Meta Box Tooltip

Custom fields are easy to misread when a label is short or technical. Clients, editors and contributors may not know what a field expects, and that leads to wrong entries and extra questions. Meta Box Tooltip lets you attach help text to a field so the explanation sits right where the person is working.

The plugin extends Meta Box and shows the help text when a user hovers over an icon tied to the field. You choose the icon, decide whether the tooltip attaches to the field label or the input, and set which side it appears on. It suits developers building admin screens for others, and site owners who want clearer forms in the backend.

Features

• Hover help for custom fields: Shows custom help information when a user hovers over the icon linked to a field, clarifying its purpose or instructions during data entry.
• All Dashicons supported: Works with every Dashicon, the native WordPress icon font, so the tooltip icons match the look of the admin area.
• Your own custom icons: Use your own icon by giving an image URL, which lets you match a brand or a particular visual style in the editor.
• Label or input placement: Attach a tooltip to the field label or to the field input, depending on how your meta box is laid out and how people use it.
• Four tooltip positions: Place the tooltip at the top, left, right or bottom of the icon, so the help text does not cover other fields.
• Built as a Meta Box extension: Meta Box Tooltip is made to work with the Meta Box plugin, adding tooltip settings to the custom fields you already create.
• Modern environment requirements: Compatible with WordPress 6 and later and PHP 7 and later, so it fits current WordPress setups.
