down menu for the categories in my Magazine Basic theme and I came across something that started to annoy me a bit. When you hover over the menu item, and the sub-menu dropped down, a title attribute would appear and cover some of the menu. This title attribute it hard wired into WordPress. Just hover over any menu item above and you will see a yellow box appear that says something like “View all posts files under…”.</p><p>This is a useful attribute to add to any site in regards to the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100701005508/http://www.w3.org/WAI/">Web Accessibility Initiative</a>, but if it interferes with the basic navigation of your site, I think it is okay to nix it.<br/> <span id="more-359"></span><br/> Here is a simple pieces of code that you can use to remove the title attribute from your category list:</p><div class="wp_syntax"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><div class="code"><pre class="php" style="font-family:monospace;"><span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;"><?php</span> <span style="color: #000088;">$categories</span> <span style="color: #339933;">=</span> wp_list_categories<span style="color: #009900;">(</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">'echo=0'</span><span style="color: #009900;">)</span><span style="color: #339933;">;</span> <span style="color: #000088;">$categories</span> <span style="color: #339933;">=</span> <span style="color: #990000;">preg_replace</span><span style="color: #009900;">(</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">'/title=\"(.*?)\"/'</span><span style="color: #339933;">,</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">''</span><span style="color: #339933;">,</span><span style="color: #000088;">$categories</span><span style="color: #009900;">)</span><span style="color: #339933;">;</span> <span style="color: #b1b100;">echo</span> <span style="color: #000088;">$categories</span><span style="color: #339933;">;</span> <span style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold;">?></span></pre></div></td></tr></table></div><p>If you really want to get fancy, you can add this as a function to your theme’s function.php file.

It might not be using the functions.php file the same way that other themes do.
