Custom control for WordPress hover tooltips
Custom Title Tooltip is the PRO edition for websites that want to keep hover tooltips while giving them a more controlled visual presentation. It is suited to designers, accessibility-conscious developers, and site owners who want tooltip styling to fit the rest of a WordPress website instead of relying on the browser’s default appearance.
The related free plugin behavior removes native browser tooltips by replacing title attributes with aria-label attributes. Custom Title Tooltip takes a different approach for sites that prefer to retain tooltips. Its central purpose is to keep the tooltip experience and provide controls for customizing how those tooltips look and where they appear.
Adjust the tooltip appearance
Custom Title Tooltip provides visual controls for the main aspects of tooltip styling. You can adjust the colors, font size, radius, and tooltip position, then save the settings from the WordPress administration area.
- Keep hover tooltips visible.
- Customize tooltip colors.
- Set the tooltip font size.
- Adjust the tooltip radius.
- Control the tooltip position.
- Save a presentation that better matches the site’s theme.
These controls make the plugin useful when native browser tooltips are too plain, distracting, or visually inconsistent with a website. Instead of removing every tooltip, you can retain the supporting text and shape its presentation to suit the design.
Useful for design and accessibility workflows
Designers can use the available style controls to create a more consistent interface for elements that expose title-based information. Accessibility-conscious developers can choose a tooltip presentation while considering how supporting information is delivered to visitors. Minimalist site owners can also use the plugin when they want a cleaner, more deliberate hover treatment rather than an uncontrolled browser default.
The plugin is focused on tooltip appearance and positioning. The available controls cover the visual details identified for the PRO edition: colors, font size, radius, and position. This keeps the setup centered on a small set of practical design decisions.
Configure it in WordPress
After installing and activating Custom Title Tooltip, open Custom Title Tooltip in the WordPress admin menu. Configure the available style options, including colors, font size, radius, and position, then save the changes. The configured presentation can then be used for the site’s hover tooltips.
This setup is intended for sites that want more control than the default browser tooltip provides. It does not require the zero-configuration approach associated with the free Hide Titles On Hover plugin; instead, the PRO edition is configured through its WordPress settings.
Choose a controlled tooltip experience
Custom Title Tooltip is a focused paid option for keeping tooltips while making their appearance more compatible with a site’s visual direction. By bringing color, typography, shape, and placement into the WordPress configuration workflow, it gives designers and developers a direct way to refine hover feedback without treating native tooltips as the only available presentation.
