Works Still Sept 2022

There is no reasonable way that I am going to get my clients to add a title attribute to links in a code edit. I am not sure why WP would go out of it's way to remove an existing feature that really did not hurt anyone. I am glad to have a no-code option to put in title attributes again, it is a good little hint for visual and non-visual users (on screen readers). I am glad to have some accessibility back. I will definitely put this on all my client sites from now on. Thank you!

Thanks

I am not a huge fan of wordpress, I do most of my own website design by hand, but some clients want a WP site, as much as I tell them NOOOO.

WP does a good job and has some awesome plugins to make my life somewhat easier.

This is not a deal breaker if this was not here, but I would stand my ground not to do WP sites. But with this plugin, at least there is hope.

Thank you.

Worked perfect out of the box.

Uploaded and it instantly fixed my problem with no hassle.

  • Fix the updateFields issue. When you click on a link from the search results, it should now populate the title correctly, like the old versions did.

1.2

  • Changed the JS to use original wpLink functions for everything except htmlUpdate, to improve compatibility. Ref: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32180
  • Fix issue with title field not resetting on a new link

1.1

  • Rewrite mostly by SergeyBiryukov to be somewhat smaller and more forward compatible.
