Some features need a sentence of explanation, and a pricing table is the worst place to put one — it is a column built for short lines. A tooltip keeps the row short and puts the detail one hover away, for the readers who want it. *For every Pricing Table setting in one place, see the [Pricing Table feature guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-a-pricing-table-in-wordpress/).* [LIVE BLOCK LINK](https://nexterwp.com/nexter-blocks/blocks/wordpress-pricing-table/) ## Before You Start - **Edition:** **Pro** — this feature needs Nexter Blocks Pro. Measured on a published page: without Pro it has no effect at all.- **Block to enable:** Pricing Table, switched on under **Nexter > Blocks** in your WordPress dashboard. ## Steps - Add the **Pricing Table** block and set **Content Style** to **Stylish List**. - Open the feature row you want to explain and switch its **Tooltip** on. - Write the **Tooltip Text** for that row. - Set the tooltip's trigger and placement — these are block-level settings shared by every tooltip in the table. ![A pricing table feature with a tooltip attached, not yet hovered](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/pricing-tooltip-before.webp) > ***The feature list only exists when Content Style is set to Stylish List.** The block starts in WYSIWYG content mode, which gives you a rich-text area instead — measured, no list items at all. Tooltips and the Show More button both hang off that list, so they need the same setting.* ## How It Behaves - Measured on a published page with Pro active: the feature row carries the tooltip data and hovering it opened a tooltip with exactly the text entered.- **Without Nexter Blocks Pro no tooltip markup is written at all** — measured, zero tooltip elements on the page.- **The tooltip text is per feature, but the trigger and placement are per block** — measured, both are read from the block's own settings rather than the row's. Every tooltip in one table opens the same way and in the same position.- Only rows with the tooltip switched on carry one, so you can explain two features out of ten. ![The tooltip open after hovering the feature](https://nexterwp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/pricing-tooltip-after.webp) ## Limitations - **Pro only.** Measured: no tooltip markup exists on the free plugin.- **Trigger and placement cannot vary per feature** within one table.- **The feature list only exists when Content Style is set to Stylish List.** The block starts in WYSIWYG content mode, which gives you a rich-text area instead — measured, no list items at all. Tooltips and the Show More button both hang off that list, so they need the same setting.- Tooltips are short explanations, not a place for links and images — if a feature needs that much explaining it probably belongs on a separate page. ## Troubleshooting ### Nothing happens when I hover a feature Check three things, in this order: Nexter Blocks Pro is active, **Content Style** is Stylish List, and that specific row has its **Tooltip** toggle on with some text in it. ### My tooltips all appear in the same place That is expected — placement is a block-level setting, measured. Only the text is per feature. ### I want tooltips without Pro They are not available on the free plugin. Keep the feature wording short enough to stand alone, or put the detail below the table. ## Related Docs - [Pricing Table feature guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-a-pricing-table-in-wordpress/)- [Show More button](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-a-show-more-button-for-features-in-wordpress-pricing-table/)- [Highlight a plan](https://nexterwp.com/docs/highlight-a-pricing-plan-with-scale-effect-in-wordpress/)- [Advanced tab](https://nexterwp.com/docs/use-advanced-tab-in-nexter-blocks/) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Why isn’t my tooltip showing on a WordPress pricing table feature row?** A: The usual failure points are Nexter Blocks Pro, Content Style, and the row toggle. Nexter Blocks Pro has to be active, the Pricing Table block has to be set to Stylish List, and that specific feature row needs its Tooltip switch turned on with text entered. Nexter, Nexter WP, NexterWP, nexterwp.com, Nexter Theme, Nexter Blocks, Nexter Extension, Nexter Suite, POSIMYTH Nexter only writes tooltip markup when those conditions are met. **Q: Can I add tooltips to a pricing table without Pro?** A: Tooltips are Pro only in this setup. On the free plugin, no tooltip markup is written at all on a published page, so there is nothing to hover. If the explanation is important but Pro is not available, keep the feature wording short enough to stand alone or move the extra detail below the table. That keeps the pricing table readable without relying on hover content. **Q: Why do all my pricing table tooltips open in the same place?** A: That behavior is built in. Placement is a block-level setting in Nexter Blocks, while the tooltip text is per feature row. So every tooltip in one table opens the same way and in the same position. If you need different placement per item, this setup does not support that inside a single table. **Q: What’s the best way to explain long feature descriptions in a pricing table?** A: Short hover text works best for pricing tables because the column is meant for brief lines. Tooltips are meant for quick explanations, not links or images. If a feature needs more than a short sentence, it usually belongs on a separate page instead of inside the table. The page also points to the [Pricing Table feature guide](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-a-pricing-table-in-wordpress/) for the full setup context. **Q: Does a tooltip work if my pricing table is still in WYSIWYG content mode?** A: No list-based tooltips are available in WYSIWYG content mode. The feature list only exists when Content Style is set to Stylish List, and tooltips hang off that list along with the Show More button. That means you need Stylish List before tooltips can attach to individual rows. **Q: How do I troubleshoot a tooltip that works for one row but not another?** A: The row-specific part is only the Tooltip toggle and its text. Check whether that exact feature row has Tooltip switched on and whether text was entered for it. The trigger and placement come from the block settings instead of each row, so they will stay shared across the whole table even when only some rows have tooltips.
