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.

== Installation ==

  1. Upload the int-link-preview folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install the ZIP file via the WordPress Plugins menu.
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to Settings > Link Preview Tooltip to configure the word limit, content type, and button text.
  4. Done! Hover over any internal link inside your post content to see it in action.
