Title: FancyTooltips Plugin Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # FancyTooltips Plugin * [victr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/victr/) * (@victr) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fancytooltips-plugin/) * I have gotten around to creating a WordPress Plugin that dynamically changes the tooltips that are created by browsers. Basically, FancyTooltips replaces those boring little boxes that appear next to your mouse with a dynamic and impressive one. * You can download FancyTooltips and receive more information about it from the [entry on my blog](http://victr.lm85.com/Design/css/fancytooltips-a-la-victr.php).

I understand how it works via alt/title attributes which would be simple to write in edit mode but this wysiwyg interface of wp is driving me nuts!!!! * In the links page there is all kinds of stuff * identity another web address of mine friendship acquaintance contact friend none physical met professional co-worker colleague geographical co-resident neighbor none family child kin parent sibling spouse none romantic muse crush date sweetheart * all i want is to add a simple title attribute. * [NuclearMoose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nuclearmoose/) * (@nuclearmoose) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fancytooltips-plugin/page/2/#post-142115) * Dawg, Are these links you have entered via your LINKS panel in the Admin Panel? If so, just make sure that you have entered a description for each link. If you have a description, then that will be what pops-up for the tool tip. * Thread Starter [victr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/victr/) * (@victr) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fancytooltips-plugin/page/2/#post-142116) * [@ccf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ccf/): Nucleur Moose is right. You can certainly customize the CSS of the FancyTooltips plugin. It is located in./ fancytooltips/fancytooltips.css . Go ahead and edit the colours and what not how ever you please. If you’re having issues understanding what tags edit what, you can [email me](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fancytooltips-plugin/page/2/victr@lm85.com?output_format=md) with your questions. * [@dawg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawg/): I you are only looking to add the FancyTooltips to your “Links” in WordPress, than simply add the description of the link (as NuclearMoose stated). BUT, if you want to add titles to any other links, you’ll need to edit the templates of your blog and enter the titles in manually. * [dawg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawg/) * (@dawg) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fancytooltips-plugin/page/2/#post-142117) * OK thanks, I saw the description but I knew that that would add the description below the actual link so I did not think that that was it. I will give it a shot now, not sure about the second way of adding it{you’ll need to edit the templates of your blog and enter the titles in manually.} * [dawg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dawg/) * (@dawg) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fancytooltips-plugin/page/2/#post-142118) * After much ado I finally got it worked out! The biggest thing that caused a hassle was the simple description part that I completely ignored as I wanted to write in the attribute myself. I had used this description in the past but it added the description below the link so I was looking for title attribute. I took a look at the php file and figured it out. I do not believe there was mention of making a sub folder in plugins called fancytooltips but this was necessary and this is wher I went wrong as I just uploaded the php file into the plugins and activated it thus having no .js or .css.

Remove these comment characters, this will ensure that the “title” tag will get picked up for “img”‘s as well as “alt”. * Regards * [blueorder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blueorder/) * (@blueorder) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fancytooltips-plugin/page/2/#post-142131) * Cypher…works like a charm now…thanks… * Thread Starter [victr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/victr/) * (@victr) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fancytooltips-plugin/page/2/#post-142147) * Note to All: v.1.2.1 of FancyTooltips is out.
