Popup card on hover

That wouldn’t be very good user experience and will slow down the site from users accidentally hovering over things and triggering the popup. I wouldn’t recommend it.

With that being said, it is possible with minor customizations to the plugin.

Thanks for the prompt reply! Yes, you are right that such hover cards may pose unnecessary load on server. But, I think, it’s good for users if they are able to see a brief description of something they encounter while reading a page without breaking the continuity. I myself love this feature in Wikipedia.

So, it may be a good feature; at least for some. Can you please share that minor customisation code here for benefit of those who want to have it?

Thanks!

You’d have to edit the plugin code, but change “click” to “hover” here: https://github.com/allurewebsolutions/wordpress-post-modal/blob/master/public/js/wp-post-modal-public.js#L183

Thank you very much! Is changing ‘click’ to ‘hover’ only thing we need to change? Or there something more to it?

Thanks!

Nope, that’s it. If you want both click and hover, then you would do “click hover”

That’s wonderful!

Thank you very much for sharing the tweak. Wonderful support for wonderful plugin!

Regards!
