Annoying tooltip with latest updates

Hey there!

Can you send a screenshot of the tooltip you are speaking of? I recommend https://snipboard.io for easily sharing screenshots – please follow the instructions on the page, then paste the URL in your response. It works with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Hi, thanks for your fast reply

here’s the screenshot as an example of the tooltip:

Very often, the tooltip just stays there, even on mouseout… If you move the mouse too fast there are tooltips popping up everywhere and disappearing… quite a mess.
In short, we were better without them :)))

is there a way, a snippet to turn them off?

Thanks in advance

Thank you for the screenshot. If you want to disable the tooltip completely, you can do it via custom CSS. You can add the following custom CSS in WP-Admin > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

div#tiptip_holder {
    display: none !important;
}

I hope that helps!

Hi,

thanks for your reply!

yes, of course the css rule will work, but I was hoping something better to completely disable the feature.
Even if the tooltip is hidden by css, the javascript is still loaded and triggered and the divs (hidden) are modified.
Not a big problem, but indeed a bit of a waste of resources…

Anyway, the css solution is still better than nothing, let us know if you have a more radical/elegant one :))

@sync4489 Did that css work for you, for some reason it is not working for me at all.

Hi @samadamdesigns
Yes it did work. As I said above, it’s not really the solution I was expecting as it’s more a “dirty hack” than a real solution, but it gets the job done.

Where did you put your CSS lines? Because I think that what Tseten suggested works only to modify the frontend CSS and not the admin…

Try to add this to the functions.php of your theme or with a snippet plugin:

add_action('admin_head', 'custom_admin_css');

function custom_admin_css() {
	echo '<style>
                   div#tiptip_holder {
                       display: none !important;
                   }
                </style>';
}

Hope this helps

Hey, I actually figured out a better way with a function:

// remove tiptip box
add_action( ‘wp_print_scripts’, ‘de_script’, 100 );

function de_script() {
wp_dequeue_script( ‘jquery-tiptip’ );
wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery-tiptip’ );

}

It worked great for me, let me know if it works for you as well.

Thank you everyone for sharing your knowledge with us. @sync4489’s shared code worked for me.

Since the code works and resolves the behavior I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
