If an ACF field requires a longer instruction text, the layout of the edit screen is messy and a lot of space is wasted.
The ACF Tooltip plugin hides the field instructions, adds a help symbol to the field labels and generates a tooltip based on the instruction text.
New in Version 1.2.0
The tooltip will not hide if moused over, allowing create a tooltip with a link inside without hiding the tooltip.
Custom settings
There are 7 filters that allow adjusting the design and the behavior of the tooltips.
