Turn Technical Terms into Informative Links

Every website contains terms that may be unfamiliar to some visitors. Without clear explanations, readers often leave the page to search elsewhere, interrupting their experience and reducing engagement.

Glossary Tooltip keeps visitors on your website by providing instant definitions exactly where they are needed. Simply create a glossary term once, and the plugin automatically uses it throughout your content, keeping terminology consistent and easy to maintain.

How Glossary Tooltip Helps Your Website?

A well-organized glossary does more than define terms — it makes your content easier to understand, improves navigation, and helps visitors discover related topics without leaving the page.

Whether you’re publishing tutorials, product documentation, developer guides, educational resources, or industry-specific content.

Glossary Tooltip helps organize information into a structured, searchable knowledge base that grows with your website.

By keeping definitions consistent across your content, the plugin reduces manual work, improves readability, and creates a better experience for both new and returning visitors.

Shortcodes

This plugin includes two shortcodes: [glossary_list] to display your glossary index, and [glossary_exclude] to turn off glossary highlighting on part or all of a specific post or page.

[glossary_list]

Add this shortcode to any post or page to display your full glossary list there — an alphabetically organized (A-Z) list of all your glossary terms, with optional jump navigation and a live search box.

Basic example, showing every glossary term with the default settings:

Supported attributes

• category="all" — Only show terms assigned to one or more Glossary Categories. Use a single category slug (e.g. category="seo"), or several separated by commas to show terms matching any of them (e.g. category="seo,wordpress"). Defaults to all, which shows every term regardless of category.
• orderby="name" — Chooses how terms are sorted within each A-Z letter group. A term never moves out of its own letter group — only the order of terms inside each group, and the order the groups themselves appear in, follow orderby/order together. Accepted values: name (alphabetical), date (publish date), menu_order (the custom order set on the Glossary Terms screen), or rand (random order, reshuffled on every page load — group order is unaffected by order in this case). Defaults to name.
• order="ASC" — Sets the sort direction used by orderby, and also the direction the A-Z letter groups themselves run in. Accepted values: ASC (ascending — groups run A to Z, terms sort oldest to newest for orderby="date") or DESC (descending — groups run Z to A, terms sort newest to oldest for orderby="date"). Defaults to ASC. Has no effect on term order when orderby="rand", and no effect on group order at all when orderby="rand".
• letters="show" — Shows or hides the big A-Z letter heading above each group of terms. Accepted values: show or hide. Defaults to show.
• limit="-1" — The maximum number of terms to display per A-Z letter group — not a total for the whole index. For example, limit="2" shows at most 2 terms under A, at most 2 under B, at most 2 under C, and so on. Use -1 for no limit, showing every matching term. Defaults to -1.
• columns="2" — How many columns to arrange the terms into within each letter group. Accepts a whole number from 1 to 6. Defaults to 2.

More examples

Show only terms from the “SEO” category:

Show terms from either the “SEO” or “WordPress” category:

Sort terms newest-first, with the letter groups themselves running Z to A:

Reverse just the A-Z letter groups to run Z to A while keeping terms inside each group alphabetical:

Show the terms in a random order each time the page loads:

Hide the A-Z letter headings and lay terms out in a single column:

Show at most 3 terms per letter, arranged in 4 columns:

Combine several attributes together — show only “Web Development” terms, newest first, up to 5 per letter, in 3 columns:

[glossary_exclude]

Add this marker to a specific post or page to turn off automatic glossary term highlighting for part or all of that content — the rest of your site keeps highlighting as normal. It doesn’t display anything itself; the marker(s) are simply removed from the page when it renders.

It supports two forms:

Paired form — wraps a specific section and excludes only that section, leaving the rest of the post highlighted normally:

You can use the paired form as many times as you like in the same post — each pair excludes only the content between it.

Single-marker form — placed on its own, excludes everything from that point to the end of the content:

This is useful for pages where you don’t want glossary tooltips to appear in part or all of the content, such as a legal page, a code tutorial, or a post that already discusses a term in detail.

Excluding the entire post has the same effect as setting the “Glossary Highlight” option to Off on that post/page’s edit screen.
