How to remove title captions on links?

    I would like to remove those annoying and pointless title captions you see every time you put the mouse over a link. I mean, if the link clearly says (ie) “About” why would I need an extra caption also saying “About”????

    I tried the “Remove Title Attributes” plugin but for some reason is not working.

    Thanks

    It is:

    A) A function of your theme.

    B) A custom menu where the title attribute is added.

    Without a site link that is the best we can guess.

    oops, sorry about the link. Here it is:
    https://www.marysolpopfestival.com

    It is the ‘Vertical Menu’ widget.

    Here’s some additional info in case it helps:

    Because I’m a total newbie, I’m using the theme generator software “Artisteer”. Not sure this makes conflicts with plug ins or something like that.

    The CSS class that is called is ‘active’ when it is the active link which appears to be assigned on hover due to the menus design (the .js)…

    create a style in your stylesheet:

    active:hover {
     display:none;
}

    reply with results, but this may not work in all browsers and when hovered over for a long time the ‘tooltip’ may still appear…The title attribute while recommended for example at W3 Schools for validation is not required for hyperlinks…it can be turned off in modern browsers…

    My best suggestion is to pose this question to the theme dev. and they may be able to provide you with tips on how to not include it by modifying the php file it is generated from…without access to this theme setup, we can only linger as to where it is coming from otherwise.

    It’s still showing up. I will try the developer. Thanks

    You may also want to add:

    active:focus {
     display:none;
}

    Pardon my newbie-ness but can I paste this anywhere in the code? All I know is HTML for now so I’m a little confused.

    Edit /wp-content/themes/MYS-032/style.css with an FTP tool such as FileZilla but make sure to keep an unedited copy of this file should the edit go awry, which can then be easily uploaded.
    Or, one can use the built in WP file editor, but I find that many edit files there and then have no backup to use if things go wrong.

    ok, but where in the code should I paste this? You know how like in HTML you have to past some things after the <BODY> tag and some thing before it. So, where can I paste that code you gave me. Thanks

    If my instructions are not clear to you, you should hire someone before your site ends up on a blacklist or infected with malware or corrupted or taken down by your host..or all the above.

    Jeez, why the need to be so rude, I thought this was a support forum not an experts forum.

    Maybe my previous replies weren’t clear to YOU. I do know about Filezilla and the WP file editor but that wasn’t the question to begin with.

    But that’s ok, don’t waste your time with me and sorry for trying to get help in a support forum.

    The code is CSS, not HTML, and I specifically noted what file to edit and how. It was my full intention to provide (FREE) support, which I have done.

    Sorry you feel that way, we cannot teach you coding.
