Good day:

I would like to disable the default behavior
of my page-top site-name,
so that it is no longer a hyperlink.

I assume this is not acheive-able using CSS.

Please; What file, and what line do I need to change/add?

Thanking you in advance for your attention, time, and help.

The easiest way to remove the hyperlink is modifying your theme (page.tpl.php). Depending the theme you installed you will see something like:

<a href="<?php print $front_page; ?>" title="<?php print t('Home'); ?>" rel="home" id="logo">
   <img src="<?php print $logo; ?>" alt="<?php print t('Home'); ?>" />
</a>

You can change it to:

<img src="<?php print $logo; ?>" alt="<?php print t('Home'); ?>" />

@josedanielestrada:

Thank you very much for your reply and help. Your suggestion above has helped me to easily get the results I desired.

Your solution, however, removed the hyperlink-capability for the "Logo", whereas I wanted the hyperlink-capability removed from the "Site-name". Lucky for me, when I mimicked and applied your suggestion as follows, I got exactly what I wanted.

Thanks again, my friend.

To remove the hyper-link-capability of the Drupal 7 site-name

[Edited - 2015.02.03]

The following example was done using the theme
"Zen-7.x-3.3", but applies equally to "Zen-7.x-3.2"
since the page.tpl.php file is identical in both versions.

  1. Find your active "page.tpl.php" file.

    The location of the file "page.tpl.php"
    varies from theme to theme.

    The 'Zen base-theme' "page.tpl.php" file location is:
    [D7-root]/sites/all/themes/zen/templates/page.tpl.php

    If your sub-theme has its own "page.tpl.php" file,
    then that is the file that is actively being used;
    and the base-theme "page.tpl.php" file is ignored.

  2. Locate the following code (or similar): [Tip: Search for...
    id="site-name"]     

                <div id="site-name"><strong>
              <a href="<?php print $front_page; ?>" title="<?php print t('Home'); ?>" rel="home"><span><?php print $site_name; ?></span></a>
            </strong></div>

  3. Use "<!--" and "-->" (comment tags) to comment-out the following code:

    <a href="<?php print $front_page; ?>" title="<?php print t('Home'); ?>" rel="home">

    and also comment-out the code:

    </a>

    This is what it should look like:

                <div id="site-name"><strong>
<!--
<a href="<?php print $front_page; ?>" title="<?php print t('Home'); ?>" rel="home">
-->
<span><?php print $site_name; ?></span>
<!--
</a>
-->
            </strong></div>

  4. "Clear all caches" for the changes to take effect:

    Navigate to the 'Performance' page.
    • 'Configuration' >> 'Development' >> 'Performance'
    • [D7-root]/admin/config/development/performance

    Click the button "Clear all caches".

 


All the best; intended.

Just to correct something in the above post.

You do not need to 'Visit you Drupal 7 "Appearance" page so that the changes will take effect' when editing the page.tpl.php file. This is only necessary when editing the .info file.

@ mikeaja

Thank you for having taken time to correct my original instructions.

I have edited my instructions above, and, among other things, I removed the 'Visit Appearance page' instructions.


All the best; intended.

We have a Bartik-based site with 5 tabbed sections, one of which is Home. We want to remove link behavior from the Site Name, as well as logo, on all pages. The above-suggested modification of page.tpl.php accomplishes that for 2 of the 5 pages (Home and a Main Content page), but not for the other 3 sections/pages. Those include Book-module formatted pages but also a page that's just a contact form. We considered looking into node--book.tpl.php" but found no similar code there to modify. (nothing that seems to relate to "site-name" or "site_name")

Is there a way to verify what template a particular page is using? Does anyone have a suggestion for how to remove the sitename link in a more universal way? --Thanks--
