It uses Schema.org `DefinedTermSet` structured data for better search engine optimization( SEO) of your definitions list. Once you definition terms are ready, you can easily include them into a glossary page using our Glossary block for Gutenberg (or the `[glossary]` shortcode if you’re not using Gutenberg yet). Plus, this plugin will automatically add a link to the related glossary definitions each time the term appears in all your posts and pages. This is super helpful for your internal linking. By default, this plugin use a very minimal amount of CSS styles (so it works well on all WordPress themes!), but it provides all the CSS classes you’ll need to style it on your own 🙂 ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Glossary ## Installation 1. Install the plugin and activate. 2. Go to Glossary Admin Menu. 3. Add definitions to your glossary. 4. Create a page to host your Glossary. 5. Insert your Glossary into this page using the Glossary Gutenberg Block or the `[ glossary]` shortcode. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/184c6e11a99f5bd26f09274f98577d591d91030e6f59bd53fa002ab75e7a936e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Plugin OK, but No Support (!) if something is wrong.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-ok-but-no-support-if-something-is-wrong/)󠁿 [malinaboy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/malinaboy/) June 30, 2025 At first, I was very optimistic about this plugin, but it turns out that its developer has been ignoring it for several months. There are no updates, no support, and I also tried contacting them via email. So think twice if you really want to spend a lot of time using it. I am disappointed. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d6bd90364beb3597011beab061625cc197a21cd86374a165661538421326a8d2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Love it. simple and functional](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-it-simple-and-functional/)󠁿 [yannickburky](https://profiles.wordpress.org/yannickburky/) August 2, 2024 I really love this expansion. What would be nice is also to have the possibility of being able to open all the definitions by default and to be able to change the keyword of the slug (currently glossary) ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/66e4d464341f39c0a66a1ad0d60d792d5110ea0eee47063bfdef861592d7505b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This is perfect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-perfect-27/)󠁿 [giljspereira](https://profiles.wordpress.org/giljspereira/) February 28, 2024 Please… pleeeeeaaase. Don’t let this plugin die.It’s proof that simple is better. Always! I’ve lost count of how many “glossary” plugins I’ve tried before stumbling with this one. Why does this have “zero” installs?!?!?!It’s perfect. It’s just what I was looking for. Simple list, description, dropdown, index… and a marvelous shortcode that let’s you put it wherever you want it to work!One little thing that would step it up a notch would be pagination: let you choose on how many terms it should paginate. Food for thought, team? I loved it so much that went on and made the translation to portuguese 🙂 [ Read all 3 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/my-wp-glossary/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “My WP Glossary” is open source software.
