You could, but that would involve editing a core file (at a guess, links.php). Any reason why you do not want this function ?
You could use ‘nicer titles’ to make it looks a whole lot beter instead ?
I don’t think this requires editing core files.
I assume you are using the default theme on your WordPress site. If you look at the theme’s index.php file and find the following line:
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
Change it to:
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
i.e. remove the “Permanent Link to” text and all will go away.
If you are not using the default theme a similar process will need to be done wherever in your themes files the links are being generated.
Westi: the only thing i have my themes index referring to Permanent Link is
php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark
but that wouldn’t relate to stuff on the side bar would it?
Podz: I want the hover just like it is, I just don’t want the text Permanent Link to show up…. why would it show up on the post links and not the page links? I know that my client/friend is going to want it gone once she sees it.
hbalagh: If the Permanent Link is test is not in index.php look in the other .php files in your theme.
Looking at your site i think the links you are talking about are in the sidebar so the best place to look would be sidebar.php
If you still can’t find them post a link to where we can download the php files from your theme and i’ll take a look for the offending lines for you.
its not in the side bar either , even though it doesn’t look like it anymore this theme started off as the anthurium theme
I found out what i had to edit…it was the my-hacks.php file 🙂 silly me
