 * Hello again,
 * This is an extension on a previous question that’s been asked here:
 * [making title static on mobile only](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/making-title-static-on-mobile-only/)
 * However, I am interested in displaying the same default “on :hover” overlay-style
   card with more information for both touchscreens and none touch screens
 * Would it be possible to simulate :hover states on grid items for touchscreens?
 * Example, If I select a skin that shows the thumbnail and then shows the title
   and category within an overlay on :hover it looks amazing.
 * However, if I visit the same page on a touchscreen I see the grid item thumbnail
   but as soon as I tap in, I am taken to the post as if I clicked a link.
 * I understand the limitation of :hover on touchscreen, however, there might be
   a fix.
 * Please see the following link and let me know if implementing it would be possible

 * Hi,
    For your problem, i can’t find the solution for this. If you want, i can
   disable link in the item’s overlay so you can hover on item and no redirect. 
   Thanks!
