   Hello,

   I'm somewhat new to this, but I was able to make some headway with just one thing holding me back from perfection. When hovering over my Categories there would be a "box" that contained the words "view all posts filed under" and then it would say the category name. You can imagine how frustrating it is when you have a drop down menu that was being blocked because of this.

   *Below I have provided a solution that gave me a 90% fix, I just need some of you smart people to help me with the last 10% as I just want a normal cursor on the screen without anything popping up when hovering over the categories.

   CODE that helped me 90%
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Go to /wp-includes/classes.php, Edit classes.php file and around line 1332.
   Here is the code you want to change.

   $link .= 'title="' . sprintf(__( 'View all posts filed under %s' ), $cat_name) . '"';
   If you just want the category name to show simply remove everything before the %s.

   This line should now look like
   $link .= 'title="' . sprintf(__( '%s' ), $cat_name) . '"';
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   See the code worked great for me to remove the "View all posts filed under", but how can I get rid of that pesky box that still pops up where the text once was?

   Take a look at my site to get a better idea if you would like, when you hover over a category.

   *If you do find a solution, if you can, please net it out in beginners terms like what to replace, what file etc.

   ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME AND I WILL DO A GOOD DEED FOR SOMEONE TO PAY FORWARD FOR YOUR HELP

   if you want to mess in core wordpress files - which is not advisable as the edits will be overwritten with the next upgrade - then you could remove all this:
   

   if ( $use_desc_for_title == 0 || empty($category->description) )
   			$link .= 'title="' . sprintf(__( 'View all posts filed under %s' ), $cat_name) . '"';
   		else
   			$link .= 'title="' . esc_attr( strip_tags( apply_filters( 'category_description', $category->description, $category ) ) ) . '"';

   however, a plugin might be a cleaner solution; for instance:
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/remove-title-attributes/

   or web search for 'remove title attributes from category list'

   It works perfect, honestly, if I was a bar right now you would be drinking free the rest of the night. Thanks again!
