How to deactivate the link on the categories in the Article template

This should already exist in the Appearance->Customize->Content Options section under the ‘Display categories’ checkbox

Nevermind, this was only available with Jetpack enabled

Try the following instead in your child theme’s functions.php file

function no_cats_in_post() {
	return false;
}
add_filter( 'twentytwenty_show_categories_in_entry_header', 'no_cats_in_post' );

You can modify the no_cats_in_post wording to your liking, just make sure you update it to match in the last line of code

Hi Jarret !

thank you for your quick turnaround.

When I apply this function, the categories associated with a given ‘Acticle’ is not displayed anymore.

I was wondering if we could keep them displayed but just deactivated the hyperlink ?
so that the categories are not clickable.

thx and have a good day

Hi, it is possible but requires some extra coding. Copy over /template-parts/entry-header.php into your child theme if you haven’t already. Open up that file and look for the following code

<div class="entry-categories-inner">
					<?php the_category( ' ' ); ?>
				</div><!-- .entry-categories-inner -->

replace it with the following

<div class="entry-categories-inner">
						<?php foreach( get_the_category() as $category ) {
							echo "<div>" . $category->name . "</div>";
						} ?>
				</div><!-- .entry-categories-inner -->

Then, we need to add some custom CSS to make it look like the normal links, add the following in Appearance->Customize->Additional CSS

.entry-header .entry-categories-inner div {
	color: red;
	font-size: 1.5rem;
	font-weight: 700;
	letter-spacing: 0.036666667em;
	margin: 1rem 0 0 2rem;
	text-transform: uppercase;
}

From my testing it should replicate the categories without having them linked

Hi Jarret !

Thank you!

it works! ??

How is possible to deactivate the Categorie listing page?

Categorie listing page = the listing pages automatically generated by WordPress listing the article associated to a given category.

thx

Hmm, so you don’t want people to be able to browse example.com/category/some-category? But for all the categories on your site?

I’m sure that is probably possible, though whether advisable and if it would cause issues with how WP works I’m not sure. I would think you could just force a redirect to the homepage or something using is_category()

Would probably want to research it a bit more to see if there are potential issues from somebody that has tried it.
