Biggest opportunity: Add “tooltip” to your wp.org tags. You rank #15 for it without listing it, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed it's a slot worth spending.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 3.9K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Blocks plugin keeps 2.1%, across 1,578 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Blocks plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

I am myself block plugins author, and after considering to use a plugin of mine for the purpose of putting tooltips in a table, I found this one better fit admin interface for this purpose. Also full source code provided! Good job! This topic was modified 1 year, 2 months ago by Lovro Hrust.

Отличный “лёгкий” плагин! Единственное замечание – хотелось бы ещё иметь возможность регулировать междустрочный интервал в тексте подсказки.

Great plugin the function work perfectly well and lightweight! However, when i added the add_filter in [Code Snippet Pro] (run the code in both frontend and admin) as descriebd to customize my own color style , it show noting in frontend. I wonder if i missed anything. add_filter(‘izbet_style_text_color’, function() { return ‘#4CC4A4’; });add_filter(‘izbet_style_border_color’, function() { return ‘#247DE0’; });add_filter(‘izbet_style_tooltip_text_color’, function() { return ‘#4CC4A4’; });add_filter(‘izbet_style_tooltip_background_color’, function() { return ‘rgba(0, 010, 030, .85)’; });add_filter(‘izbet_style_tooltip_font_size’, function() { return ‘.8rem’; });add_filter(‘izbet_style_tooltip_padding’, function() { return ‘.6rem’; });add_filter(‘izbet_style_tooltip_border_radius’, function() { return ‘.3rem’; });

It is really an amazing tool. Very easy to use. Thank you developer. Please add some way to increase the font size of the content if possible.

After several hours wasted looking for a simple title-box on hover for links, here’s the miracle: I found this great plugin that does exactly what it says it does. It is very useful, clean, effective. I’m surprised he’s so little famous. I recommend it and hope it has more success. Thanks so much for developing this!
