Hi, anttilo, what theme are you using to develop the site?
Knowing the theme will help in assisting you.
Firstly, I’d add that linking to posts directly in a list of latest posts will help your visitors access your content. It’s a common pattern.
Astra provides a lot of customizability, especially if you upgrade: /wp-admin/themes.php?page=astra
I don’t think what you’re after – removing links from the blog title in a Loop – is available however.
You’re right in saying that you probably need to have some experience working with WordPress plugins and The Loop before you attempt to edit theme files, so, if you don’t, I would advise against this just to make sure things don’t break on you.
What about CSS? It might be less invasive alternative, if you feel comfortable adding some.
The following would remove the ability to click on the title link, and also remove any underline styles.
.home entry-title > a {
pointer-events: none;
text-decoration: none;
}
This is just an example, you might have to tweak it a little.
You can try this out by pasting it into the field at Appearance > Customizer > Additional CSS.
There’s a great resource about learning CSS at https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/CSS
If you’re not comfortable with CSS, then it’s fine to leave the links since I’d guess that they’d be more helpful to your visitors than not.
Hope that helps!
I found a plugin – Permalink Manger in which I’m able to modify links that they directs to all posts page, which is better than the titles link directs to same post page that you have just read. And it maybe is better to reader who now can also go to all news page without needing to find news link.
Thank you for your help, but I think that I am not ready yet to dive in to wordpress themes wonderful world. Although html, css etc. is familiar to me.
