High removal-risk signals

63/100

Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.

  • Long abandoned. No update in 10+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
  • Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 4.3.34, well behind 6.8.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    In localhost works like a charm, but in live websites for an unknown reason the website goes totally blank and gets inaccessible. This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by Cristian J. Hidalgo.

    As is, this plugin is incompatible with Yoast SEO. But you can fix this by: Edit no-title-tooltips/no-title-tooltips.php and delete the last few empty (!) lines. This way Yoast’s xml sitemap will be generated without an extra line at the beginning.

    Hasn’t been updated in a little while, but still seems to work just fine. Thanks!!

    Works well, but unfortunately, it seems to work by disabling the Titles or Alt Text attribute altogether (though it says it remains in the page)? Was hoping it would work in a way that it would disable the tooltip popup when mouseover/hovering an image thumbnail… but still keep the attribute so that they could still exist as a caption within a lightbox of a clicked image. Right now, activating this plugin also removes them (which I use as a descriptive caption) from my image lightboxes.

    These little menu hover buggers were driving me nuts, until I realized what they were called, and found this plugin. It works as advertised, zapping the hover effect from the menu titles on my site. Thank you!

    This is a good solution for people using template files who do not want to modify the code, but are still annoyed by the title tooltips. Works very nicely.

    I don’t think this plugin does leave the title within the code for the search engines. When I look at the code, it’s not there. That’s unfortunate.
