Support » Fixing WordPress » "Permanent Link" to on post titles

  • I’ve looked at everything I can find on this topic.
    I did a fresh install (several, in fact) with the newest WP, no plugins, default theme- I get “Permanent Link to” in front of the post titles on hover.

    I did find that on the twenty twelve theme, I could resolve it by changing a theme > content.php file, as suggested here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-remove-the-permanent-link-tag-when-hovering

    However, several of the themes I wanted do not have the content.php file (I have no idea if this is a problem as I do not play with codes/ files unless under extreme pressure)

    I had also found suggestions about changing the .htaccess file, however that already matches suggested changes.

    I have several installs on a shared host. I have tried to mimic the exact settings of the one install that is functioning properly, but that does not seem to work either.

    Here is one of my sites that is having the issue: http://802peeps.cobiography.com/

    Any help appreciated! Thank you.

  • The site you link has the Twenty Twelve theme and will, of course, respond to the changes as outlined in the support link.

    If the theme you are trying to remedy is one you bought, then you should ask there for support.

    However, if it is one that is available through http://wordpress.org/themes/ then perhaps change it to this in the site you provided so we can take a closer look.

    Thank you- I have switched it to one of the themes I have tried using: Custom Community: http://802peeps.cobiography.com/

    I have tried both premium and free themes and keep running into this issue. Thanks again for your thoughts!

    In the CC theme, these are two places where you can make the changes … using a Child Theme of it of course 🙂

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    *- index.php on line 45 *
    – (theme_folder)/core/includes/wp/shortcodes.php on line 427

    * not sure about how to “properly” address this (index.php) using a child theme. You’ll have to do some more research on that (I will too 🙂

    How I “do this at home” quickly, is use the text editor NotePad++ and use it’s search files function (with sub directories checked). Quickly returns a list of all occurrences of the search term along with the file name and line number with the term highlighted. Perhaps try it on another theme you have in mind.

    Excellent! I was able to fix the issue in the Custom Community theme (simply had to eliminate the permanent link text). But, the child theme is much harder as the only files there are style sheets. I guess I’m missing something.
    Also having a hard time finding where to locate the right files in other themes.
    I never had this issue before, so it seems strange to be happening all of a sudden.

    Check the last paragraph in my post 🙂 I use NotePad ++ to search for the term in all the files in the theme’s folder.

    This is the default behavior with the default theme 🙂 To be honest, I had never even noticed until I came across this topic! 🙂

    Thank you! I will continue to work on this. It does baffle me a bit though as even if it is the default setting, it didn’t occur in other installs. Now I can’t get rid of it without changing code.
    I appreciate your help.
