Before I publish a Snippet, perhaps you’d like to test this:
Assuming you have a Child Theme, add this to your functions.php:
add_action('wp_footer', 'rdc_suppress_tooltips');
function rdc_suppress_tooltips(){
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$("a[title]").hover(function(){
// Get the current title
var title = $(this).attr("title");
// Store it in a temporary attribute
$(this).attr("tmp_title", title);
// Set the title to nothing so we don't see the tooltips
$(this).attr("title","");
},
function() { // Fired when we leave the element
// Retrieve the title from the temporary attribute
var title = $(this).attr("tmp_title");
// Return the title to what it was
$(this).attr("title", title);
});
//Restore the title on click
$("a[title]").click(function(){
// Retrieve the title from the temporary attribute
var title = $(this).attr("tmp_title");
// Return the title to what it was
$(this).attr("title", title);
});
});
</script>
<?php
}
