Change author link hover text

    Hello. I’m using the following code (from GeneratePress staff) to redirect author link, displayed above the posts, to the author page, and it works great.

    The code I’m using through WPCode plugin:

    add_filter( 'author_link', 'my_author_link' );
function my_author_link() {
return home_url( 'link-to-my-author-page' );
}

    But, in addition to that, I want to display on hover the text “Author Page”. For now, it displays the default “View all posts by <the author name>”.

    Could you help me on this?
    I know this is not specific to your theme, but I would be grateful if you can give me a little help.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi there,

    Do you meant the tool tip that appears on hover?

    If so, i would need to see the site, so i can ascertain where the title attribute is.

    Thanks David for your response.

    I’m sorry if I can’t provide here my website’s url. If it’s possible, I can do it in private message or through any contact form.

    Otherwise, I’m using:

    • WordPress: 6.4.3
    • GeneratePress theme: 3.4.0

    Thanks.

    Try this snippet to change the title ( tool tip ):

    add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', 'custom_author_output_text' );
function custom_author_output_text( $output ) {
    // Define the replacement string
    $replacement = 'Author Page';

    // Search for the original line and replace it with the replacement string
    $output = str_replace(
        esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
        $replacement,
        $output
    );

    return $output;
}
