Title: Term Description Popup Author: meinService Published: April 2, 2025 Last modified: November 29, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/term-description-popup/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=3265801) # Term Description Popup By [meinService](https://profiles.wordpress.org/meinservice/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/term-description-popup.3.1.3.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/term-description-popup/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/term-description-popup/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/term-description-popup/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/term-description-popup/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/term-description-popup/) ## Description This plugin displays a keyword description in a popup whenever a term in the text of a post or page matches that keyword. ### ENGLISH * Frontend - The Term Description Popup plugin displays a keyword description in a popup if a term in the text of a post or page matches that keyword. The term is marked with an icon. Clicking the icon opens a popup with the keyword description. - If a keyword has no description, the keyword is discreetly highlighted in the text. - The keywords are taken from the standard WordPress “terms” table, and the keyword descriptions from the “term_taxonomy” table. * Backend - The following settings can be configured in the plugin administration: - Which taxonomies (pages or posts) the plugin should be active on - The icon that leads to the description can be selected - You can choose whether to highlight terms without a description - You can choose how these terms should be highlighted - You can choose whether to improve the plugin’s performance through a cache - The cache can be deleted manually - Pages and posts can be specifically excluded from the plugin’s effects - The number of pages or posts for “scrolling” can be specified using the exclusion selection function - Numbers of main-languages are supported for the backend Finally, keywords and their descriptions make sense again, after quickly losing their relevance to search engines. It is now also possible to create a glossary using board resources and use it directly in the content without maintaining additional tags. What’s interesting is that the content is automatically supplemented with keyword descriptions, which has a huge SEO effect on the website’s visibility. Google and other search engines, as well as various AI models, will appreciate the additional content. All you have to do is activate the plugin and enter keywords and their descriptions. ### DEUTSCH * Frontend - Das Plugin Term Description Popup zeigt die Beschreibung eines Schlagwortes als Popup an, wenn ein Begriff im Text eines Posts oder einer Page diesem Schlagwort entspricht. Der gefundene Begriff wird mit einem Symbol versehen. Ein Klick auf das Symbol öffnet ein Popup mit der Beschreibung zum Schlagwort. - Sollte ein Schlagwort keine Beschreibung aufweisen, wird das Schlagwort im Text dezent markiert. - Die Schlagworte werden der Standard WordPress-Tabelle “terms” entnommen und die Beschreibungen der Schlagworte aus der Tabelle “term_taxonomy”. * Backend - In der Administration des Plugin können folgende Einstellungen vorgenommen werden: - Für welche Taxonomien (Seiten oder Beiträge) soll das Plugin wirken - Das Symbol, welches zur Beschreibung führt, kann ausgewählt werden - Es kann gewählt werden, ob Begriffe ohne Beschreibung markiert werden sollen - Es kann gewählt werden, wie diese Begriffe hervorgehoben werden sollen - Es kann gewählt werden, ob die Leistung des Plugins durch einen Cache verbessert werden soll - Der Cache kann manuell gelöscht werden - Seiten und Beiträge können gezielt von der Wirkung des Plugin ausgeschlossen werden - Die Anzahl der Seiten oder Beiträge für das “Blättern” durch die Ausschlussauswahl- Funktion kann festgelegt werden - Einige Haupt-Sprachen werden für das Backend unterstützt Endlich bekommen die Schlagworte und deren Beschreibung wieder Sinn, nachdem sie für Suchmaschinen fast keine Rolle mehr spielen. Es ist also nun mit Boardmitteln möglich, ein Glossar aufzubauen und direkt im Content zu verwenden, ohne zusätzliche Tags zu pflegen. Interessant ist dabei, dass der Content durch die Beschreibungen zu den Schlagworten automatisch ergänzt wird und dies einen gewaltigen SEO Effekt auf die Sichtbarkeit der Website hat. Goggle und Co. sowie diverse KI-Modelle werden sich über den zusätzlichen Content freuen. Sie müssen nichts weiter tun, als das Plugin zu aktivieren und Schlagworte und deren Beschreibung zu erfassen. ### Features & Options * **Frontend** - The Term Description Popup (TDP) displays a popup when a term matches a text string in the content of a post or page and that term has a description. - The text itself, which is found as a keyword (term) in the post or page, is marked with a clickable icon. - Clicking this icon opens a popup with the corresponding description of the keyword (term). - If the term does not contain a description, the text itself, which appears as a keyword (term) in the post or page, is marked with choosed styles. - Caching Terms & Descriptions for better Performance * **Backend** The following settings can be configured in the plugin administration: - Which taxonomies (pages or posts) the plugin should be effective for - The icon that leads to the description can be selected - You can choose whether terms without a description should be highlighted - Pages and posts can be specifically excluded from the plugin’s effects - The number of pages or posts for “browsing” using the exclusion selection function can be specified - Administration selection to choose caching or not - Numbers of main-languages are supported for the backend * **Coding** - Use Ajax to handle some Administration features - Use JavaScript to handle the Popup - Use CSS3 to style the Popup - Use Theme Design to style the Popup ### Online Documentation To know how to use the plugin, please click the link to check [online documentation](http://meinservice.online/tdp.html) ### How to contact us If you have any questions or encounter a problem while using TDP, please [create a topic in the support forum](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/term-description-popup) #### To speed along the support request, please follow the steps below * Update to the latest versions of your WordPress, themes and plugins. * Check [online documentation](http://meinservice.online/tdp.html) * Test by [following this guide](http://meinservice.online/tdp.html) * If you still cannot find a solution, please contact us.

Alle bisher gefundenen Lösungen sind schwergewichtig und benötigen eigene Taxonomien. Ich habe mich immer gefragt, warum die Beschreibungen zu den Schlüsselworten bisher keine Verwendung fanden. Nun habe ich endlich das Plugin gefunden, welches meine mühselig geschriebenen Beschreibungen anzeigt, ohne Schnickschnack und Trallalla. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/77ca086431373ea07d0eed43fed60b2fdb25659a6ac51ad1db0ae02603a3cc31? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect, simple and effective](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-simple-and-effective-3/)󠁿 [vollau](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vollau/) April 12, 2025 Solution via keywords.
