hovering text above each cell

    In order to keep a large table clearly I want to show to each cell of the table by mouse over a small text (10 words) with additional information. This information could, for example, be taken from a hidden table column.
    For instance: showed cell content: “test-result: bad”; hovering text by mouse over: “product fell apart after 2 hours operation”

    How could this be implemented?

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    For this, you could maybe take a look at the various tooltip plugins that are available. Those should work fine in tables.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    are there any tooltip plugins you know work with tablepress? And, ideally, work with the current version of wordpress?

    Hi,

    probable. Unfortunately, I’m not really into such plugins so that I can not make direct recommendations.

    Most of them should work just fine inside tables. If they don’t, it’s often just the internal caching that they can’t work around. In that case, it might help to turn off that caching, by adding another parameter to the Shortcode:
    [table id=123 cache_table_output=false /]

    Regards,
    Tobias
