Remove title attributes from WordPress menu wp_nav_menu

admin — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 12:29:31 +0000

If you’re reading this then you are looking for a solution to remove those annoying title attributes from menus generated by WordPress built-in functions wp_nav_menu(), wp_page_menu(), wp_list_categories(). Some might argue against removing those because of the accessibility issues it might introduce, but in most cases those annoying tooltips that are being displayed by browsers when the title attribute is found usually look rather bad and we want to keep out navigation clean, don’t we?

The solution is quite simple. We will utilize regular expressions to do that. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with them, just follow instructions below and it will work.

Simply edit your theme’s functions.php and add the code below to it

function remove_title_attr( $nav )
{
return $nav = preg_replace('/ title=\"(.*?)\"/', '', $nav );
}

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'remove_title_attre' );
add_filter( 'wp_page_menu', 'remove_title_attr' );
add_filter( 'wp_list_categories', 'remove_title_attr' );

You don’t have to add filters to all of the functions, just leave one/ones you use.

Remove HTML links in WordPress post comments

admin — Mon, 30 May 2011 22:00:09 +0000

Here’s a quick tip on how to remove those nasty spammy HTML links that people leave in your blog comments. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing bad in having links in comments but there’re many people who abuse this feature nowadays to create backlinks to their sites, leaving silly comments like “Hey your blog is awesome! Check out my “castration kits” website” or something stupid like that.

This can get really annoying so if you want to remove links in your WordPress comments all you need to do actually is to include this little bit of code in your theme’s functions.php file.

remove_filter('comment_text', 'make_clickable', 9);

That’s it. Save the file and upload it to your theme’s folder. You now won’t see any links in your blog comments. Enjoy spam free blogging.
