Excellent glossary plugin

by Jordi Jansen·3 weeks ago

Great plugin and very useful for adding clear explanations and tooltips to my website. It’s flexible, easy to configure and works perfectly with my WordPress setup. I also contacted support with a few questions and received quick and clear answers. Very happy with the plugin. Highly recommended.

Very useful

by sharonvillines·5 months ago

Glossary is very useful for many things — adding links on rollovers, reminders, instructions, etc. It works very well.

For full features, Glossary is valuable for its full license

by mangoman·7 months ago

Admire the free features but I found it even more useful for the premium features. Excellent support for troubleshooting & help. The built-in license migration from staging URL to live site was flawless and easy. Thanks for continuing plugin development!

Solid features. Superb support.

by uxdesign·7 months ago

The Glossary plugin works as expected. Not without a few UI/labeling quirks. But truly superb support turns its minor issues in to micro issues.

One of the best plugins overall, well worth lifetime license!

by kensonplays·1 year ago

One of the best plugins I’ve purchased for my site! I’ve used Glossary for more than just word definition popups. I also use it for a few other less glossary-like functions, like automatic pillar content post linking.

This, in addition to WPMU’s hosting and their pro plugins has given me a 100 pagespeed score on desktop, 90+ on mobile. Keep up the great work!
