Let’s try a Tippy embed using html5 short code:
Here is a standard audio embed using the shortcode:
Here is by far the best tooltip plugin choice: “Tippy” for WordPress … a very good-looking plugin that allows html styling in the tooltip content:
And here is some text below the SoundCloud player. Might this work as a caption, once styled? Why yessir, it works great, doesn’t it?
Here is an embedded recording using the WP 3.6 audio shortcode:
<img loading="lazy" src="http://old-miracle.com/wp-content/uploads/lang_pic_for_newsletter-150x150.png" alt="lang_pic_for_newsletter" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-19783" srcset="https://old-miracle.com/wp-content/uploads/lang_pic_for_newsletter-150x150.png 150w, https://old-miracle.com/wp-content/uploads/lang_pic_for_newsletter-115x115.png 115w, https://old-miracle.com/wp-content/uploads/lang_pic_for_newsletter.png 175w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /><span class="dropcap">W</span>hen you hover over a <strong>Tippy</strong> link, you will get a popup (you can also require the link to be clicked!). And not only that, with the <strong>Tippy</strong> plugin, you can embed photos and <em>otherwise style</em> the text.
<p>Plus it works with WordPress automatic paragraphs, which this one is! I’m sure too that the CSS for the plugin could be adjusted to change the positioning of the tooltip, etc. (actually, you can position the tooltip in the “options” settings!).</p>
<p>I think we’re set with this one. Furthermore, Tippy just got updated, the author is from the US, and the code looks very clean. Another strong point: the tooltip is always visible on a page, even if the link is at the very bottom … what happens is that the tooltip moves up when necessary. I absolutely love this plugin!</p>
