Explain terms as readers encounter them

Glossary by Codeat PRO organizes specialized vocabulary, product information, and recurring concepts as glossary or dictionary entries. It automatically links matching terms in posts and pages to their definitions, so readers can open a tooltip or visit a term page. For example, a food site can define ingredients in context, while a store can explain fishing equipment and suggest related products from its pages. The add-on works with the classic WordPress editor and Gutenberg.

Set how terms are linked and browsed

The included glossary utilities support categories, vertical term archives, synonyms, and internal or external links. Choose where linking is active, such as selected pages, archives, taxonomies, or custom post types. Terms can be highlighted or shown with hover tooltips, and external links can display a dedicated icon. Free tooltip templates, widgets, Gutenberg blocks, and CSV imports provide additional ways to present and manage entries. The plugin also works with Schema.org DefinedTerm and ChatGPT integration, which requires an OpenAI API key.

Integrations include Yoast SEO, Ninja Forms, Elementor, Bricks Builder, Fixed TOC, Easy Table of Contents, YARPP, User Role Editor, WPML, and Polylang. Custom theme integrations are available for Bricks, Divi, and Genesis.

PRO controls for tooltips and indexes

The PRO edition includes the free functions and includes further control over matching, presentation, and glossary indexes:

• Customize tooltip styling beyond the free templates and manage tooltip behavior on mobile devices.
• Generate footnotes for glossary terms and match case-sensitive terms.
• Link only the first occurrence of the same term or of any key term, and prevent a term from linking on its own description page.
• Add an alphabetically ordered term list or make a customizable glossary index with the PRO shortcode or block.
• Customize index blocks in Gutenberg, Elementor, Fusion Builder, Divi, Beaver Builder, or SiteOrigin.
• Add custom fields to terms and use the Advanced Custom Fields integration.
• Use advanced shortcodes to parse content in Visual Composer or another page builder.

Install and configure

Install the plugin on the WordPress website where the glossary will appear. Create terms and definitions, then configure matching, tooltip presentation, term behavior, and the content areas where glossary functions should execute. Place an index with the PRO shortcode or block, and customize it in a supported visual editor if needed. The PRO version includes dedicated support; documentation and a demo are also available.
