Hello, when you click on a brand name below a product in our theme, it will navigate you to a collection page of all products from that brand. We would like to disable this navigation.

Thank you!

@hdkingy - in your product item file, you need to remove link code to product vendor name, it would be something like

{{product.vendor}}

make it

{{product.vendor}}

Hi @hdkingy

Please add this code to Custom CSS in Online Store > Themes > Customize > Theme settings.

.product-item__info .product-item-meta__vendor { pointer-events: none; }
