Build a clearer knowledge base
CM Tooltip Glossary Premium and its Pro, Pro+, and Ecommerce editions help WordPress websites explain technical language through linked glossary terms, dedicated definition pages, indexes, and interactive tooltips. The plugin is designed for sites that publish specialized information and want visitors to understand products, services, documentation, or industry terminology without leaving the page.
When a glossary term appears in a post or page, the plugin can identify it and add a link to its dedicated glossary page. It can also display an instant tooltip when a visitor hovers over the linked term. This creates a connected reference system in which definitions remain close to the surrounding content while each term can also have its own page.
Organize terms and definitions
Use the plugin to build a dictionary of terms that grows with your content. Definitions can include structured content, images, and files, allowing a knowledge base to present more than plain text. An adaptable index catalogs glossary terms across the website and gives visitors a convenient way to browse definitions.
Paid capabilities described for the editions include automatic AI-powered term discovery, support for abbreviations and variations, synonyms, and multiple glossaries. The plugin also supports multiple index templates, giving you more ways to organize and present a larger collection of terms. Pro features include unlimited term capacity, advanced pagination, bulk CSV import and export, flexible permalink control, custom post type integration, and Advanced Custom Fields integration.
Enhance tooltips and integrations
Depending on the paid edition, glossary presentations can include audio and video tooltips. The source also lists Wikipedia support, Google Translate and Merriam-Webster integrations, and ChatGPT integration. Pro+ and Ecommerce editions include additional multilingual features such as Google Translate integration. UTF-8 support helps the plugin handle international characters, and compatibility with WPML and other multilingual plugins is described in the supplied information.
Central settings can control tooltip behavior across pages, posts, and the homepage. You can use the [cm_tooltip_parse] shortcode when specific content needs to be processed. Existing excerpts can also be used as tooltip content, helping maintain a consistent experience across the site.
