Hi

Is there any support here for Simple ToolTips?

The Wordfence security plugin informs that there is a security vulnerability in Simple Tooltips version 2.1.4 and earlier:

Description

The Simple Tooltips plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in versions up to, and including, 2.1.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Hi Simple Tooltips.

This PHP warning is showing as being related to this plugin:

PHP Warning: Undefined variable $selectors_string

wp-content/plugins/simple-tooltips/index.php:412

I notice other tooltip plugins have released an update resolving this.

Could you please let me know if you are likely to do the same?

Thank you

Hi,

I hope you will update your plugin. Please don’t give up on it. Thank you.

Quiero incluir saltos de linea dentro del texto del tooltip pero no sé como hacerlo. Estoy usando este codigo

Hi @clevelandwebdeveloper,

It looks like the plugin is still working, but can you please test it with the recent WP and PHP versions and release a minor maintenance update? That way security checks will stop reporting it as abandoned and new users know they can safely install the plugin.

I also see multiple support questions here on the forum that might need some attention.

Thanks,

Hi guys,

I love this plugin, I tried loads of tooltips ones and this one seems simple and elegant.

My problem is when I have a lot of text in my bubble, the bubble is very long which doesn’t look good.

Does anyone know how to get a scrollbar to appear in the bubble, so that you can scroll within the tooltip bubble when you have a lot of text?

Thanks!

Receiving this error when attempting to install. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I’m running a small digital marketing agency and we’re building a site for our client. We’re interested in your tooltip plugin but before I buy I would like to ask for a few questions:

Can I localize the plugin?
Is it compatible with all WP themes?
Does it support multimedia?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hello,

thank you for the plugin. It is great. Really.

But we can’t use sentences like

• L’allemand est parlé dans la partie est du pays (Eupen, St-Vith, et est du canton de Malmédy).

Because we have a ‘ in the sentence.

Is there a way to fix this ?

Thank you.
Regard.

Hi

It appears that single and double-quotes aren’t properly escaped to use the shortcode for the plugin easily. I tried various combinations to get an apostrophe and link to work in the tooltip and figured out workarounds (please look closely at the way the single and double-quotes are used by using single quotes within double-quotes or vice versa):

doesn’t work:
[simple_tooltip content=’test’s’]test[/simple_tooltip]
works:
[simple_tooltip content=”test’s”]test[/simple_tooltip]

doesn’t work:
[simple_tooltip content=’test’s‘]something[/simple_tooltip]
works:
[simple_tooltip content=”test’s“]something[/simple_tooltip]

I’m not sure if it’s actively being developed any more, but if it is might be worth a quick fix?

Thanks!

Hi,

I would like to add some html link to the tooltip.

But I need to add the tooltip in php file, my code in functions.php is like this:

function cw_change_product_price_display( $price ) {
$price .= ' <span class="vatregister tooltips" title="<a href="url">Click here</a>">incl. VAT</span>';
return $price;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_price_html', 'cw_change_product_price_display' );
add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_item_price', 'cw_change_product_price_display' );

So how can I make that title tag to contain html?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am using the “Simple Tooltips” plugin and was notified by one of my web editors who is having issues with Khmer language text. The issue is that the tooltips is not recognizing the characters that is used to force a line break and instead, inserting spaces between the text. We don’t have that issue with the text WordPress main editor, only the text inside of the tooltips shortcode. My first question to you is the javascript file produced encoded using UTF-8? It could be the reason why the khmer text . I looked around the code the Simple Tooltips plugin creates and don’t see any reference to UTF-8. Can you please confirm if it does or doesn’t? If not, can this adjustment be appended to the plugin?

Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you

Hey there,

your plugin is very nice and exactly what i need.

Everything works fine, but now my client wants to set the tool tipps behind the text.

You can see it on https://sa.mintserver.de. Now when a tool tipp is displaying, the text is behind of the image in the tool tipp. I would like to change it, that the text is in front and the tipp is in the back.

It would be very cool, if you can help me with that little problem.

Sincerly

First of all, thank you for this simple yet powerful plugin!

In Chrome for Android, tapping outside the tooltip bubble exits the tooltip (it fades out). This is the desired behavior, as it is with the desktop version.

On Safari mobile (both in iPhone and iPad), the bubble does not exit when tapping outside of it. And the bubble stays even when scrolling (swiping) through the webpage. So it sticks to the page.

Is it this a jQuery issue? Is there a workaround to this behavior?

Thanks for the help!

Here’s the sample page with this issue:

I followed your instruction here
https://www.clevelandwebdeveloper.com/wordpress-plugins/simple-tooltips/#tooltips_in_menu
but the tooltip is empty!

The tooltip is on second menu item. Jut hover it to see on this website

Thanks!

Hi there!

Nice plugin ??

How can I change it so that the plugin appears above an icon instead of text? I would like to use a font awesome icon and then when you hover that, the tooltip appears!

Cheers,

Lizzy

I’m left wondering why horizontal position is offered as a setting, but then vertical alignment is not. I have a site where I actually need them to display below by default, but the plugin doesn’t currently allow for this.

As such, I’ve implemented this via a patch which I’d love to see implemented officially.

Here’s the index.php file with the necessary updates: https://gist.github.com/KZeni/f786562991f5351b8d2d77e0010d7d50 (you can also see exactly what was changed between the current plugin’s index.php file and the patch here: https://gist.github.com/KZeni/f786562991f5351b8d2d77e0010d7d50/revisions [just 2 straightforward additions]).

Again, I’d love to see this officially implemented in an update.

Thanks for the great plugin,
Kurt

I installed this plugin with WP 5.2 and the text was hidden. I noticed there have been no resolved issues in nearly a year. Is this plugin still being updated and supported?

How can a tooltip be set to position=”fixed” when set up in a fixed sidebar element? As is, it starts with it’s trigger in the sidebar, but as the document is scrolled, it retains it’s document position, so is scrolled with the document.

How to insert image to the tooltip, not only text ?

downloaded the plugin and installed on divi but is not working. not able to see on the visual view the tooltip shortcode.

Dear Justin,
I also couldn’t visualize the tooltip icon on my visual content editor. Problem solved installing the Disable Gutemberg Plugin.

I would customizing the default code
[simple_tooltip content=’This is the content for the tooltip bubble’]This triggers the tooltip[/simple_tooltip]

with mine
[simple_tooltip content=’This is the content for the tooltip bubble’]<span style=”color: #a62425;”>This triggers the tooltip</span>[/simple_tooltip]

Where I can insert this code?
Thank you very much in advance

Is it possible to add videoguide from youtube to the tooltip?

Forget this plugin then, I guess.

Hi! The notes we usually use have source references in them, like [2]. The plugin ruins if I use this symbol, but if I use html code of the symbol, it’s automatically converted back to the [ when I save in the visual editor mode.

I have a short message in the tooltip: “Add author to your list”

I want it to all be on one line in the tooltip but it breaks it into two lines.

I’ve made the font smaller, and changed max width to 300 px. No matter how small I make the text it’s still on two lines. The tooltip box just gets narrower.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
We are using Simple Tooltips plugin on our site. For some reason the tooltip box doesn’t show at all on Firefox. It works fine on other browsers such as Safari and Chrome. Have you encountered this issue with Firefox and do you have any suggestions how to fix it?
Thank you in advance.

i installed this plugin and active but i don’t have the tooltip icon on my visual content editor

Hi,

The problem is the case where you plan to use tooltips to display a definition (or a comment) about a content which can occurs with same content in several places of your site.

In such case you wish to have to create and maintain the content once unique.

Currently I imagine two solutions, because I have not seen how to do it in current version :
1- use of a textwidget and is shortcode into html content of the tip :the problem is that if there are many texts (a glossary) textwidget is not designed for this and I am not sure that the html display can hold the shortcodes.
2- a tooltip database with “named tooltip” which should be displayed if you define the a parameter “name” which will replace the content.

What is your proposal ?

Best regards

Trebly
