Title Attributes in Text editor defaulting

Hey Matt,

I’m not sure I understand the problem, could you check your post or try to explain a bit further please?

Hi Matt,

That is not what the title attribute is for, it’s for plain text only. If you are trying to link somewhere then please try something like this:

<a href="https://your.site/link" title="my title">Text of link</a>

Hi,

Your last link works, the only problem I can see is that you have an extra double quote in the title attribute.

Hi Matt,

Ok, but like I mentioned earlier; the title attribute is not meant to hold links, it’s meant for plain text only: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_global_title.asp

Hi,

Thanks for the the clarification. Where can we see and reproduce this problem on an actual site?

Hi,
Thanks for the login, to add a title to a link, please edit the link in the “Text” tab of the editor:

or you could use a plugin if you want:

Hi,
There is not a built-in way to do so, but you can with some jQuery. This example will add a title to a button, but you can change the classes in the script to make it work with most ant element.
First we will add a custom class to a button, please ensure that your option at Enfold Theme Options > Layout Builder > Show element options for developers is checked, we added “blue” as a class, without it the title would show on every button, which might be ok if the title was going to be “button”:

Then we will add this code to the end of your functions.php file in Appearance > Editor:

function custom_script(){
  ?>
  <script>
(function($){
  $(document).ready(function(){
$('.blue a.avia-button').prop('title', 'your new title');
  });
  })(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'custom_script');

please note in the script the target is: .blue a.avia-button and the title is: your new title
which you can edit to suit:
