Disable Portfolio Links
What You'll Create
Portfolio section items in Squarespace where the clickable links are completely disabled. Visitors see your portfolio thumbnails and titles but clicking does nothing—no navigation to project pages.
The Problem It Solves
Squarespace portfolio sections always link to individual project pages by default. Sometimes you want to display portfolio items purely for visual effect without the click-through functionality—perhaps for a preview section, a decorative gallery, or when you're using the portfolio grid purely for layout purposes. There's no native toggle to disable these links.
Perfect For
Decorative portfolio displays, homepage previews without detail pages, visual-only showcases, portfolio sections used as image grids, work samples without case studies.
What Makes This Different
Uses an external JavaScript file with a custom function that targets specific portfolio items. The script removes link functionality while preserving the visual layout. You can disable links on specific portfolios while keeping others functional elsewhere on your site.
