From the developer
Bojan Petkovski's own description of Tipso, lightly tidied.
Tipso is a simple WordPress tooltip plugin that displays a responsive, animated, fully customizable tooltip when the visitor hovers over the matched element.
Usage
The plugin adds a button in the editor. On click it opens a modal window where you can enter the tooltip content. It generates a shortcode and inserts it in the editor.
The shortcode
[tipso tip=”Tooltip content”]Hover me[/tipso]
You can also manually add the shortcode in the editor, or you can assing the tooltip functionality to any element simply by adding a class tipso and for the content add a data-tipso=”Tooltip content”
For making changes to the default tooltip options (background color, content color etc.) go to “Settings/Tipso Settings”
