By default tooltips will show when hovering over them. And hide when you move your mouse away from the link or tooltip.

With the Pro version, you change this behavior.

You can change the default Mode in the Tooltips system plugin settings, or overrule it using the mode parameter in the tag.

Click mode

With the Click mode enable, the tooltip will show when clicking on the link.

And it will close when clicking outside the link or tooltip. Or after the given timeout, which is set to 5 seconds by default.

Note: On touchscreen devices, Click Mode is always active - even with the Free version - and the tooltips will always be triggered by clicking on them.

Sticky mode

With the Sticky mode enable, the tooltip will show when hovering over the link, like it does with the default Hover mode.

But it will close when clicking outside the link or tooltip, like with the Click mode. Also here, it will close after the given timeout, which is set to 5 seconds by default.
