Disable specific post title link

Well.. do you want to disable the link on one specific post… or one entire category?

If post… then you will need to get the “post ID”.
If category.. then you will need to get the “category slug”.

Once you make this decision, and get the appropriate information, then you can modify your code above to first check if it is that specific post or category… then proceed to display the link… or not.

Hi Josh, thanks for your response.. Could you please tell me how to do that?
Yes one post would be good for me. The post ID is 127.
If you could tell how to do it for a specified category it would be great too!
The category slug is ‘welkom’.

Thanks again!

You bet ??

Okay.. on your code… if we are checking for a specific page, let’s try this:

if(!is_page(127)) {
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
}

If we are using a category; it will appear as so:

if(!is_category('welkom')) {
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
}

Lastly… if we wanted to do BOTH posts AND categories:

if(!is_page(127) || !is_category('welkom')) {
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
}

EDIT: Depending on how you have things setup… you may have to use is_single() instead of is_page(). But, let’s try the above first.

Thank you! Can you tell me how to put it exactly in the content.php code? Or is it possible with css only?

<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
	<header class="entry-header">

		<div class="entry-thumbnail">

Okay… again, it’s kind of hard to say specifically… without knowing your exact, specific intentions..

But.. let’s try this.
https://pastebin.com/zwjeehSi

Copy and paste the entire contents of that pastebin into your content.php file.

NOTE: If this is part of your current themes files.. then your changes will be over-written the next time you update your theme. Instead, you should be using a child theme to preserve your changes.

Hmm okay I tried your pastebin content.php within my child theme but unfortunately it did not work.

My goal is to disable the linking of one specified post title because I use that post as a sticky welcome message on the homepage. I was already able to hide the meta information of this post by putting this css into my style.css

#post-127 .entry-meta {
display:none;
}

I really appreciate your help! Thanks again:)

but unfortunately it did not work.

What exactly did not work?
Did you receive an error?
Did any content whatsoever show up?
Does it still display the title, but without a link?

Specifics on how exactly it didn’t work will help me to further refine the code ??

Try this pastebin:
https://pastebin.com/eCXKMdcE

Nothing happened. I cleared all cache but still the title was linked.
I did not receive an error etc.. It still display the post title with link.
Also with the new pastebin still nothing happens..

Okay.. what is the weburl where these posts are displaying?

Hi Josh, i’ve send you a pm at your email. Thanks!

Answered you back ??
