Tooltipy (tooltips for WP)

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 76% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   This plugin does what I was looking for. Great tooltips without a lot of unnecessary features. I had a problem on the mobile site during setup. I received super-fast support. It was completely resolved, even though it was cache-related. It’s a perfect solution; it’s really great that the plugin developer actually looked under the hood and beyond their own plugin. I’m really very, very happy with it!

   Hi, since a few days I get the following error line when using form submit under Formidable Forms on my site, where Tooltips is installed. Warning: Attempt to read property “ID” on null in /…/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-tooltips/tooltips.php on line 1371 The error would disappear if I deactivate the Tooltip plugin. Anybody with similar issue or a solution? MH This topic was modified 1 year ago by mhinparis.

   This is not a tooltip plugin, this is a glossary-term-helper plugin that makes use of tooltips.It’s decent as an auto glossary-term-helper plugin. It’s pointless as a tooltip plugin.

   Sehr gute Arbeit. Bitte noch erweitern für abgerundete Ecken direkt im Backend. TOP-Arbeit!

   If you are looking for a glossary plugin that a) automatically adds tooltips to your content and b) renders a complete glossary through a shortcode: This plugin is what you are looking for. It works out of the box, but allows controlling the automatic placement of tooltips in many aspects. If you don’t mind that backend lacks some polish (wording, typography, layout), then this plugin is for you.
