, and text. When users hover over an element on your web pages, such as a word in a post, a search form input box, an image, or a sidebar widget, tooltips seamlessly appear to offer engaging details. The WordPress Tooltip plugin grants the capability to apply tooltip effects to any element within WordPress posts, menus, comments, contact forms, WooCommerce products, bbPress forums, BuddyPress activities, and more. This plugin boasts an array of captivating components and addons, including the delightful Bullets Screen feature. 🙂

2. In the above diagram, you’ll notice a metabox labeled “Tooltips for Forms.” However, it should actually be titled “Tooltips for Classes.” We made this change because we observed that the most common use cases involved adding tooltips to form elements or fields using CSS classes or IDs. This alteration is intended to help users understand the metabox purpose as tooltips for forms.

3. Simply enter the CSS class or CSS ID in the “Tooltip for Forms” input box where you want to apply the tooltip effect:

For example, tooltips for class:
.input_box_1
or tooltips for ID:
#text_box_2
