 * Hi there,
 * I love this product! I’m hoping to buy the Pro once I complete the contruction
   of my English web site, but I’ve run into a snag.
 * I’m using WordPress 4.4.1 running BiscayaLite theme. And when I use Tooltipy 
   to display word definitions,they are popping up behind the post.
 * The page that gives the best example is below.

 * If you mouse over the word “create” in the last paragraph you can just see the
   edge of the Tooltip appear behind the post. I’ve tried Opera, Chrome and Firefox–
   all produce the same errors.
 * Thanks in advance and keep up the good work, this is a really cool plug-in especially
   for helping language learners.
 * Tony.

 * Sorry Jamel, I screwed up my name server settings whilst on the bus. TIP: “don’t
   code and commute”. They’re back to normal now – sorry for the inconvenience.

 * Hi again,
    Ok the problem here is that your theme uses a very high level of “
   z-index” for the container “10000”, so all what you have to do here is to add
   this CSS code somewhere to your theme :
 *     ```
       .tooltipy-pop {
           z-index: 100000;
       }
       ```

 * Hey there Jamel,
 * That’s great I got it sorted. I tried increasing the z-index of .tooltipy-pop
   to 100000 but it didn’t work. So I eneded up dropping the z-index of the .boxedcontent
   to 5000 and giving .tooltipy-pop 10000. Seems to have worked.
 * Thanks Jamel.
    Tony
 *     ```
       .tooltipy-pop {
       	z-index: 10000;
       }
       .boxedcontent {
       	background:#fff;
       	z-index:5000;
       	position: relative;
       	width: 99.984%;
       }
       ```
