• I want to change the link-hover text for a post author in the post meta.

    The core code is…

    function get_the_author_link() {
    	if ( get_the_author_meta('url') ) {
    		return '<a href="' . esc_url( get_the_author_meta('url') ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf(__("Visit %s’s website"), get_the_author()) ) . '" rel="author external">' . get_the_author() . '</a>';
    	} else {
    		return get_the_author();
    	}
    }

    I want to change the ‘Visit… website’ text.

    UPDATE…

    I can do it a different way, by replacing <?php the_author_link(); ?> in the post meta with this:

    <?php echo '<a href="' . get_the_author_meta('url') . '" title="info about this author" rel="external">' . get_the_author() . '</a>';?>
