# Elementor plugin hides screen reader text so the footer menu items are hidden

 * First, I register a footer menu in the theme:
 * register_nav_menus( array(
    ‘footer-1’ => esc_html__( ‘Footer Menu’, ‘wp_starter’),));
 * For some reason, WordPress renders these items with screen reader classes on 
   them: `<span class="screen-reader-text">Home</span>`.
 * The problem is is that when using the form builder Elementor, the screen-reader-
   text elements are hidden. So the items in my footer menu are also hidden!
 * What’s the login behind this? And how can I remove these screen-reader-text classes
   for the footer menu?

 * My mistake, I found the wp_nav_menu function that ads the menu in the theme location.
   And removed this code: `'link_before' => '<span class="screen-reader-text">','
   link_after' => '</span>'`
