Spindle Dynamic Glossary helps you build glossaries, dictionaries, and terminology tooltips on your WordPress site.
Define glossary terms once and automatically highlight them across selected post types. Visitors can view definitions in tooltips or modals, and a searchable A-Z glossary can be displayed with a shortcode.
Key Features:
- Automatic Highlighting: Define a term once, and it automatically highlights across your selected posts and pages.
- Content-safe parsing: The parser avoids replacing text inside existing links, headings, HTML tags, and shortcodes.
- Interactive Tooltips & Modals: Choose between floating tooltips, fixed info boxes, or pop-up modals for user interactions.
- Live glossary filtering: The frontend glossary grid provides live text search and A-Z filtering.
- Individual Post Exclusions: Easily disable tooltips on a per-post basis via a simple checkbox in the post editor.
- Configurable display: Adjust tooltip colors, positioning, behavior, and text limits from the settings dashboard.
