Description

3task Glossary helps you create professional glossaries, dictionaries, wikis and knowledge bases using the WordPress page hierarchy you already know. No complex setup required - just select a page as your glossary, and its child pages become your entries.

Perfect for:

  • Glossaries - Define technical terms, jargon, acronyms
  • Dictionaries - Build word lists with definitions
  • Knowledge Bases - Create support documentation
  • Wikis - Organize encyclopedia-style content
  • Lexicons - Academic and scientific term collections

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the appearance?

Yes! Choose from 2 color schemes (Emerald, Slate), 2 navigation styles (Buttons, Pills), and dark mode settings (Auto, Light, Dark). Pro version offers 6 color schemes, 3 navigation styles, and custom colors.

Can I use this for a dictionary or wiki?

Yes! The plugin works great for dictionaries, wikis, knowledge bases, lexicons, and any A-Z indexed content. Each child page becomes an entry with its own URL.

Does it support German umlauts and special characters?

Yes! German umlauts (Ä, Ö, Ü, ß) are properly sorted under their base letters (A, O, U, S). Works with Hebrew, Greek, Arabic and other languages too.

Does it work with my theme?

Yes! The plugin uses clean, semantic HTML that works with any WordPress theme. It includes 2 color schemes (Emerald, Slate) and dark mode support. Pro version offers 6 schemes + custom colors.

How do I create a glossary?

  1. Create a regular WordPress page (this will be your glossary index)
  2. Create child pages under it (each child page is an entry)
  3. Go to 3task Glossary menu and add your page as a glossary
  4. That's it! Your page now shows A-Z navigation and links to all child pages.

How does auto-linking work?

Free version: Automatically links glossary terms within your glossary pages only.

Pro version: Site-Wide Auto-Linking! Automatically links glossary terms across your ENTIRE website - every blog post, every page. Huge SEO benefit through internal linking. This is the #1 reason users upgrade to Pro.

How many glossaries and entries can I add?

The free version has no artificial limits. Create as many glossaries and entries as you need. Pro adds automation features like site-wide auto-linking, tooltips, and import/export.

Is it SEO-friendly?

Yes! The plugin uses proper semantic HTML structure, clean URLs (your existing page permalinks), and doesn't add any bloat. Your existing page SEO remains intact.
