The instruction text for ACF fields is useful, but creates visual clutter in the WordPress interface when there is a lot of instructional text. Thomas Meyer has created a great plugin to address this issue with his [ACF Tooltip Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-tooltip/). However, when using this plugin on implementations that have a large number of ACF fields, I have seen that performance drops and load-time of the WP Dashboard increases. This plugin, ACF Simple Tooltip, is a lightweight solution that uses only two lines of JavaScript to add classes to ACF field labels which have instruction text. CSS takes care of the rest (creating the „info“ ⓘ icon, styling the instruction text as a tooltip, and creating the hover functionality for showing the tooltip). Simply install the plugin, and the JS and CSS will enqueue on any post.php page in the WP Dashboard. ### Contact This is an initial version, so please contact me if you find any issues while using the plugin. Happy developing! ## Screenshots * [[ * Simple tooltip on an ACF Checkbox (True/False) field. * [[ * Simple tooltip on an ACF Button Group field. * [[ * Simple tooltip on an ACF Checkbox (True/False) field group. * [[ * Simple tooltip on an ACF Repeater field group. ## FAQ ### Has this plugin been tested with the Advanced Custom Fields plugin? Yes. ACF Simple Tooltip should work with the latest version of Advanced Custom Fields. ### What do I need to do to get this to work on my WordPress installation? Simply install the plugin and activate it. No additional settings required. ### What about support? Please submit a support ticket at WordPress forum. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/88a067fc1a5ecda41cda1b547720acc32b366b46dba6341b5ad94b0e5a11d6e5? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[So simple, so perfect – does just what it says!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/so-simple-so-perfect-does-just-what-it-says/)󠁿 [yabwee](https://profiles.wordpress.org/yabwee/) 25. Juli 2020. It would be nice to add an easy way to choose a preset style, but I really can’t complain. I just used a little custom CSS on my own to tweak it.
