Internal Link Preview Tooltip

Displays a neat and responsive preview tooltip when hovering over internal links within your post content, enhancing user experience and engagement.

Description

Internal Link Preview Tooltip is a lightweight and highly optimized plugin that keeps your readers engaged by allowing them to peek into an internal link without leaving the current page.

When a user hovers over an internal link in your post, a clean, modern tooltip appears displaying the destination post's title, a brief excerpt (or content), and a customizable "Read more" button.

Features:

• Smart Positioning: Automatically calculates space to show the tooltip above or below the link, complete with a dynamic pointer arrow.
• AJAX Powered: Fetches preview data seamlessly without reloading the page.
• Customizable via Settings: * Choose between showing the post 'Excerpt' or 'Full Content'.
  • Set the exact number of words to display.
  • Customize the "Read more" button text.
• Highly Optimized: Only targets links within the main content area, ignoring menus, sidebars, and external links to prevent bloat.
• Translation Ready: Fully localized and ready to be translated into any language.

2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with external links?

No. To protect your site's performance and UX, this plugin specifically targets internal links (links within your own domain) only.

Can I change the tooltip design?

Yes! You can easily override the CSS by adding custom CSS to your theme, or modifying the assets/int-link-preview.css file directly.
