Glossary doesn’t work and paths don’t contain the glossary

    I have a site that is not yet launched but protected so I can’t share links. The site uses pages with English and French content. There is already a glossary page and the keywords that I wish to include in the glossary are capitalized.
    I was using text hover which is a nice little plugin but it fails to work with French words that begin with a special character, all other words work.
    I deactivated text hover and installed CM Tooltip Glossary.
    I click Add New in the CM Tooltip Glossary and entered EPIDEMIC as my first keyword and completed the definition and publish. It is worth noting that unlike the video the path to ‘epidemic’ is
    /en/epidemic
    I then click French and enter ÉPIDÉMIE and the definition and publish. Again the path is
    /fr/epidemie
    I then go to my published pages to view the words and nothing is highlighted.
    In General Settings, I have checked Highlight terms on pages AND Terms case-sensitive. The term will not highlight or hover.
    I also tried to enter terms without capitals and unchecked case-sensitive. All cases do not work.

    If I visit the CM Tooltip Glossary it seems to get confused and says
    Link to the Glossary Index Page /fr/glossary/ (edit) this should in fact be en/glossary. When I click the link, it says page not found. Which is of course correct as the french glossary page should be fr/glossaire.
    I have also tried renaming the URL of my existing glossary and glossaire paths and reinstalled CM Tooltip Glossary but that doesn’t work.

    It seems there is a bug when a glossary page is already declared. But you would think it would handle that.

    Why does my glossary path not include the word glossary?

    I would like to actually see this working on my site before I make a purchase.

    Hi dupls,

    This may be a bit too much for the free version of the plugin to have two separate glossaries with different languages. But let me try to explain what’s the problem.

    All of the posts of one post type have to have the same slug. This is the part of the url based on which WordPress can know what kind of page it’s dealing with, what data to load from the database, what filters to run etc.

    Of course this part doesn’t have to be ‘glossary’, but it has to be something common to all of the terms. So there not much flexibility in terms of urls of the Glossary Terms (or any other custom post types).

    I’m not sure where the /en/ or /fr/ url prefixes are coming from, but I’m guessing you’re using some internationalization plugin, and it may be breaking the links.

    I understand the support but I like to see a plugin is working before I commit. The CM tooltip offers translations options, therefore I would not think that the internationalization plugin would break links. I really would like to see this working. Both in an international site and with French character support.

    Switched back to text hover plugin. Got it working!
