Is there an easy option to disable links to Artist or Album posts from Artist or Album pages, respectively?

In ideal scenario, albums or artists would populate the Albums or Artist pages, but they would not link to the individual album or artist posts.

I’d prefer not to have to edit the individual page php files, as such edits would be lost with future theme updates.

Thanks!

Yes we will see if that can be added in the future updates to avoid going to individual I mean the single pages but confused about how you will be displaying the songs to the albums unless it goes to single page it won’t display the songs.

Thanks for your response.

The theme is being customized for what’s needed, and the artists/albums pages are only being used to show credits. If being used for production credits, and you’re not trying to tell a story about each artist or album, loading the individual page is unnecessary and undesired.

It would be great to have that functionality in a future update. But, since we’ve got to do this the hard way for now, what code and files need to be edited to block this function?

In the template_albums.php file, I’ve identified the following code as the possible section that needs to be edited to achieve it? Please advise.

foreach( $audio_artist_name as $audio_artist_id){
						$permalink = get_permalink(  $audio_artist_id);
						$playlisttitle = get_the_title(  $audio_artist_id);
						$audio_artist[]= '<a href="'.$permalink.'">'.$playlisttitle.'</a>';
					}

Thanks!

You need to remove the coding as shown below in the template_albums.php file.

Remove Code

echo '<div class="hover_type">';
echo '<a class="hoveraudio"  href="' .get_permalink(). '" title="' . get_the_title() . '"></a>';
echo '</div>';

and

Find Code
<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php printf( __( "Permanent Link to %s", 'musicplay' ), esc_attr( get_the_title() ) ); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

Replace Code
<h2 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

Similarly you need to do that in the other templates wherever you want to achieve that option. If you have any doubts or need help we are available on Skype Support 🙂
