  Hi,

  I’d like to create some code in my Custom CSS in order to override all title= on my blog. I don’t know the specifics on how to explain this, but basically I want to deactivate all mouseover texts on my blog through the Custom CSS.

  Is there a quick way to do that which would take effect even if there is a title= in a post’s text editor?

  Thanks in advance.

  Sincerely,

  Luther

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Luther, the only element I’m seeing from looking at your site that has a title attribute is the site title, NintendObserver. We can set a pointer event on that, but the issue is there is a wrapper link that overlays the entire header image, so effectively the title is under that and would still be clickable, including the entire header image area.

  Hi thescacredpath,

  That’s not really what I mean. Let me show you an example: https://nintendobserver.com/2017/06/25/noe-nintendo-eshop-sale-sonic-sale-2017/

  For instance, on this post every link on the following page has a mouseover text:
  “You can download new games, applications and other content from Nintendo eShop on your Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS family system or Wii U, and also via this website.*”

  What I want to do across the entire website, hopefully through CSS, is to deactivate that mouseover text.

  Ah, ok, now I see what you mean. Sadly there is no way for us to hide those with CSS since it is a browser thing.

  The good news (or bad news since it will be a lot of work) is that you can go into the Text/HTML tab in the editor and set the titles to be empty, like this
  <a title="" href="http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-eShop/Nintendo-eShop-Nintendo-Switch-Nintendo-3DS-and-Wii-U-109605.html"
  Note the
  title=""
  you would remove everything between the two parenthesis.

  OK. Since there’s no short way of doing, I’ll try to fix it all manually.

  Thank you for your feedback.

  You are welcome, and I wish there was. I pinged one of our developers to see if they had some magic fix, but alas, there isn’t one.
