If an ACF field requires a longer instruction text, the layout of the edit screen is messy and a lot of space is wasted.

The ACF Tooltip plugin hides the field instructions, adds a help symbol to the field labels and generates a tooltip based on the instruction text.

New in Version 1.2.0

The tooltip will not hide if moused over, allowing create a tooltip with a link inside without hiding the tooltip.
