The float itself isn’t directly causing the issue. Tippy stores tooltip data in hidden divs that it tacks on to the end of a post. Normally this works fine without causing a position issue, but in your case you have a div within your article, the div is floated to the right, and the div contains the tooltip links. Since the tooltip data is being tacked on at the end, it’s positioned outside the div and thus sets its position relative to the article, not to the floated div.

Possible fix:

This is a bit hackish and requires Tippy 6.1.0 which I released tonight. In your tooltip shortcode, add the attribute subtip=”true” – when Tippy is working with a nested tooltip, it places the hidden data right at the tooltip link. In your case, this is what you want, so even though you’re not using a nested tooltip, I think subtip=”true” will fix the problem for you. There are a few possible issues with putting the data right with the link: it’s stored in a block-level element (a div) and most browsers don’t like putting block-level elements inside things like paragraph tags, so it can potentially cause breaks in a document’s flow, but experiment and see if it works for you.

Please let me know if this takes care of it.

I hadn’t thought of loading Tippy in that way. By default, Tippy sets up its magic at document ready. If it doesn’t do that setup, the tooltips won’t work.

What does Ajax Page Loader offer to let you execute javascript when it loads a new page? I could look into some sort of refresh function in Tippy if there’s a way to call it when Ajax Page Loader does its thing.

Can you give me a link where you’re having trouble? I’ve not run into issues with Tippy cross-browser. For instance, if you check my site, https://croberts.me/ you should see the tooltips in any of the browsers you named.

I’ll make a note to add that feature to Annie. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the info, that should be helpful. There is no significant change in the dependency, but a lot of people using the ESV Plugin are also using my Tippy tooltip plugin and Tippy recently got a major update. The only changes made to the ESV Plugin is to get it working with the latest Tippy, so you’re not losing anything by running 3.9.1.

With the info you’ve provided I should have a better chance of tracking down the problem. The next update will hopefully fix it, though again, you’re not missing anything by sticking with 3.9.1 for now (except the annoyance of WordPress telling you there’s an update available).

I’ve had a few reports of this. It’s tricky to fix because I haven’t been able to duplicate the problem, so I’m not sure what’s causing it.

Can you post a few additional details:
Are you using this with Tippy?
Have you changed any ESV Plugin settings away from default values?
What version of WordPress?
If you know it, what version PHP is on your server?

Thanks.

Thanks for the solution. I’ll look over this. I was checking into it some after reading your message last night and wasn’t quite sure the best way to tackle the problem.

Sorry about that, jquery.tippy.css is the file now. I need to update the documentation on that. Any changes to that file should take effect (though it is still recommended that you copy the file to your theme folder; if you edit it in the plugins folder, your changes will disappear when you update the plugin). Either way, modifying jquery.tippy.css in place or copying it to your theme folder and modifying it there should apply the changes you are trying to make.

What styling are you trying to change?

Is it not showing anything or is it showing wrong? Any error showing up or a url where I can see where you’re trying to get it?

I tested it inside a text widget and inside a TablePress table inserted into a text widget.

Just posted 6.0.7 which should fix the problem. Let me know if trouble continues.

Tippy uses a new method to insert content which doesn’t work well outside of posts. If you added Tippy to the sidebar programmatically, you need to add the line Tippy::insert_tippy_content(); but if Tippy is being used inside a widget or some such that allows shortcode content, I’m still trying to figure out a way to address that.

I’ve just written a brief demo for this:

Just posted version 5.3.2 which I think will fix the problem. Please let me know if you continue to see an issue.

Just posted 5.3.1 which should fix the issue. Be sure to let me know if you see any problem with it.

I made some changes in 5.3 to accommodate the new swapimg feature, but one of those changes made images work badly for most people. I had planned to already have an update out to fix it but it has been delayed. I’ll try to get it out today, it should be version 5.3.1.
