 * So i have a strange request of sorts.
    How do i make some post titles on my post
   page inactive so when you hover over them it doesn’t show a hand cursor? I have
   a list of projects listed and some have not been completed yet so i wouldn’t 
   want the post title to lead anywhere. Is this possible?

 * WordPress gives two views for editing the page. There is the “visual” and the“
   text” view tab available when editing every page. Under the “Text” tab you will
   see the markup for what is behind the visual information.
 * Select the “Text” tab for your page and then a “ctrl + F” to find the list item
   you want to disable the link for and either comment out or change the link to
   be a null link like this:
    -  [Incomplete Project](http://incompleteproject)
    - becomes
    - either <!–[–>Incomplete Incomplete Project<!–](http://incompleteproject)–>
      
      or [Incomplete Project](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-hyperlink-from-post/?output_format=md#)
    - Note: the second option will still display as a link it just won’t go anywhere
      when clicked and might create an adverse user experience by making the link
      seem broken.

 * Thanks crowesam,
    What i ‘m actually trying to achieve is to make the “Title”
   of the post itself inactive when it shows up on a list of posts on the post page
   not the content of the post.

 * i dont know of a way to have the post show up in the category but not have it
   be clickable. private posts wouldn’t be visible in the list
 * anyone have any ideas?
 * i’m guessing you’ll either need a plugin or a coder to get this done
 * can you make a page with a manually created list? that would allow you to control
   which are links and which are plain text

 * [@bernbe01](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bernbe01/), could you open a 
   new thread to discuss that; [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting#postform)

 * i thought of that but the page i want to use has already been custom created 
   to show posts that’s why i’m trying to tackle it like this without having to 
   create another template page
