They serve no useful purpose. karlgroves sabernhardt "This is a full list of methods, including what files they're from, where HTML title attributes are in use. The title attribute provides a tooltip on certain browsers. Other than that, it is essentially useless. As provided in WordPress, the title attribute is both redundant and useless, because in most cases, it is a complete duplicate of the link's text. Therefore the tooltip provided is of no value whatsoever. For users of assistive technologies, the title attribute is useless at best and sometimes an annoyance. Users of text-to-speech software who have configured their software to do so will hear the title attribute twice. Essentially the extensive use of title attributes throughout WordPress Core amounts to unnecessary code bloat. I recommend eliminating the title attributes from all of the methods below: {{{ // user.php wp_authenticate_username_password() // post-template.php wp_page_menu() wp_get_attachment_link() // media.php get_image_tag() // media-template.php wp_print_media_templates() // link-template.php edit_term_link() edit_post_link() edit_comment_link() edit_bookmark_link() get_adjacent_post_rel_link() the_shortlink() // default-widgets.php widget() // comment-template.php comments_popup_link() comment_form() // class-wp-theme.php markup_header() // class-wp-editor.php wp_fullscreen_html(). There is one title attribute here on what I think is a TinyMCE button. If that looks like a button, it should actually be a button. // class-wp-customize-section.php render() // category-template.php get_category_parents() get_the_category_list() wp_generate_tag_cloud() start_el() // bookmark-template.php _walk_bookmarks() // author-template.php get_the_author_link() the_author_posts_link() wp_list_authors() // rss.php wp_rss() get_rss() // general-template.php get_calendar() // class-wp-admin-bar.php _render_item() }}} * Note: Ignored: All Third party classes " task (blessed) accepted normal Future Release Administration normal title-attribute a11y-task ui, accessibility
