Title: Edit hover text Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Edit hover text * [hbalagh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbalagh/) * (@hbalagh) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-hover-text/) * I like that it will display the name of the title of the post when you hover over the link to the post (in side bar or where ever) how ever i do not like that it says Permanent Link: Title post * is there a way to just have it say * Title post * w/o the permanent link text * thanks in advance 🙂 * see my site in my name if you want to see what im referring too.. it doesn’t show it in the pages only the articles (post) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-hover-text/#post-256604) * 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 ? * [Peter Westwood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westi/) * (@westi) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-hover-text/#post-256606) * 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: * `

` * Change it to: * `

` * 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. * Thread Starter [hbalagh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbalagh/) * (@hbalagh) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-hover-text/#post-256656) * 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. * [Peter Westwood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/westi/) * (@westi) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-hover-text/#post-256710) * 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. * Thread Starter [hbalagh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbalagh/) * (@hbalagh) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-hover-text/#post-256714) * its not in the side bar either , even though it doesn’t look like it anymore this theme started off as the anthurium theme * Thread Starter [hbalagh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbalagh/) * (@hbalagh) * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-hover-text/#post-256762) * I found out what i had to edit…it was the my-hacks.php file 🙂 silly me Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Edit hover text’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 6 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [hbalagh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hbalagh/) * Last activity: [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/edit-hover-text/#post-256762) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
