Description

The Tooltip addon adds interactive help icons to Meta Box fields, displaying explanatory text bubbles when hovering over the label or input of each metabox. It works as a complement that reduces doubts for those filling out fields in the WordPress admin, useful for editorial teams and clients who receive the finished site and need quick instructions within the form itself.

Main Features of Tooltip

  • Tooltips on labels and inputs
    Attaches help bubbles to both the label and the input field of the metabox.
  • Four configurable positions
    Displays the tooltip to the left, right, above, or below the icon according to the form layout.
  • Compatible with Dashicons
    Accepts any icon from the native WordPress Dashicons library as a visual trigger.
  • Custom icons by URL
    Allows the use of custom images by specifying the file URL instead of Dashicons.
  • Integration with field configuration
    Plugs directly into the Meta Box field definition array with no additional code required.

Benefits of Tooltip

  • Fewer doubts when filling out forms
    Instructions appear in the exact context of the field, eliminating the need to consult external documentation.
  • Facilitated onboarding for clients
    Those delivering ready-made sites can guide the end client within the editing screen itself.
  • Consistent visual identity
    Use of Dashicons or custom icons keeps the admin aligned with the rest of the project.
  • Cleaner forms
    Reduces the need for lengthy descriptive texts under each field, keeping the metabox more streamlined.

Who is Tooltip For?

  • Those delivering WordPress sites with customized panels who want to document each field within the interface itself.
  • Agencies managing multiple clients editing content who need to reduce support tickets about the panel.
  • Developers already using Meta Box to create custom fields who want to guide editors without cluttering the metabox layout.

How to Download Tooltip

Tooltip is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it under Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate it; remember to keep Meta Box active, since this extension depends on it. After activation, tooltip options become available in the field declarations.

Designed for those working with extensive custom forms in Meta Box, Tooltip turns the metabox into a self-explanatory interface.
