## Description

This plugin enables you to add hint text in ACF field in addition to the default
description.

You can choose how to display your hint text from two types. One shows the button
to toggle the display of the hint text and the other is the icon, which shows help
text when the pointer is over it.

Very straight forward and useful plugin to add Hints with instructions for users
of a form created with ACF.Came across 1 minor (CSS related) issue but also found
the fix straight away, so perhaps it will finds its way into an updated version 
of the plugin 🙂
