[SOLVED] Byline tooltip?

Using 3.5.3

I would like to change the text in the tool tip when hovering over the byline. Currently I have the byline setup for a link to a website and when hovering, it now say "Visit (authors) Website".

Anyone have ideas on how to change that.

Thanks in advance for help.

what EXACTLY do you have in the byline settings?

It is on a internal dev server right now, so I can't supply the url.

I the byline setup to link to the authors website using %author-link% in the "edit post/page info items". I would like to change the tooltip that appears when you hover over that link.

Thanks

So all you put in the by-line is

HTML Code:

%author-link%

can you provide one of the author's links that is giving the issue - you can PM it to me if you don't want to enter it here.

Sorry, juggledad, not sure what you mean. The %author-link% uses what I entered into the users profile website field. So I have that field set up as a page on the site of authors bio. I would like the change the text in the tooltip to Say " Read (authors) Bio" and not "Visit (authors) website"

Does that make sense?

Atahualpa is calling a WordPress function and it returns the entire link html. You can change the text, but you will have to edit author-template.php (it is the wp-includes folder of wordpress) and find the routine

HTML Code:

function get_the_author_link() {

        if ( get_the_author_meta('url') ) {

                return '<a href="' . get_the_author_meta('url') . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf(__("Visit %s’s website"), get_the_author()) ) . '" rel="external">' . get_the_author() . '</a>';

        } else {

                return get_the_author();

        }

}

it's line 139 in WP 3.0.1

Let me say this SIR! You are the MAN. If half of the people I work with were half as knowledgeable about any one subject as you are.......the world would be a better place.

Just my way of saying thank you!
