[Resolved] Remove linked Featured image, not image

[Frode]

Hi

I added a featured image in a post and it display`s perfect.
The problem is when I visit the blog and click the image I get a pop up of my hole blog above the site.
Than I have to close it by clicking the cross in the right corner.
I do not want that (its not beautiful) and would like to remove the link on the image.

How can I fix?

Best Regards

Frode

It sounds like you have a plugin added that is making all links around images open a lightbox of their destination.

Good idea if the image is linking to itself or a larger image, not a good idea if it’s linking to another page as the post image does.

I would suggest letting the dev of that plugin know, as this is a bug in their plugin.

Of course, you can remove the link using this function: https://gist.github.com/generatepress/65aff21092a25e5a6f97

Hi

Thanks for helping.

You’re right, it was a nextgen plug in that say true to apply image effect on all images. I set it to apply only too nextgen images.

And now it works.

Thanks

Best regards

You’re welcome 🙂

Is it possible to get an updated code to this?

It still works to remove the link but it adds some strange classes and the style of the images looks different. I guess it’s because the code is 3 years old and some parts of the theme changed. I tried for a few hours but can’t get a clean result, would be great if you could post an updated version.

To remove the featured image link on posts page?

This should work:

[Sami]

It should remove the image links from posts on a CPT archive page and it works perfect, thank you!

Is it possible to still link to certain posts? For example, all posts that have the Taxonomy “linktopost” set to “on”.

I tried to surround your filter with:

if (is_tax('linktopost','on' )) {
THE-FILTER
}

I also tried “term_exists” and “has_term” but it didn’t work, any idea what I did wrong?

[Tom]

I think has_term() should work. Can you share your full code?

[Sami]

Sure, this is the code I’ve used:

if (has_term('linktopost','on' )) {
add_filter( 'generate_featured_image_output', function( $output ) {
    return sprintf( // WPCS: XSS ok.
        '<div class="post-image">
                %2$s
         </div>',
         esc_url( get_permalink() ),
         get_the_post_thumbnail(
             get_the_ID(),
             apply_filters( 'generate_page_header_default_size', 'full' ),
             array(
                 'itemprop' => 'image',
             )
         )
    );
} );
}

[Leo]

What if you put the if statement inside?

add_filter( 'generate_featured_image_output', function( $output ) {
    if (has_term('linktopost','on' )) {
    return sprintf( // WPCS: XSS ok.
        '<div class="post-image">
                %2$s
         </div>',
         esc_url( get_permalink() ),
         get_the_post_thumbnail(
             get_the_ID(),
             apply_filters( 'generate_page_header_default_size', 'full' ),
             array(
                 'itemprop' => 'image',
             )
         )
    );
    }
    return $output;
} );

[Sami]

That worked 🙂 Thank you for your help!

[Leo]

No problem 🙂
