## Description

Kung Woo Easy Encyclopedia is a powerful yet lightweight tool designed to help you
build a fully functional glossary, dictionary, or encyclopedia directly on your 
WordPress site.

Simply use the `[kwee_encyclopedia]` shortcode to display a beautifully styled, 
alphabetical grid of your terms.

### Key Features:

 * **Alphabetical Sorting:** Automatically groups and sorts your terms by their 
   first letter.
 * **Live Search:** Instant, JavaScript-based filtering allowing users to find terms
   without page reloads.
 * **Smart Tooltips:** Hover over a term to see a quick preview. Customize the text
   manually or let the plugin automatically extract an excerpt.
 * **Related Terms:** Easily link concepts together using a built-in meta box.
 * **Custom Settings Panel:** Tailor the plugin to your needs. Customize the primary
   color, change the base URL slug, and control tooltip behavior directly from the
   WordPress dashboard.
 * **Developer & SEO Friendly:** Fully compliant with strict WordPress Coding Standards(
   WPCS). Clean URL structures and accessible HTML.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/kung-woo-easy-encyclopedia`
    directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to `Encyclopedia -> Settings` to configure your primary color, URL slug,
    and tooltips.
 4. **Important:** If you change the Custom URL Slug in settings, you must navigate
    to `Settings -> Permalinks` and click “Save Changes” to flush the rewrite rules.
 5. Create a new page and use the `[kwee_encyclopedia]` shortcode to display your glossary.

## FAQ

### How do I display the encyclopedia?

Simply create a new page and paste the `[kwee_encyclopedia]` shortcode into the 
content.

### How can I change the URL from /encyclopedia/ to something else?

Go to `Encyclopedia -> Settings` in your WordPress dashboard, enter your preferred
Custom URL Slug (e.g., `dictionary` or `glossary`), save the settings, and then 
immediately go to `Settings -> Permalinks` and click “Save Changes”.

### How do tooltips work?

When adding or editing a term, you can enter custom text in the “Tooltip Text” meta
box. If left empty, the plugin will automatically pull a specified number of words
from the main content. You can adjust this word count or disable tooltips entirely
in the settings panel.
