I heard back from tooltips.pro:

after reviewing your reply, our developers are aware of the issue and we have started working on a new version to fix the issue for you,

I just wonder, based on what was said in some of the replies to my thread, if there might also need to be modifications to the navigation block for tooltips to work. Can tooltips.pro write their plugin so that it would modify the navigation block as part of the plugin’s activity?

(?? I just noticed that the reply I refer to here has somehow disappeared from the thread…)

Thanks.

On Tuesday, June 24, I posted on the tooltips.org site, noting that, contrary to what their site promises, their product did not create a tooltip in my menu. I added that I was using the navigation block in the twenty twenty-five theme with full site editing.

On Wednesday, June 25 at 9:40 a.m., I heard back from happysupport@tooltips.org:

“I hope this message finds that you are doing well and having happy days with your family 🙂 Thanks for the message 🙂 We are very happy to help you 🙂 We did a check on our menu tooltip on tooltips.org, when mouse hover the menu item “menu tooltip demo”, we found tooltip window popup and it works well,  we’d like check the issue and resolve the issue for you asap we can, would you please tell us: 1 the URL related with the problem  2 a little more details to tell us how to find the problem in the URL Thanks, have a blessed day with your family 🙂 Best Regards, Support Team”

At 11:59 a.m. on the 25th, I replied:

“Hi Happy, thanks for your reply.
I just tried yet again and no tooltip.
My first question is, how is your plugin supposed to know I’m creating a menu tooltip? Your post (https://tooltips.org/how-to-add-wordpress-tooltips-in-the-menu/ ) seems to just use a generic process for creating any tooltip. Is the instruction post missing a step to tell WP that you want to put the tooltip on a menu item?
Second question: Your post on adding tooltip to menu is dated 2019. Have you checked that it works in themes that use full site editing and the navigation block? (I did mention that I was using twenty twenty-five and the navigation block). Some feedback I’ve gotten says that maybe the navigation block is not set up to handle popups (e.g., can’t accept shortcodes). Have you checked?
Anyway, for what it’s worth, the site I’m building is https://www.lynnunderwood.com, and the menu item for which I want the popup is ‘Contact.’ The way to “find the problem in the URL” is to hover your mouse over the word ‘Contact’ and see that there is no tooltip.”

It’s now Sat afternoon, the 28th. I have not heard back from “happysupport.”

The “Make your side mobile friendly” page has a paragraph about turning on the “overlay menu.” Turns out, the overlay menu is on by default in the 2025 theme. Once I knew where to find that command, it was easy to turn it off and show the normal menu on my phone, which looks quite nice there.

Thanks, George. I didn’t realize that WP was treating “all 4” as one item.

Does having a media library of that size, when we’re only using maybe a hundred or so of the images on the site, have any cost (e.g, slowing things down)?

“Working with an offline WordPress site on your local hard disk, or localhost, is a great way to build your page without sending it live yet. However, there’s no WordPress one-click update option available offline. That’s why you need to update WordPress files and database manually.” (https://ginangiela.com/how-to-update-wordpress-manually-on-localhost/)

Near as I can tell from searching, the only way around this is to create a live webserver on my laptop that exposes my experimental site to the world. Is there some middle ground I’m not seeing? Does something like XAMPP do that?

But the “normal procedure” and “the update function in the backend” are not available for localhost installation, as far as I know. I did mention that I was talking about a localhost installation. Maybe that’s not the right word. I mean an installation on my laptop at home, which does not have direct access to such updates. I’m quite familiar with using the theme update procedure on live sites on a webhost.
