   Hello,

   I try removing the title from the top menu, but it doesn't work. i mean the
   

   <a href="http://bla.com/news/">title="news"news</a>.

   I need it, because I want to use a qTip on all links, but in the top navi it looks horrible when there's also the submenu appearing.

   I tried the following code in my functions.php
   

   //removes title from top menu
   
   function my_nav_notitle( $menu ){
     return preg_replace('title=\"(.*?)\"','', '', $menu );
   }
   add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'my_nav_notitle' );

   and also altered the title=\"... line a bit, but could not find anything that works.

   Can you help, please?

   Thank you!!

   Your args are out of place and your first arg is missing delimeters..
   

   preg_replace('| title=\"(.*?)\"|', '', $menu );

   See if that helps... ;)

   Hey Mark,

   thanks for your answer, sadly it doesn't do the trick, even after cache purging.
   And even with wrapping the wp_nav_menu function into the my_nav_notitle.
   It simply doesn't work.

   Just for testing, I also tried this http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/2574/remove-wrapping-div-and-ul-from-output-of-wp-nav-menu
   solution to remove the <div>

   before the navigation, but it also doesn't work.

   This is how I include the navi into the header.php with one of the functions for the case the add_filter part doesn't work:
   

   <?php my_nav_unlister(wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'depth' => '2' )) ); ?>

   with the linked function.

   and even if i write
   

   <?php preg_replace( array( '#^<ul[^>]*>#', '#</ul>
   $#' ), '', (wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'depth' => '2' )) )); ?>

   or
   

   <?php preg_replace('| title=\"(.*?)\"|', '', (wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu-header', 'theme_location' => 'primary', 'depth' => '2' )) )); ?>

   it doesn't want to change.

   Is it possible, the mistake is (also) elsewhere?

   This works just fine for me..
   

   function my_nav_notitle( $menu ){
     return $menu = preg_replace('|title=\"(.+)\"|', '', $menu );
   }
   add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'my_nav_notitle' );

   Just make sure you've assigned a menu to your registred nav menu location, else it'll render a page menu(the fallback) in place, which won't adhere to the filter(since it's a different kind of menu)..

   Thanks again, Mark. I did not know wp_nav_menu would become wp_page_menu automatically. So after changing my code to wp_page_menu and
   

   function my_nav_notitle( $menu ){
     return $menu = preg_replace('/ title=\"(.*?)\"/', '', $menu );
   
   }
   add_filter( 'wp_page_menu', 'my_nav_notitle' );

   it did work at the end.
