# Remove hyperlink from categories

 * On _[ redundant link removed ]_ this page of my website I have a portfolio section
   with different projects. When you hover over an image, you’ll see the title of
   the project (in white) & the categories beneath it (in yellow). These categories
   are hyperlinked, and I don’t want them to be. I just want them to be standard
   text. I don’t want them to redirect or go to a 404, I just want the text to not
   be linked. But that is something that WordPress is doing automatically. Basically
   I want the entire image and everything inside it to only link to the project 
   page, nothing else.
 * I know this is probably a relatively simple fix with some JavaScript or something,
   but I only know HTML & CSS, so I don’t know how to do it. Can someone help me?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremove-hyperlink-from-categories%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * You will need to do this using a child theme. It looks like you are using Divi
   which is a premium theme so you will need to find out which file needs to be 
   edited from them as we don’t support premium themes here on WP.org. I can tell
   you that it will likely require editing PHP code though.
 * You can learn about child themes here [https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/](https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/)
 * Divi support can be contacted here [https://www.elegantthemes.com/forum/](https://www.elegantthemes.com/forum/)
 * Hope this gets you headed in the correct direction. Once you find a solution 
   please tag the thread as resolved.

 * Moved to Fixing WordPress, this is not a Developing with WordPress topic.
 * For pro or commercial product support please contact the author directly on their
   site. This includes any pre-sales topics as well.
 * As the author is aware, commercial products are [not supported in these forums](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/#do-not-post-about-commercial-products).
   I am sure they will have no problem supporting you there.
