Meta Box Tooltip

Custom fields can be unclear when their purpose or expected content is not obvious from the label alone. Meta Box Tooltip lets you add custom help text that appears when a user hovers over an icon associated with a field. This gives editors guidance at the point where they are entering information, helping them understand how to use each field.

The plugin is an extension for Meta Box and lets you choose whether a tooltip sits beside a field label or its input. You can use WordPress Dashicons or provide a custom icon image URL, then set the tooltip to appear above, below, left, or right. These controls suit sites with custom editing interfaces and teams that need clear field instructions.

Features

• Custom hover guidance: Add help text to custom fields so users can see instructions or explanations when they hover over the associated icon.
• Dashicons support: Choose from WordPress Dashicons for tooltip icons that use the native icon font in the admin interface.
• Custom icon images: Use your own icon image URL to personalize the icon displayed with a tooltip.
• Flexible placement: Attach a tooltip to a field label or its input, depending on the layout of your meta box.
• Four tooltip positions: Set tooltip placement to the top, left, right, or bottom of its associated icon.
