How do I create rollover text in 4.2.1?

  • I just upgraded to WP 4.2.1, and can’t figure out how to create what I think is called “rollover text” in this version. By that I mean, when the cursor is hovering over a link, a small box of text appears that can tell you something about that link (or whatever you type in). In the previous version, you could just click on “Insert/Edit Link”, and beneath the URL box, there was a second box in which you could type this “rollover text”. (If it’s called something else, please let me know.) That second box is no longer there.

    I’m using the Weaver theme, if that’s any help.

    Is there a new way to do this? I use this function constantly in my site, for a variety of purposes and effects, and it looks as if I can no longer do it. ??

    If you need to see more clearly the effect that I’m referring to, go to https://www.richardloranger.com/events (my Events page), and hover your cursor over the picture at the top. The words “Richard Loranger, LA” should appear.

    Hoping very much that somebody out there can help.

    Thank you!

  • You can easily add hover/rollover text with tooltips. There are tons of plugins out there that can do tooltips.

    You could also try a code like the following.

    <span style="color:blue;" title="INSERT TEXTBOX TEXT HERE">INSERT DISPLAYED TEXT HERE</span>
