I am working on a theme that I built a looong time ago, and want this behaviour to stop.

I've seen reference to a $use_desc_for_title variable, but I don't know where I'd find it to change it (hopefully it can be overridden just in my theme without mucking with the main wordpress files).

Cross file search in your theme directory maybe? Notepad++ can do this. – kaiser Sep 1 '11 at 4:39

Do you meant you have built theme completely by yourself or customized it?

Quick search shows that variable name you provided is way too generic to be meaningful hint.

Any decent file manager or IDE shouls be able to search theme files for that variable, so I suggest you start with that.

it's a theme I customized based on the shades of gray template of the old sandbox theme. I searched for that variable in both my theme files and the wordpress install (assuming notepad++ find-in-files function is reliable) and nothing came up. That variable is just something I saw mentioned online. I also installed a plugin called Remove Title Attributes but it hasn't solved the problem. – Damon Sep 12 '11 at 2:15
@Damon can you find and post specific part of code that outputs categories? – Rarst♦ Sep 12 '11 at 8:16
wasn't really able to find it specifically... just references online that implied this is normal behaviour (like the fact that someone made a plug-in to correct it..) stackoverflow.com/questions/2405437/… wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/6821/… . Filter does not seem like a good choice because my categories are not in a widget – Damon Sep 12 '11 at 12:46
