| 1 | | Hello, I don't mean to be rude or unkind here, but I've been a user of WP for several years, and I have been reading some of the posts up there, and sincerely I believe that this is an option that should be left to WordPress software users, and that we should be decide where to target our audience and to be use with what hardware. I've always used the Link Title attribute for all my posts either in my own servers or in my WordPress.com subdomains. I don't think that the reply "we definitely removed the title attribute and are not putting it back" is a very customer oriented attitude either. Adding a title link with html code is awkward at best, and (like somebody said before) it does defeat the purpose of using a CMS. I am sure there is a way to add that title link feature as an "advanced option" that will appear only if it's set up in admin settings, so those "confused" users will never see it unless they are looking for that option. I don't think that we are the minority (for the number of posts I saw here in favor of adding back that title link feature), and without any disrespect, even minorities should have rights. As an "advanced option" suggested above (by Hansaplastique above and repeated here by myself), the majority will never see the Title Link option unless it's deliberately set in admin settings; so (as it's argued) they won't be "confused". I think, however, most WP users are smart enough to figure out the right use of that option. However, that is just my opinion (maybe a radical opinion). I hope that WordPress won't become like another Microsoft, a company that is continually getting its customers upset with their changes and bright ideas. |
