Common Issues and Solutions
My tooltip isn't appearing
Check these items:
- Is the tooltip Active?
- Go to Components → Monthly Calendar → Manage Tooltips
- Find your tooltip in the list
- Check if it shows as Active
- If not, edit it and turn on the Active toggle
- Did you rebuild the cache?
- Go to Components → Monthly Calendar → Rebuild Tooltip Cache
- Set the date range to include the date you're testing
- Click "Rebuild Tooltip Cache"
- Wait for the process to complete
- Does the term actually appear in your calendar?
- View the calendar day you're testing
- Check if the exact term from your include list appears in the text
- Check spelling and capitalization (though matching is case-insensitive)
- Check your include terms list:
- Edit the tooltip
- Look at the "Include terms" field
- Make sure the term is spelled correctly
- Make sure there are no extra spaces before or after the term
- Make sure you pressed Enter after each term to put them on separate lines
- Is the date in your rebuild range?
- If you only rebuilt October-December but you're testing a January date, you need to rebuild January too
Tooltip appears but shows wrong information
Solutions:
- Edit the tooltip:
- Go to Components → Monthly Calendar → Manage Tooltips
- Click Edit next to the tooltip
- Update the Title, Description, or Image
- Click Save
- Rebuild the cache
- Check if multiple tooltips match the same term:
- Two tooltips might have the same include term
- The one with higher Priority will be used
- Consider editing or deactivating one of them
Tooltip appears in the wrong place
Solution:
- Edit the tooltip
- Change the Category to "General" (this makes it appear everywhere)
- Save and rebuild the cache
Most tooltips should use "General" category unless you specifically want to limit where they appear.
The same term triggers two different tooltips
Why this happens:
- You have two active tooltips with the same include term
- The system will choose one based on Priority
Solutions:
- Different tooltips for different contexts:
- Keep both tooltips active but use exclude terms to control where each appears
- Example: "Pentecost" tooltip excludes "Sunday after" so it won't appear on "Sunday after Pentecost"
- Remove the duplicate term:
- Edit one of the tooltips
- Remove the term from the include list
- Save and rebuild
- Use Priority:
- Edit the tooltip you want to take precedence
- Set its Priority to a higher number (like 5 or 10)
- The other can stay at 0
- Save and rebuild
Changes I made aren't showing up
Steps to fix:
- Always rebuild after making changes:
- Go to Components → Monthly Calendar → Rebuild Tooltip Cache
- Make sure your date range includes the dates you changed
- Click "Rebuild Tooltip Cache"
- Clear your browser cache:
- Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
- Or try viewing in a private/incognito window
- Check that you saved:
- Go back to the tooltip editor
- Verify your changes are there
- If not, make the changes again and click Save
Term with multiple words isn't matching
Example: You added "Divine Liturgy" but it's not being linked.
Check:
- Make sure the term is on its own line in the include terms field
- Make sure there are no extra line breaks within the term
- The exact phrase "Divine Liturgy" must appear in your calendar text
- Multi-word terms only match the exact phrase, not the individual words
Try this:
- Edit the tooltip
- In include terms, add both:
Divine Liturgy
Liturgy
- This way "Liturgy" by itself will also match
- Save and rebuild
Tooltip keeps matching the wrong instances
Example: A "Cross" tooltip is matching the word "across" or "crossroads"
Solution - Use Exclude Terms:
- Edit the tooltip
- In the "Exclude terms" field, add:
across
crossroads
- Save and rebuild
- Now the tooltip won't appear when these exclude terms are found near the include term
Image isn't showing in the tooltip
Check:
- Edit the tooltip
- Look at the Featured Image section
- Is an image actually selected?
- Try uploading a different image
- Make sure the image file is not too large (under 100KB recommended)
- Save and rebuild the cache
Tooltip popup looks strange or doesn't open
Try:
- Refresh the page (F5)
- Clear your browser cache (Ctrl+F5)
- Try a different browser
- Try on a different device
If the problem persists on all browsers and devices, contact support.
