WPMonks – Gravity Forms Tooltips is an addon for Gravity Forms, a popular form builder plugin for WordPress. This addon allows you to enhance your Gravity Forms by adding tooltips to form fields, helping users understand the purpose of specific fields, offering additional instructions, or providing helpful hints. Tooltips are small pop-up boxes that appear when a user hovers over or clicks on a field label or icon, providing extra information without cluttering the form.

- The tooltips can contain text, images, or even short HTML for more advanced formatting and customization.
- Multiple Trigger Options:
- Tooltips can be triggered in different ways, such as by hovering over the field label or a specific icon or by clicking a help icon next to the field.
- This flexibility allows you to choose the most user-friendly way to display tooltips, depending on the design and functionality of your form.
- Tooltip Positioning:
- You can adjust the position of the tooltip relative to the field. This includes options like top, bottom, left, or right, allowing you to place the tooltip in a location that doesn’t interfere with the user’s interaction with the form.
- You can also fine-tune the tooltip's appearance to match your website’s design and ensure it fits neatly into the layout.
- Customizable Tooltip Styles:
- The addon provides styling options to control the look of the tooltips. You can change the tooltip’s font size, background color, text color, border radius, and more.

- The plugin provides an easy-to-use interface to configure tooltips directly from the WordPress dashboard, making it accessible even to users with limited technical skills.
- Conditional Tooltips:
- Tooltips can be displayed conditionally, meaning they only show up for certain user actions or form field choices. For example, you can set a tooltip to appear only if a user selects a specific option in a dropdown field.
