Below is the element inspection of where the link appears that I am looking to disable.

<div id="featured-content" class="flexslider">
<ul class="featured-posts slides">
<li class="featured" style="display: list-item;">
<<strong>a href="https://kleistkreative.wordpress.com/2014/02/26/front-page-photo/" rel="bookmark"><img width="1440" height="370" src="https://kleistkreative.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/front-page-header1.gif?w=1440&h=370&crop=1" class="attachment-slider-img wp-post-image" alt="Front-Page-Header"></strong>

I love the look of the large featured image directly under the nav bar. BUT, I would like to disable the flexslider functionality. I would like to just have it as a header image almost and not a clickable link. Is there a way to do this?
