Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ToolTips For Contact Form 7

Yes. Contact Form 7 must be installed and activated for this plugin to work. The [mytooltips] shortcode is processed inside CF7 form templates using the wpcf7_form_elements filter, which is part of the CF7 framework.

Place the [mytooltips]Your hint text[/mytooltips] shortcode anywhere inside your CF7 form template — typically next to a field label or after a field tag. The shortcode renders a small icon on the front end; hovering over it shows the tooltip with your text.

Yes. The shortcode works anywhere inside a CF7 form template, so you can place a tooltip next to text fields, email fields, phone fields, checkboxes, dropdowns, textareas, or any other CF7 field type.

The tooltip style settings (color, icon, width, arrow, offset) are global and apply across all your CF7 forms. The hint text itself is unique per shortcode, so each tooltip can carry different guidance text.

Manual position control (top, bottom, left, right) is a Pro version feature. The free version uses automatic positioning that keeps the tooltip visible within the viewport at all times.

Click-only and mouseenter-plus-focus triggers are Pro version features. The free version triggers tooltips on mouse enter (hover) and click combined.

Uploading a custom icon image is a Pro version feature. The free version lets you choose from 6 built-in question-mark style icons.

Custom icon width and height controls are Pro version features, available when using a custom uploaded icon image.

Yes. The free version includes full color pickers with alpha (transparency) support for both the tooltip background color and the tooltip text color.

Yes. The mouse enter + click dual trigger in the free version ensures tooltips work on touch devices. The Tippy.js library handles tooltip rendering responsively across all screen sizes.
