Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Glossary Tooltip – Highlight Terms Automatically and Show Tooltips

No. Once a glossary term is published, the plugin automatically detects and highlights matching words across the post types you've selected in the settings.

Add the [glossary_list] shortcode to any post or page, or select a glossary index page under Glossary → Settings → Glossary Index Page. The index lists terms alphabetically, with optional A–Z navigation and live search.

Yes. Every post, page, and supported post type has its own Glossary Highlight and Tooltip settings, each set to Default, On, or Off, independent of the site-wide settings.

Wrap the text with [glossary_exclude]...[/glossary_exclude] to skip just that section, or place a single [glossary_exclude] marker to skip everything after it. To exclude an entire post, set its "Glossary Highlight" option to Off instead.

Yes. Each post or page has a Tooltip setting — Default, On, or Off — that overrides the site-wide tooltip setting for that content only.

Yes. Every glossary term has its own visibility controls to exclude it from auto-highlighting and/or the glossary index, without affecting any other terms.

Yes. Under Glossary → Settings → General, choose to highlight each term once, a set number of times, every Nth occurrence, or every occurrence.

Yes. Add synonyms or alternate spellings to any glossary term, and each one will be recognized, highlighted, and linked back to the same term.

No. By default, the plugin skips headings (H1–H6) and text already inside a link, so your existing structure stays intact. Both behaviors can be changed in the settings.

You can optionally exclude glossary terms from your site's internal search results under Glossary → Settings → General. This has no effect on Google or other external search engines.
