Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Text Hover
The plugin currently makes use of the standard HTML tag abbr to specify the terms and their hover text. Browsers have default handling and display of abbr. It's possibly that the CSS for your theme is overriding the default display. I use the following in my site's styles.css file to ensure it displays for me in the manner I prefer (which, by the same token, you can use more CSS formatting to further format the hover terms) : abbr { text-decoration: underline dotted #000; }
No. The plugin filters post content on-the-fly.
Yes, if they include strings that you've now defined as terms.
By default, the plugin filters the post content, post excerpt fields, widget text, and optionally comments and comment excerpts. You can use the 'c2c_text_hover_filters' filter to modify that behavior (see Hooks section).
The easiest way would be to add "the_title" (or some other filter's name) as a line in the "More filters" setting. That setting allows any additional specified filters to be processed for text hovers. You can also programmatically add to the list of filters that get processed for text hover terms. See the Hooks section for an example.
By default, yes. There is a setting you can change to make it case insensitive. Or you can use the 'c2c_text_hover_case_sensitive' filter (see Hooks section). Note that the option applies to all terms/abbreviations. If you want to selectively have terms/acronyms be case insensitive, you should leave the case sensitive setting checked and add a listing for each case variation you wish to support.
By default, yes. There is a setting you can change so that only the first occurrence of the term in the post gets hovered. Or if you are a coder, you can use the 'c2c_text_hover_replace_once' filter (see Hooks section).
Yes, but only if you have the pretty tooltips enabled (via settings or the filter). The class you want to style in your custom CSS is '.text-hover-qtip'.
Yes. While this plugin is compatible with many other plugins that modify post and widget text, this plugin has explicit built-in support for Advanced Custom Fields and Elementor, which provide additional content areas. This plugin provides hooks that can be used to enable compatibility with other plugins and themes. If you know the name of the filter provided by a plugin, you can add it to the "More filters" setting to have its value processed for text hover.
The plugin's settings page is found at "Settings" -> "Text Hover" in the admin sidebar menu. In order to see that link in the menu and to access the plugin's settings page to configure the plugin, you must be logged in as an administrator. More specifically, you must be a user with the 'manage_options' and 'unfiltered_html' capabilities, which by default are capabilities of the 'administrator' role. If you have a custom role, or your administrator role has been customized, such that both capabilities are not assigned to you, then you cannot configure the plugin.
