@hseelam : The WP-SMTP plugin is a different plugin. You’ll have to ask for support from its developer in its own support forum: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-smtp/

Cheers!

@casmiami : Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response. Support for Text Hover in other places on a site (other than content, excerpts, and widget text) is possible but depends on knowing how that text is appearing on the site.

Plugins often add filters on text they output, which is how this plugin changes text by default, but you’d need to know the name of such a filter (if there is one). Or if it’s something output by the theme, the Text Hover plugin could be called more directly (with a small change to the theme).

So doing so isn’t that difficult, but it’s a matter of knowing what bit to change specific to your situation. What plugin is outputting the section on the upper right of the image you linked? If it’s publicly available I can take a look, but if it isn’t there’s not much I can do for you.

@kanjipad ; Hi,

I can confirm that text immediately bookended by HTML tags do not get hover-texted. It’s a little trickier there to get it working and not have text inside of an HTML tag (such as in attributes) from getting hover-texted. I’m working on it though.

I cannot confirm that text at the end of a sentence does not get hover-texted. At the link you provided, the kanji at the end of a sentence does have hovertext. My tests indicate that this should be working. Is this still a problem for you?

Hi Noahj,

Glad you’re all set. If the plugin already had a settings UI, I’d consider adding a field for users to input the names of other filters to run the plugin against. I suppose I can add such a textarea in Settings -> Reading. I’ll mull it over.

@cyberlp23 :The CSS you provided to override the #wpadminbar background color works for me regardless of the admin color theme chosen.

I suspect you are talking about the adminbar’s background color on the front-end and not the back-end? If so, yes, the above CSS won’t work since the plugin doesn’t output any CSS on the front-end (hence the “Admin” in the name).

@cyberian90 : Hi,

Could you provide some additional details:

1. Which of the linkifications from your list aren’t working any more?
2. What version of WordPress were you using previously? What version are you using now?
3. Were you using v1.7 of Linkify Text before (when presumably all of the linkifications worked) and now? Or did you update the plugin between when you noticed everything worked and then some of them broke?
4. If at all possible, could you provide the text of a sample post (the shorter the better; even if you create a new one just for this purpose) that demonstrates the issue of one or more of the linkifications that don’t work.

I appreciate you proactively including your defined text and links.

Your answers to the above questions will help me start to look into the potential problem. Thanks!

@embracing-motherhood : Hi, what you want to accomplish sounds exactly like what the plugin offers.

This is how to go about using it:

1. Install the plugin via your usual means.
2. Activate the plugin on the site.
3. Go to the plugin’s settings page. You’ll find it in the side menu under “Settings”, called “Text Hover”.
4. In the big text box, put in the text you want to want to receive hover text, followed by the hover text itself. An example:

To Kill a Mockingbird => A classic by Harper Lee
Kindle Paperwhite => Amazon’s fantastic e-reader

Be sure to only put one per line.

With the above defined, in your posts wherever you had (or will) write “Kindle Paperwhite”, that text will be automatically modified so that if the visitor hovers their mouse over the text, a hover text popup will display “Amazon’s fantastic e-reader”.

The actual styling of the text in a post is left up to the default browser handling (which is typically a dashed or dotted underline). Use of CSS could provide greater control on appearances, but that gets more into design; the plugin just makes doing that possible).

Does that help? If not, where are you experiencing issues?

@habannah: Hi Julie,

You’re pretty much there and probably would have gotten it if I had documented a change made to the ‘c2c_admin_post_navigation_orderby’ filter whereby it can send a second argument that is the post type being navigated.

I’ve updated the documentation to reflect the change, which will be included in the next release of the plugin.

Cheers!

Here’s the code:

/**
 * Modify how Admin Post Navigation orders posts for navigation by ordering
 * pages by 'menu_order' and posts by 'post_date'.
 *
 * @param string $field     The field used to order posts for navigation.
 * @param string $post_type The post type being navigated.
 * @return string
 */
function custom_order_apn( $field, $post_type ) {
	if ( 'page' === $post_type ) {
		return 'menu_order';
	} else {
		return 'post_date';
	}
}
add_filter( 'c2c_admin_post_navigation_orderby', 'custom_order_apn', 10, 2 );
