Currently, the slideshow on the attached image below is clickable and linked to a URL. I do not want this particular slideshow to be linked to a URL.

Is there anything I can do to make it completely unclickable so it’s like any other normal background?

Any advice is really appreciated.

Hi,

Your mean here, you want to keep the button, but you don’t need it’s clickable, right?

If that you can try remove link on setting then just keep the text.

Remove the link here.

Thanks for your reply.

If I remove the link and leave the box empty, then when I click on the slideshow, it still takes me back to the top of the homepage (it’s still clickable).

If that, you can add the code bellow to base.css file, to find to that file you need go to:

Admin → Theme → Customize Code → assets → base.css:

.slideshow .slideshow__slide a{
  pointer-events: none;
}

Thanks so much

I have a same problem, but I want to delete a specific area’s links among all sections. I cannot remove links in the slide sections as it seems a required option. I just want to remove specific area’s slide links.

slide, images or buttons. Some parts allow me to remove links, some parts are not. I just want to remove the specific area’s links.

In this case what should I do?

If you want to remove link, you need go to setting and remove label and url link fields.
