• In a prior version of this plugin and of wordpress, when I hovered over the avatars with my cursor, the author name would display in a little bubble even when “show names” was not selected. Now, this only occurs when “show names” is selected. However, the hover name display is most needed when “show names” is not selected. Anyway to correct this?

    all the old version are on www.ads-software.com

    But I wouldn’t do that

    Please tell me what is not working and lets see if we can fix it.

    Hallo!

    My Blog is on Altervista and not on www.ads-software.com but now is under maintenence because we’ll be online at the end of this month. Anyway now I suspend for a few hours the maintenance page so you could see what I mean.

    The problem is when I hovered over the avatars with my cursor, the author name does not appear.
    If you want you could see my blog:

    I am not sure we the alt is not showing

    <img src=”https://bloggersinthecity.altervista.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/227631_1033666130006_7823_n-150×150.jpg&#8221; width=”80″ height=”80″ alt=”Signorina Bloggy” class=”avatar avatar-80 wp-user-avatar wp-user-avatar-80 alignnone photo” title=””>

    I did remove a not needed title (it was bad HTML) from the img

    Do you have code to disable ALT on images?

    The alt attribute is not meant to be displayed in graphical web browsers. It’s there to be used by non-graphical user agents.

    So why is the default behavior so on hover to show them?

    the HTML standard say to add a blank ALT for none

    Paul

    The only plugin that I suppose could generate some problems is WP Smush.it because I have not other plugin for Photo or similar, I use the standard media gallery of wordpress…

    So why is the default behavior so on hover to show them?

    It isn’t the default behaviour as outlined in the W3C user agent guidelines. Why Internet Explorer has consistently broken this guideline has never been explained by MS but, as far as I am aware, it is the only browser to do so. None of the other main browsers display the alt attribute. The title attribute, yes but alt no.

    the HTML standard say to add a blank ALT for none

    Assuming you mean alt="", yes that would be the correct way to proceed if the image is purely decorative. This is to ensure that it is not rendered in non-graphical user agents such as the JAWS screen reader. However, if the image is informational or acts as a link to another resource, then the alt attribute should be populated so that users of non-graphical browsers can still access this “alternative” information.

    Does that help?

    Uhm…So, considering that I am a “goat” in fact of HTML programming, so be kindly and patient, what should I go change in the html file?
