Change hover text of links on main navigation

Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm trying to change the text of my links when you hover over them; for example:

Link reads "hohm" and when the cursor moves over it, it changes to "home"

Link reads "uh-bout" and when the cursor moves over it, it changes to "about"

I've seen custom CSS for changing link color but not actual text.

Can you share your site with protected password to check the issue?

This is a portfolio project I'm working on for a University class - since other students and our professor need to access it I'm not allowed to password protect it. The links I'm trying to modify are in the header.

Try adding this to Design > Custom CSS for first item

div.header-nav-item:nth-child(1) a {
    position: relative;
}
div.header-nav-item:nth-child(1) a:before {
    content: "home";
     font-size: calc((1.2 - 1) * 1.2vw + 1rem);
    position: absolute;
    opacity: 0;
}
div.header-nav-item:nth-child(1) a:hover:before {
    opacity:1 !important;
    visibility: visible;
}
div.header-nav-item:nth-child(1) a:hover {
    visibility:hidden;
}
