It is now working for me.

I did have to go through and make sure any terms which include apostrophe are using a vertical typewriter apostrophe (') in both the title of the glossary item and the pages which include the term. The closing single quote (’) was still breaking it.

You can see everything working on this test page:

Thanks a lot CM. Let me know if you need anything else tested.

I’m using the default text editor (html editor). I have just tested in a sandbox area using the Twenty Twelve theme in WordPress 3.5.1 with all other plugins deactivated. The link does not work yet.

The DOM source show it as: BUYER’S AGREEMENT

Is it possible that this is a server side issue?

Here are some specs. Let me know if there is a setting to look for in phpinfo().

x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
CloudLinux Server release 5.9 (Sergey Oleynikov)
PHP Version 5.3.19
default_charset: no value
CharConv: No
mbstring.substitute_character: No value
session.hash_bits_per_character: 4
HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3
_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET"]: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3
_ENV["HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET"]: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3

No change here, as expected. Will test 2.0.5 tomorrow. Thank you!

Thanks a bunch!

I was hoping there is a way to check if it is $term . ‘es’ instead of simply all words ending in “es”.

OK, testing 2.0.3 on this page:
https://dreamloan.pro/glossary-terms-check-hover-items/

It has repaired terms with $, but others, such as “BUYER’S AGREEMENT”, “RATE/TERM OR RATE & TERM REFINANCE”, “REALTOR?” and “CC&RS” are still not recognized. Unfortunately, we must include that reserved mark. :/

If you think this may be caused by a theme issue, any tips on where to repair it?

Awesome! Thanks for all the great work.

BTW, I’m using WPZoom Prime theme, in case that is the source of the problem. https://www.wpzoom.com/themes/prime/

believerinsight: I have had trouble with this as well, even in the last version. The source of the problem has been the use of this apostrophe character ‘ in the excerpt.

The solution, until fixed, is to replace any instance of ‘ in an excerpt with an alternative single quote character, such as ’.

Please let us know if this is the cause of your problem as well. If not, check for other special characters in your excerpt and try to remove them and test again to determine the source of the problem.

I am having a similar issue which happened both before and after updating to version 2.0.2.

I have found the cause of one bug which is when there is a space character following the title of a glossary item. This can be solved going to the edit page for that item and removing any unwanted space following the title.

The function trim() could be added to the plugin in the next update to force it to remove unwanted spaces before or after a glossary term. This is probably used on the glossary index, but not currently used to check the glossary title against posts/pages containing the term. Should be an easy fix. ??

This solved most of the problems for me, but there are some glossary terms containing special characters such as $, & and ‘, which do not get linked to on a page, but do get linked to on the glossary index.

I’ve noticed my theme converts this ‘ into the forward tick apostrophe.

Please see these terms for example: “$100 DOWN PAYMENT PURCHASE”, “MECHANIC’S LIEN”, “MERCHANTS & MECHANIC’S LIEN”, “METES & BOUNDS”

Here is the glossary index:

Here is a page containing the same list of glossary terms for testing:

Marking as solved…

Solved: It was just a matter of setting a high z-index on the ID #tt in tooltip.css. I went ahead and did this with each ID in tooltip.css as well.

Doesn’t get easier than that.

#tt {position:absolute; display:block; z-index:9001;}
#tttop {display:block; height:5px; margin-left:5px; z-index:9001;}
#ttcont {display:block; padding:2px 12px 3px 7px; margin-left:5px; background:#666; color:white; z-index:9001;}
#ttbot {display:block; height:5px; margin-left:5px; z-index:9001;}

I’m working in a private sandbox area so I don’t have a link to the site.
The script is being called in the head so the conflict lies elsewhere.
