 * – have a glossary term, “link and tooltip”, type “box”
    – have standard built
   in menu with several subentries – open the dropdown menu by hovering over it –
   notice the glossary term from the text underneath is fully visible

 * Hi,
    I don’t understand where is happening. I guess on frontend in a page. This
   happens often with visual composers that alter too much the page, adding the 
   css code on [https://docs.codeat.co/glossary/faq/#do-you-support-visual-composer](https://docs.codeat.co/glossary/faq/#do-you-support-visual-composer)
   should fix. Otherwise I need a link to the page to investigate.

 * I need the link as the only way to fix is a custom css rule that I can share 
   to you once I tested on the page.

 * Seems that the menu of your website doesn’t works with z-index.
    This css should
   be fixed the issue you are facing.
 *     ```
       .glossary-tooltip a, .glossary-underline, a.glossary-content-footnote {
       z-index: unset !important;
       }
       ```

 * That almost works 🙂
    Please see the site again. Now the glossary term is hidden
   behind its own box when you hover the glossary term

 * Add also this:
 *     ```
       .glossary-tooltip:hover .glossary-link a, .glossary-tooltip:focus .glossary-link a, .glossary-tooltip:active .glossary-link a {
       				z-index: 100 !important;
       }
       ```

 * I added that as well.
    Doesn’t seem to have any effect visually.

 * Ops missed some zeros:
 *     ```
       .glossary-tooltip:hover .glossary-link a, .glossary-tooltip:focus .glossary-link a, .glossary-tooltip:active .glossary-link a {
           z-index: 10000 !important;
       }

 * Niiice! That works!
    (but now my site is down, but that must be something completely
   unrelated)
 * I am just surprised this issue hasn’t popped up earlier. It’s the standard menu
   I think.
 * Thank you <3
    That is support how it should be! I am struggling with several 
   plugins and most don’t offer support or nobody responded for months.
 * Do you know that you donate button on
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/glossary-by-codeat/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/glossary-by-codeat/)
   links to codeat.com? That’s some weird site, probably not yours.

 * Hi,
    so that issue depends on theme also for the menu. So every theme implement
   in different ways and we cannot do a default way that works to everyone but just
   to the majority of people.
 * There are 2 ways to help us:
 * * Leave a review of the plugin on [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/glossary-by-codeat/reviews/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/glossary-by-codeat/reviews/#new-post)
   *
   Buy the premium version that offer also a dedicated support (and more features)
