Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Spindle Dynamic Glossary helps you build glossaries, dictionaries and terminology tooltips on your WordPress site.

Define a term once and it is highlighted automatically wherever it appears in your posts and pages. Visitors hover or tap to read the definition in a tooltip or pop-up, and a searchable A-Z glossary can be added to any page with a shortcode.

Features

  • Automatic highlighting in the post types you choose, every mention or just the first.
  • Safe matching that never touches links, headings, buttons, scripts, code samples, shortcodes or HTML entities.
  • Accessible tooltips and pop-up: keyboard and screen-reader friendly, dismissible with Escape, and kept on screen automatically.
  • Searchable A-Z glossary with live search and a letter menu.
  • Dashboard with a setup checklist, statistics and status at a glance, and a settings screen with a live tooltip preview.
  • Fonts: choose Poppins, Josefin Sans or the WordPress default for the plugin’s screens, and optionally use the same font for tooltips, the pop-up and the glossary on your site. Both fonts are included, so nothing is loaded from other websites.
  • Per-post opt-out from the editor sidebar.
