I tried all the popular glossary plugins but all had some feature missing. Then I found this — it had everything I needed at a reasonable price. Easy to use, no brainer to set up, and support answered within hours with exactly what I needed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find your answer? Send me a message and I'll help.

Can I use my own post type for glossary terms?

Yes. Use the built-in glossary post type, or point the index at any existing or custom post type.

Will automatic linking add too many links?

You stay in control: set a maximum number of links per term or per section, exclude HTML tags, exclude individual terms, or switch linking off for specific pages and post types.

Does it support non-English alphabets?

Yes. Define your own filter letters — Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic, accented letters and more — and translate everything with WPML or Polylang.

Are the tooltips accessible?

Yes. Tooltips work with the keyboard and screen readers, and you can control how they behave on touch devices.

Can you customise the glossary design?

Most styling is available in the settings without CSS. For anything beyond that, I offer custom work — use the contact form below.
