Hello, I need some help on limiting the tooltip function to show only once for any given word.

I got a custom script working for your plugin to automatically assign a tooltip to selected words in an array. I used the great code snippet idea given here:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/automate-tooltips-via-functions-php/

It works, but shows the tooltip for each instance of the given word, in this case “ice cream”. So, all the words “ice cream” in the post now have a tooltip from Wikipedia.

How can I limit the tooltip script to show only once per any word specified in my custom tooltip automation script?

The script I use is this:
```
function add_wikitips($content) {
        if( is_single() && is_main_query() ) {
        $arr = array('ice cream');
		 for ($i = 0; $i < count($arr); $i++) {
          $content = str_replace($arr[$i], '[wiki]'.$arr[$i].'[/wiki]', $content);
		 }
        }
	  
     return $content;
}
    add_filter('the_content', 'add_wikitips'); 
```
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi jennyenr!

I think it’s better to use preg_replace function here! Here you can not only limit the number of matches but you spare the loop over the array, too. The code could look like this:
```
function add_wikitips($content) {
        if( is_single() && is_main_query() ) {
                $patterns = array( 'ice cream', 'sugar', 'cola' );
                $replacements = array( '[wiki]ice cream[/wiki]', '[wiki]sugar[/wiki]', '[wiki]cola[/wiki]' );
                $content = preg_replace( $patterns, $replacements, $content, 1 );
        }
        return $content;
}
```
Finally, I like the idea behind. I will think about a new feature of my plugin ??

Have fun!

Hey Nico, thanks for the code suggestion, but it still doesn’t work. When I use your code no shortcode is shown.

The plugin does a wonderful job as is, really. I just wanted to make sure my posts are not littered with too many tooltips if the specified word in an array appears several times in the article.

I researched for a possible solution and found a few sources, but neither worked.

Here are some examples I tried:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34667612/replace-every-element-of-an-array-in-a-string-with-preg-replace-only-once-wit

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28107596/php-force-str-replace-to-replace-only-one-of-results

https://www.designcise.com/web/tutorial/how-to-replace-only-the-first-occurance-of-a-string-in-php

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47162437/limit-str-replace-to-act-only-once-in-a-string

If you successfully add this as a new feature the plugin will become really great and even more useful for users like me ??

Cheers.
