Solid Glossary Builder with Room to Grow
by TraceMyIP·9 months ago
This is a neat solution for creating professional glossaries right in Gutenberg! The drag-and-drop interface makes building dictionaries and encyclopedias surprisingly easy. Love the A-Z navigation and lightning-fast search – very user-friendly. The SEO benefits are a nice bonus too. However, with only 4k installs and mixed 3.5-star reviews, it feels like it’s still finding its footing. The “not tested with current WordPress” warning is concerning. Great concept and solid features, but maybe wait for more updates before committing to major projects.
Nice and straight forward – but no tooltips
by Martin Sauter·1 year ago
This plugin provides one single Gutenberg block that renders a complete glossary including alphabetical index and fulltext search. Glossary terms are managed directly within this block. Very straight forward, very nice result, but limited to creating a glossary page. Terms from your glossary don’t show up in tooltips elsewhere on your website as you know it from other glossary plugins.
Great plugin
by PB·2 years ago
Easy to use, providing several functions other glossary plugins don’t: searchable, styling capabilities (Gutenberg), all the information is displayed on a single page, visually attractive. Ideal for a medical dictionary.
Couldn’t Use It
by ellice909·2 years ago
I was excited to try this plug-in but I couldn’t use it, literally.
I looked for the post-type on the admin bar but did not see it. Upon seeing reviews, you have to use Gutenberg blocks. I don’t like blocks. I am sticking with the classic editor. I thought I’d save some time from making a custom post type, but I might have to make one in the end to fulfil my dictionary-ish needs.
Useless ..
