Most glossary plugins store your terms in their own database tables. If the plugin is abandoned, your content is stranded. 3task Glossary uses normal WordPress pages instead, so every term stays a page you own, indexable and exportable, with or without this plugin.

You get an A-Z index, automatic linking of terms within your glossary pages (site-wide in Pro), reverse links and valid DefinedTerm structured data. Nothing is loaded from an external server.

3task Glossary helps you create professional glossaries, dictionaries, wikis and knowledge bases using the WordPress page hierarchy you already know. No complex setup required – just select a page as your glossary, and its child pages become your entries.

Perfect for:
* Glossaries – Define technical terms, jargon, acronyms
* Dictionaries – Build word lists with definitions
* Knowledge Bases – Create support documentation
* Wikis – Organize encyclopedia-style content
* Lexicons – Academic and scientific term collections

How It Works

Create a WordPress page for your glossary (e.g., “Glossary”)
Add child pages under it for each entry (e.g., “API”, “Database”, “Widget”)
Activate the glossary in plugin settings
Your glossary page automatically shows A-Z navigation and entry list
