 * Hi,
 * Is there a way to disable the “title” tooltip attribute when you hover over a
   link?
 * Also, it appears that when you are on a particular popular post, the corresponding
   link text in the sidebar (using the widget) appears as an I-beam when hovered
   over – can this be set to a pointer instead?
 * Thanks

 * To remove the tooltip you’d need to modify the HTML output. If you share your
   site’s URL I can tell you what exactly has to be done for this.

 * Yep. Try this:
    1. Go to **Appearance > Customize**.
    2. Under **Additional CSS**, add the following:
    3.     ```
           .wpp a {
               cursor: pointer !important;
           }
           ```
       
    4. Click on **Publish** (top left of the screen) to save changes.

 * Hi Hector
 * Thanks for replying so quickly!
 * The site is not live quite yet, but I include the html output below so you can
   see what is generated:
 *     ```
       <div class="widget-wrap">
       <h3 class="widgettitle widget-title">Popular Posts</h3>
       <!-- cached -->
       <!-- WordPress Popular Posts -->
       <ul class="wpp-list">
       <li>
       <a href="https://www.northwalesgolfcourses.co.uk/abersoch/" title="Abersoch – a Challenging Mix of Traditional Links and Parkland" class="wpp-post-title" target="_self">Abersoch – a Challenging Mix of Traditional Links and Parkland</a>
       </li>
       <li class="current"><a title="Aberdovey – a First Class Traditional Seaside Golf Links" class="wpp-post-title" target="_self">Aberdovey – a First Class Traditional Seaside Golf Links</a>
       </li>
       <li>
       <a href="https://www.northwalesgolfcourses.co.uk/abergele/" title="Abergele – Golf, Castles and Spectacular Coastal Views" class="wpp-post-title" target="_self">Abergele – Golf, Castles and Spectacular Coastal Views</a>
       </li>
       </ul>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Its the html link title tooltip that I would like to hide/remove.
 * Additionally, the CSS code didnt do anything. Does the .current class need this
   rule? Its the current post/link that does not have the pointer.
 * Thanks 🙂

 * Got one fix done, this CSS worked:
 *     ```
       .wpp-list a {
           cursor: pointer !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * Thanks

 * That helps.
 * Please change:
 *     ```
       .wpp a {
           cursor: pointer !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * to:
 *     ```
       .wpp-list li a {
           cursor: pointer !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * To remove the title attribute (assuming you’re using the WPP widget):
    1. Go to **Appearance > Widgets**.
    2. Click on **WordPress Popular Posts** to expand it and access its options.
    3. Under **HTML Markup settings**, tick the **Use custom HTML Markup** option and
       save changes.
    4. Set **Before / after Popular Posts** to `<ul class="wpp-list">` and `</ul>`,
       respectively.
    5. Set **Post HTML Markup** to:
    6.     ```
           <li>
               <a href="{url}" class="wpp-post-title" target="_self">{text_title}</a>
           </li>
           ```
       
    7. Finally, click on **Save** to apply changes.
