What It Does

This plugin removes native browser tooltips while preserving accessibility.

By default, when you hover over an element with a title attribute, the browser displays a native tooltip. These tooltips often do not match your website's design and can be distracting or redundant.

Hide Titles On Hover solves this by replacing all title attributes with aria-label attributes. This preserves accessibility for screen readers while preventing tooltips from appearing on hover.

No settings required. Just install and activate.

Key features include automatically removing all native browser tooltips, full accessibility via aria-label for screen readers, and zero configuration – plug and play.

It works site-wide out of the box. If you want to disable it on specific pages, you can selectively deactivate it using the free plugin Freesoul Deactivate Plugins.

This allows you to deactivate Hide Titles On Hover only on pages where you still want tooltips to appear.

For more control and a better user experience, consider upgrading to the PRO version: Custom Title Tooltip.

With Custom Title Tooltip, you can keep tooltips but fully customize their appearance to match your theme with controls for colors, font size, radius, tooltip position, and more!

Ideal for designers who want full visual control, accessibility-conscious developers, and minimalists who prefer a cleaner user experience.
