Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Glossary

Of course! Our extensive documentation covers all the features and tips to make the most of the Glossary plugin.

Glossary by Codeat is designed to work seamlessly in any language, supporting both RTL (right-to-left) and LTR (left-to-right) alphabets, as well as non-Latin fonts. We have extensively tested the plugin with the most common languages worldwide, ensuring broad accessibility and reliability. Beyond the most common languages, we have rigorously tested Glossary with the following to ensure optimal performance: Hebrew, Arabic, German, Japanese, Cherokee, Russian and Greek. We welcome all feedback on these and other languages.

Yes! If you own a Premium Glossary license, you can use our plugin with ACF. Glossary will add a checkbox on ACF labeled as Add support for Glossary in your fields. This way, you will be able to activate the filtering in ACF for customizing your fields. Read our documentation for more details.

Yes, Glossary works with both backend and frontend caching. Caching can be applied by a WordPress plugin and/or by your host: whatever the case, you don’t have to worry about compatibility. If you’re using a backend caching plugin, the cache is refreshed every few hours or every day at most, so this won’t pose any problem with Glossary. On the other hand, if you’re using front-end caching and Glossary Premium, you should take a few extra measures. Every time you edit your settings, for example, you change your tooltips' style, you need to clear your frontend cache. The way you clear the cache may vary according to the plugin or hosting you’re using, so please refer to their documentation to learn how to do it.

Yes! If you're running a Multisite install and managing multiple websites, Glossary can automatically serve all the network websites where our plugin is active. To work in this environment, the Glossary plugin requires two elements: One license per domain (or one license for the subdomain). Multisite with a shared database. Read our documentation for more details.

Yes, Glossary is 100% compatible with WPML and Polylang. To make them work together, you will have to set the language in each post type where you wish to execute Glossary. In this way, our plugin will recognize the terms and will manage the respective descriptions accordingly. Read our documentation for more details.

Most of the time, yes, it does. On the other hand, there are dozens of Visual Composer/Page Builders plugins in the WordPress ecosystem, and a large amount of them don’t behave in a standard way, which can represent an issue. Read our documentation for more details.
