 * I would suggest setting up a Child Theme with the title tag removed from the 
   navigation code. Here is a sample functions.php for the child theme: [https://gist.github.com/lyrathemes/c83a7b7a3a1f0563e095b456c00045a0](https://gist.github.com/lyrathemes/c83a7b7a3a1f0563e095b456c00045a0)

 * Ok I made a child theme. Now I need to make a new file named functions.php and
   paste the code from github?

 * Yes – but I just thought of something else. Go to Appearance > Menus and edit
   the main menu – then add your own Title attributes: [http://prntscr.com/dc5uun](http://prntscr.com/dc5uun)

 * That language switcher is custom link not a page, post or category. I activated
   the title attribute, but didn’t appear this section on my language switcher.

 * Look at this. Is from theme, really don’t know how to handle it!
 * I’ve made a new custom link named Facebook with url: “[http://facebook.com&#8221](http://facebook.com&#8221);
   and Title attribute: “Another title”. When i go to the site to test if it works,
   it didn’t.

 * Oh this is only happening with the language switcher menu? You’ll need to ask
   the plugin developers to help you with this as we’re using the default WordPress
   menu system to create/show menus.

 * Hi autohimarius,
 * I struggled with removing the tooltips, tried altering the menu attributes as
   well as. a plugin. No success.
 * What finally worked for me is creating a child theme, then adding this code to
   the new functions.php file located in: public_html or www / subfolder if you 
   use one /wp-content/themes/vega-child
 * code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_theme_enqueue_styles' );
       function my_theme_enqueue_styles() {
           wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
   
       }
       function my_menu_notitle( $menu ){
         return $menu = preg_replace('/ title=\"(.*?)\"/', '', $menu );
   
       }
       add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu', 'my_menu_notitle' );
       add_filter( 'wp_page_menu', 'my_menu_notitle' );
       add_filter( 'wp_list_categories', 'my_menu_notitle' );
   
       ?>
       ```

 * Sounds good guys. One thing though – did you want to hide the tooltip completely
   or didn’t like the default tooltip that was appearing? Just need to keep record
   in case there is something we need to fix. Best of luck with the website!

 * I am using code to show fa icons on my menu.
 * e.g. Navigation Label: <span class=”fa fa-home” aria-hidden=”true”></span> Home
 * That code works to show the icon but, was also showing as text for the tool tip.
 * The solution above was the only way I could figure out to remove the tool tip.

 * I can see that now [@bb-4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bb-4/). I am noting
   this down as a fix for our next update. I think it may have something to do with
   the library we’re using here [https://github.com/twittem/wp-bootstrap-navwalker](https://github.com/twittem/wp-bootstrap-navwalker)

 * Not this update – we pushed one last night (version 2.1). This is something we’ve
   planned for 2.1+. Thanks for following up 🙂
