Boost SEO and UX With One WordPress Plugin

CM Tooltip Glossary is the premiere WordPress knowledge base plugin to host a glossary of terms or information repository on your WordPress site.

If you’re seeking to build an online dictionary, encyclopedia, wiki, lexicon, or glossary within your online community, this is the most robust and best reviewed plugin out there!

WordPress Glossary Plugin Description

The Glossary Index Page

A customizable index page is automatically created by the plugin. Here all the terms for that glossary will be listed. Term pages can be accessed directly through the glossary index or by clicking on a term when it appears in the site content.

Sort Terms Alphabetically

Dedicated Term Page

Each term in the glossary or online dictionary has its own term page.

This page includes the term definition, media, and content from external dictionary and thesaurus sources (when using the necessary APIs).

Glossary Term Page

Synonyms, Abbreviations and Variations

Each encyclopedia or dictionary term and popup tooltip supports synonyms, abbreviations, and variations.

This enhances the scope of a term search within your content and gives you the flexibility to use a term in many different ways.

Synonyms Input Area on a Term Page

Term Category

Assign each term to a category to create custom taxonomies for your online dictionary, wiki, or encyclopedia.

By using different categories, you can easily create multiple indexes, each with their own dedicated index page.

Display the glossary index of any category on a page or post using shortcode.

Customizable Popup Tooltip

Once a glossary term has been added, each occurrence of the term will be highlighted in any page or post.

Pop Up Tooltip Display

When encountering a glossary term in your site’s content, simply hover over the word to display a pop-up tooltip.

Complete with a term definition summary, media, or content from external resources like Wikipedia or Merriam-Webster, this is a simple and fast way for users to access supplementary information without leaving your page or post.

Clicking the term will navigate to the term’s page, where users can view a the full term definition, additional media, related terms or related articles.

Embed Content

Easily embed images, audio, and video files on the term page and/or term tooltip content.

Aggregate content from external sources such as Wikipedia, Merriam-Webster or Glosbe Dictionary and Thesaurus with a free API key. Display their definitions on the term page or in the term tooltip.

Index Customization

Customize your glossary index with an alphabetical navigation bar, fast live filter, easy share social media thumbnails and many other user friendly options.

Choose from 12 different index page design templates to display your online dictionary content in a way that fits your site and content type.

Tooltip Customization

The plugin’s tooltips are fully customizable. Set the tooltip font, font size, tooltip dimensions, border, opacity, color, and more.

Enable or disable tooltips on individual pages or posts.

Parse image alt attribute text for terms. When found, a tooltip of that term will display when hovering over the image.

Language Support and Localization

The plugin is fully WPML compliant and supports all UTF-8 characters. Create a dictionary or glossary in any language, including Eastern languages or non space separated languages.

All frontend labels can be easily changed to any language so the user interface will speak your language. This also includes the alphabetic index page list.

Plugin Label Settings

For multilingual sites, the plugin is further integrated with Google Translate. With this free API key, you can translate specific words or phrases from a source language to a target language.

Translated terms and definitions can be displayed in both or a single language and enabled or disabled for individual terms.

Glossary Terms & SEO

Glossary term pages are all linked together through a related terms mechanism and via the central index page.

This helps to create a strong infrastructure that enhances your site's SEO by quickly and continuously building a network of internal links.

Related Terms and Articles on a Term page

Term pages can display related terms and articles that use the glossary term, helping lead users deeper into your site content.

By providing useful term definitions or supporting media in tooltips, users won’t need to rely on external resources to understand your content, no matter how technical it may be.

This means they will understand your content better and stay on your page longer, making both them and Google happy.

Great product for English learners!
I use this glossary tool to teach English to foreign students. It’s great for this purpose! I’m using the free version.One enhancement that really add to the value would be to allow the glossary entry to be various forms of a word such that ALL forms would be automatically tool-tipped.Glossary Entry Example: provision#provisions#provisioned#provisioning Definition: [goes here]

Excellent plugin, ideal for websites using uncommon/specialis terms and Acronyms
I run a website that relies on users understanding the meaning of the terminology used throughout, without sending them off to a Glossary page every few sentences. This plugin makes it seamlessly simple, by adding tooltip-style pop-up glossary definitions…. What’s more, the plugin offers the additional option of linking the glossary entries to a separate page for more in-depth definitions and links to websites that give more information and links to external/internal websites, pages and resources. This mean that the user can view the concise glossary tooltip definition by hovering over the term, and then visit the in-depth description page by clicking on it.

Excellent & intuitive functionality. Terrific support
I’m new to using WordPress and plugins for it. CM Tooltips Glossary has been a really pleasant surprise–I can use it! The interface is pretty intuitive–I simply explore different parts of it and find what I need. When I can’t find something, I e-mail to Support and get my questions answered within 24 hours (sometimes a little longer on the weekend). Support has even added features that I’ve requested!I’m building an encyclopedia of quantum physics, and the Tooltips Glossary plugin does what I need. Prior to buying it, I had looked into all the alternatives–and this is really the only plugin available that does what I need.I’m EXTREMELY happy with this plugin!

Great Plugin
I’m still in the process of setting up my glossary of stock market terms, but so far I have been able to do everything I want to do, except for the linking of glossary terms to the tooltip itself, which I’ve been told by support affects the performance of the plugin too much. But otherwise I’m very happy. The tooltips look professional and everything links perfectly. I’m also able to add videos and images to glossary terms, which is very helpful. And it allows you to add synonyms that automatically appear in the glossary index page. I tried quite a few glossary plugins before this one, and this is the only one that offers to most in terms of functionality. And support is very responsive. Overall, I’m happy, thanks Creative Minds.

Très utile et fonctionne parfaitement
Vraiment un bon plugin pour gérer un Wiki automatique. Juste être prudent lors des mises à jour, vérifier que toutes les options sont bien configurées et ne pas oublier de réactiver la licence. Les options de configuration dans la version Ecommerce sont vraiment nombreuses et peuvent convenir à tous les besoins. Si vous voulez voir un exemple d’utilisation c’est ici : [Link redacted]

The Best Glossary Plugin
If you are about to do research on the best glossary plugin, let me save you some time. The CM Tooltip Glossary plugin is by far the best. Let me explain why… I researched about 10 of the most popular plugins for my site [Link redacted], I looked up each one, researched its functionality and then finally decided on CM Tooltip Glossary. Here’s why… most people are simply looking for a way to list out a few terms. However, this is missing the larger picture, which is quickly building a massive link structure for SEO. This is what CM Tooltip Glossary does amazing. While other plugins simply list the terms in a grid format, CM Tooltip gives you the ability to automatically create links to the glossary pages from existing blog or article pages. This means within seconds, you have the ability to create hundreds of backlinks to the term page from within your site. It also offers a variety of customization options for the terms and how they are displayed when you hover over them. You can easily add multiple sources to each term, which again, is a great way to strengthen your SEO. Bottom line: If you’re going to build a glossary, you might as well build on that creates value other than listing a few terms on your website.

Great plugin, excellent support
This is a first class plugin with a very extensive feature set. I use it as part of a small knowledge base and it is a tremendous timesaver. If anything, the hover activated tooltip part of the plugin, although very well implemented, is secondary to some of the other features – especially the automated term highlighting and the inclusion of related articles at the foot of each page (all customizable on a page/post by page/post basis) .I did run into one or two fairly minor issues related to integration of the plugin with the WP theme that I am using. Support to resolve these issues went beyond excellent.Highly recommended on all counts.

I tried several glossary plugins, most of them free. None of them offered the feature set that Tooltip Glossary offered. The configuration panel offers a huge array of customizations. It works like advertised, and the support is fast and friendly. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic plugin with great support
We’re using this to add references to a field guide. It works wonderfully. Support experience: We were experiencing an issue where occasionally, one of the references would break and show the HTML with the entirety of the information. I opened a ticket and set messed up providing them access to help troubleshoot. However, just by my description, they were able to provide the fix (to my custom code) to address the issue.Long story short, we have a custom function that customizes our post titles breaking plant names into name, genus & family. It was breaking the code for the glossary entries. They provided the code to exclude the Glossary titles from our function.It works wonderfully!

Does the job well, excellent support
A slick, straightforward and highly manageable way of adding tooltip popups to sites. Very customisable: you can tell it only to highlight the first instance of a word or phrase on a page, for example, or to omit certain words or whole pages from pop-ups.The tool also builds its own glossary, which can be extensively styled. The only drawback is that if this glossary page shows the definitions in full, then rolling over the titles pops up exactly the same definition as readers are already viewing – and there’s no way to turn this off for titles alone. Otherwise, an excellent tool with terrific customer support.

Fantastic Support
I had been using their plugin for a year, but then began encountering a few issues. I sent them an email and they helped out straight away. They were absolutely fantastic and sorted everything. I would highly recommend them.

The plugin is a perfect fit for our church website … we’re working to reduce the amount of text the visitors have to wade through, by moving much of that text into Tooltips. It’s doing the job for us very nicely!8/29/15 Still a great Plugin, with responsive, professional tech support!

Powerful plugin, lots of options
It’s not the most intuitive plugin but it’s very powerful and the developer has put a lot of thought into how it works. I noted some accessibility issues (WCAG 2.0 AA criteria) and the developer has been responsive to my suggestion of making the plugin compliant. They have committed to fixing this in future releases 🙂

New version CM tooltip 3.1.7 : Great plugin and awesome support
Since I installed Twenty Thirteen switched from Hueman, CM tooltip plugin stopped showing on the page. It still appeared as float but not on the actual page.I contacted the CM tooltip team and they released up-date so it won’t send auto RSS feed…..this does not make any sense to a newbie like me but their quick response to my problem was great!!!As I have English/Japanese site for Japanese food recipes and recommended places in Japan. I wanted to have cooking and food terminologies on my site.This plugin has been a great way to do what I wanted.If anybody is interested making a glossary like that, this can be an example 😉My site is ; [Link redacted]

Pro user – Does what it ays
We’re currently pro users (licensed users) and recently had some hiccups when we upgraded WordPress to 4.2.2. In the end they were all items on our end / our responsibility, but support was extremely fast in responding (and also very non judgmental). The plugin is very robust and gives you a lot of control.

Best Tooltip Plugin on Market & Dev Is Very Responsive
Have looked at all tooltip plugins on market and this one works the best for us, by far. The dev is VERY responsive and has gone out of his way at least four or five times to fix issues we were having, some being conflicts with other plugins that were coded poorly …. He has even gone as far as to update cm tooltips to prevent said conflicts from occurring…. even though it was the fault of another plugin. One of the most responsive plugin developers I’ve worked with, by far!

outstanding – features * admin interface * styling * support
This is just BLISS for information workers, teachers, researchers, a FAQ provider, a business directory, a project knowledgebase. OUTSTANDING – FEATURES * ADMIN INTERFACE * STYLING * SUPPORTI have searched for years and years to find the best way to present articles online and at last at last I have it. Tooltips Glossary is very well presented on the admin side with plenty of admin info notes. It has tons of options so I can be fussy and get what I want. Heaven. The really huge thing is its core – the global sitewide links which attach to every instance of the titles of its articles (Terms). So wherever that word occurs, it becomes a link, and the link opens its article. Not only that, a hover on the term gives the summary excerpt (a definition perhaps) or the first paragraph depending how you set it. Yet more – I can add synonyms like a plural, or variation of the word, or an alias name for a person. So when all these show up they will all link to the original article. (I have to use a small workaround for author names e.g. Smith, John; but it’s no big deal)The Glossary – FAQ Knowledgebase Dictionary Encyclopedia Encyclopaedia Directory Index or whatever you want to name it – has its own index page which lists all the titles as links A-Z in various styles I can choose. The Glossary has Categories so David the Dev has just added a way to have category index pages too. There are also Tags. Then there are Related Articles links and a whole lot more.Styling is good and there’s an extra plugin for styling the popup Tooltips boxes.Support has been outstanding. David is keenly interested in developing the plugin and things I suggested expecting to pay for as custom features have calmly been added to the plugin within a week or two! How cool is that? David also understands what I ask for, or else carefully checks to see he does.I am using the Ecocommerce (top level) of Tooltips Glossary but I did also find the free version is excellent. I went for the top version because it provides fast support and I’m a fussy admin, and because I really needed a couple of the premium extra features.Don’t go for inferior plugins if you want a good site. Get the best like this because this is the kind of plugin which will carry the centre of your WP or else a major section of it. messing with inferior copies.

Great way to add for site users
With this plugin I was not only able to provide the extra lexis detail my English language students need, but by linking to the dictionary and Wikipedia, I was able to add enormous amounts of content to my site with ease. The support is fast and well, supportive. A small error was quickly remedied and I would not hesitate to recommend this plugin and the people behind it.

This plugin allowed me to set up a PhD project based on knowledge sharing. Moreover I used the free version on different websites on specific fields improving a better understanding for the user. The Creative Mind support is efficient.

Great plugin
I use the free version of this plugin on my home improvement blog to provide definitions to words and phrases that may not be familiar to my readers. Also in combination with Yoast’s SEO plugin, it makes every entry search engine friendly.Unlike some plugins I have tried CM Tool Tip Glossary has performed flawlessly with no conflicts with WP or any of the other plugin’s I use.While the free version has been a great addition to my site, I am strongly considering purchasing a pro version to take advantage of even more features.

Excellent tool!
I am managing a website that offer Physics tutorials. My website if fully loaded with terms that are related to the subject. CM Glossary Tooltip helped me a lot to assist my visitors understand the content with less hassle. Before I used this tool, a lot of visitors had to Google the stuff in order to figure the exact location. But CM Glossary Tooltip provided an ideal solution to it through linking glossary terms. I am highly impressed by its results and can recommend this for any WordPress based website out there!

Really satisfied
This plugin has been a great boon to my gamer website which is about welcoming newcomers to the gaming community. I use a ton of game terms and such on there that some people simply don’t know and I’ve been asked many times what certain words and phrases mean. This has clarified so many things for the users of my site and that is exactly what I want in my site, understanding. I’ve even gotten comments and messages telling me they like that new feature. I love how easy it is to use and it’s customization is a must have for me. Really happy that I found this and I’m gonna continue using it.

Very impressed!
CM Glossary Tooltip has been a great addition to my website. I use a lot of different financial terms on my site and tooltip provides more info on the terms I use to make it much easier for my readers to understand. The feedback I have received on my site after installing CM Glossary Tooltip has been very positive. Everyone has commented on how much they like the fact that they simple need to “hover” over the terms they don’t understand in order to see a definition of it in more detail. I have also received many comments on the A-Z Glossary Index Page that shows provides the links back to the source page. Many of my financial reports can be linked here and visitors on my website have provided a lot of positive feedback for this new improvement. I was so impressed with the free edition, that I purchased the Pro Edition of Word Press Glossary. It has been very beneficial for me to be able to add synonyms and abbreviations as well as plural forms of words. The Pro Edition allows me to generate link types for much larger glossaries and this feature alone has been well worth the money. I have been very happy with this product and highly recommend it.

Wonderful!
I loved this software so much! I enjoy writing and reading informational articles that have plenty of medical terminology. If I am reading the work of people who use this software, I can understand the article easier. Rather than having to Google search for each definition, I can hover above the word to get a definition. Knowing this, I am sure my readers also find it easier to understand what I am saying when I use medical terminology. Like any product, there is always room for improvement; unlike every creator, this software is improved on a daily basis. Great software, unique software. Buy it!

Excellent Functionality and Top Notch Support
Plugin author has been constantly improving and adapting this product to my needs. It has been an integral part of our website providing tool tips of complex medical terms for dog owners. We couldn’t help owners as well as we do without it.The many updates have been extensive and recently, at my request, the plugin is now compatible with bbPress forums! This was critical to helping owners with sick dogs.I did need to spend some time working with settings, but those detailed settings allowed me to really fine tune how this looks on our website. I still have to look into the linking with dictionaries!I really like how this integrates with my SEO plugin. This draws people into the site who search this terminology in google.I appreciate the author’s sensitivity that we may not want this on every page and there are several settings to fine tune this.The entry is so easy that other moderators can help make entries.The applications for this as a training and educational tool are extensive. I can also use photos in the tooltips.Buying the upgrade is really worth the support you receive.

Super handy!
We were able to use the plugin to construct a glossary from spreadsheet data we have. The instructions provided in the settings page to properly produce comma-quote delimited CSV were very helpful as well.My only wish was that it was a bit more clear in that you have to manually add the glossary taxonomy/categories first, note down the categoryID, and integrate that to your spreadsheet data before importing. In other words, a more beginner/non-developer friendly way of explaining the process.Otherwise, great plugin with rapid support response time!

Absolutely Genius
This program helps make an educational support group the best it can be. So many times we have terms used that someone may think they know but this allows to clearly understand the terms and language used in such instances. Our site, educating the world about CHD is a prime example. This plugin is a must have for any site using terms that may not be familiar to all people. Works flawlessly with around 80 plugins. Easy to set up and use. Intutive with very little learning. Thank you to the Author for a fine, well behaved plugin!Job Well done!

Absolutely the best glossary plugin available!
An amazingly clever plug-in that far surpasses anything related to it. The developer is a great guy and sets a higher standard not only for customer support, but responsiveness, in my case to a bug in the pro version which he fixed within 48 hours. If you are wondering about the pro plus edition, don’t. It’s really the best of the best!

This plugin, even the free version, adds a real “wow” factor to any website with a lot of specialized vocabulary.

Support from the developer, David, has been excellent.
