 * Hello,
    We love your plugin and we are overall very happy with it. Just this 
   issue came up : We have created a gallery, each photo leads to a specific page
   of our website. That works fine but when you hover on one of the photo, the name
   of the photo shows. We would like to hide this. Is there a way to do that? Thanks
   in advance for your help on that
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhide-link-on-hover%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * That’s normal, and that’s not because of this plugin 🙂 It’s simply because there
   is an ALT text associated with this image, which is not only normal, but also
   recommended for many reasons (SEO and accessibility, mainly).

 * Thanks for your prompt reply….
    Just to be sure… there is no way we keep the 
   ALT text and not show it on hover?

 * Hi,
 * The only way would be to write a script to remove all the “titles” and “alt” 
   after the page has been loaded; that way, Google would probably use them, but
   they would be removed while the user is browsing the page 🙂 But definitely not
   recommended.

 * Thanks a lot for confirming Jordy about the ALT text, I understand its importance.
 * However, just for the purpose of making sure the ALT text was what was bothering
   me, I removed the alt text of the first photo of the gallery on this page: [https://www.sylben.net/se-rencontrer/](https://www.sylben.net/se-rencontrer/)
   
   and the name of the photo still shows on hover!
 * FYI, this never occurs in the galleries when I haven’t added any links to the
   photos, even though they also have a ALT text, as seen on this page:
    if you 
   scroll to year 1994, there is a gallery, these photos that don’t have a link 
   and the name of the photos don’t show on hover…. [https://www.sylben.net/qui-suis-je/](https://www.sylben.net/qui-suis-je/)
 * My understanding is that when the photo in the gallery has a link URL associated
   to it, then the name of the photo shows on hover…. Am I missing something?
 * Thanks in advance for following up
