How can I stop titles appearing as links?

  • Is there any way I can stop the title of each page appearing as a link? I find it really annoying that when you scroll over a title the pointer changes to a little hand and the title changes colour. It gives the impression that the title is a link to something else and its irritating to waste time clicking on it only to find that nothing happens.

    Any ideas anyone?

  • If you go to single.php in your theme files, you will be able to locate the link with the title in it.

    It will look something like:

    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

    You would change it to:

    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

    I hope this helps you,

    Hi Shane

    Thanks for your help but the new code doesn’t make any difference. I don’t know if its because my code is slightly different to yours. Mine currently says:

    <h2 class="art-postheader">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php printf(__('Permanent Link to %s', 'kubrick'), the_title_attribute('echo=0')); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a>
</h2>

    I tried deleting

    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"

    but that didnt work so I tried deleting

    <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php printf(__('Permanent Link to %s', 'kubrick'), the_title_attribute('echo=0')); ?>">

    followed by
    </a>
    No joy there I’m afraid.
    Any other ideas?
    Is it something I’m doing wrong?

    Hi Shane

    Just tried deleting the latter code from ‘pages.php’ as well as ‘single.php’

    IT WORKS!

    Thanks for all your help!
