Post “Coming Soon”

  • Hey! I would like to make some posts in my blog to not be clickable, or “coming soon” in other words. My normal posts have a green color on hover using:

    .wp-block-query li:hover {
    background: #9DFF20;

    I would like to have certain posts to be grey on hover and not clickable. Do you have any thought on how I might accomplish this? Thank you for the help.

    Hi @danachew – could you explain a little more? it sounds like you’re meaning you have a desire to have some posts show their title – but have no way for users to visit the actual post – is that right?

    Yes that’s exactly right. If you visit this page: https://petitworkshop.com/ I would like some of the posts to be visible but not able to be clicked on or viewed. I use categories to organize my posts, I was thinking maybe having a ‘coming soon’ category and having those be the posts that are not clickable.

    Here is an example of another website that has a feature similar to the one I’m going for, with the posts visiblw on the homepage but not clickable: https://frankiepappas.com/furniture-makers/#

    Hey @danachew – thanks for the confirmation ??

    The short answer is that there’s not really a way to do that within the core functionality of WordPress. Even if we could make the links not clickable – the posts would still technically be published.

    The only way I can think would be to manually have a section where you listed the titles of coming posts.

    Well I think that would be okay. Lets say we published a post under the ‘coming soon’ category, do you think there’s a way to not make that post clickable on the home screen? I understand the post would still be published, just not clickable.

    Thanks for helping me work through this!

    Hey @danachew – there’s not really a way to do that, no. As long as the post is published – links to it will remain clickable.

    Gotcha, thanks for the help anyways.
