About this plugin
MKB Glossar provides glossary terms, optional automatic links within supported content and accessible tooltips for the resulting links.
Features include:
- Dedicated WordPress glossary term management, including short definitions and synonyms.
- Shortcode, Gutenberg block, and optional Elementor widget for glossary overviews.
- Enable or disable the three Elementor widgets separately; existing installations keep all enabled until changed.
- Automatic linking with per-content and per-term limits, off by default.
- Protected HTML contexts to avoid nested links and changes to existing links or code.
- Language-aware terms, URL bases and overview output when supported language providers are installed.
- Adjustable tooltip presentation with keyboard and touch behavior.
- Built-in, offline-accessible handbook and contextual explanations in the WordPress administrator.
- CSV import/export with preview, field mapping and conflict controls.
- Manual related terms and sources, optional external targets and case-sensitive recognition.
- Optional site-wide Elementor Free saved-container design for sources and related terms, with a native fallback.
- Structured Schema.org DefinedTerm data on published glossary entries (opt-out in settings).
- Server-side public searching with a configurable 1–200 terms per loading batch, including smaller glossaries when a batch limit is chosen.
- Central visual controls for references and related terms without Elementor, with clear theme inheritance and an illustrative preview.
- Optional five-step getting-started guide: choose labels and a URL base, create content, build an overview, configure links and check appearance.
- A downloadable CSV example using the same columns as the complete glossary export.
- Separate glossary search field with live suggestions and direct term navigation for WordPress sidebars, Elementor Free and shortcodes.
- When live suggestions are disabled, the standalone search remains a native form without loading its JavaScript.
- Optional external-target symbol for glossary links that lead to another website; choose a built-in style or a custom image from the WordPress Media Library.
- Protected passages without automatic glossary links in Gutenberg, Elementor and the classic editor.
MKB Glossar works independently of Elementor, Polylang, WPML and MKB Managed. These integrations are optional.
