Troubleshooting Calendar Tooltips

Common Issues and Solutions

My tooltip isn't appearing

Check these items:

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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)
  4. 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
  5. 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:

  1. 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
  2. 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:

  1. 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"
  2. Remove the duplicate term:
    • Edit one of the tooltips
    • Remove the term from the include list
    • Save and rebuild
  3. 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:

  1. 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"
  2. Clear your browser cache:
    • Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
    • Or try viewing in a private/incognito window
  3. 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:

  1. Edit the tooltip
  2. In the "Exclude terms" field, add:
   across
   crossroads
  1. Save and rebuild
  2. Now the tooltip won't appear when these exclude terms are found near the include term

Image isn't showing in the tooltip

Check:

  1. Edit the tooltip
  2. Look at the Featured Image section
  3. Is an image actually selected?
  4. Try uploading a different image
  5. Make sure the image file is not too large (under 100KB recommended)
  6. Save and rebuild the cache

Tooltip popup looks strange or doesn't open

Try:

  1. Refresh the page (F5)
  2. Clear your browser cache (Ctrl+F5)
  3. Try a different browser
  4. Try on a different device

If the problem persists on all browsers and devices, contact support.
