In Webflow, you can remove the linking functionality from link blocks without having to delete and recreate them as a different block type. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Select the link block that you want to remove the linking from.
  2. In the right-hand sidebar, you will see the Element Settings panel for the link block.
  3. In the Element Settings panel, you will find a field called "Link Settings" or "Link Settings (link type)". This field determines the linking behavior of the link block.
  4. To remove the linking, simply clear the content of the "Link Settings" field. You can do this by pressing the "X" icon or deleting the existing URL or link reference.
  5. Once you have cleared the "Link Settings" field, the link block will no longer be linked to any URL or reference.

By following these steps, you can easily remove the linking functionality from link blocks in Webflow without having to delete and recreate them as a different block type. This allows you to make changes to your design without losing any other associated properties or styles.

Additional Tips:

  • Removing the linking from link blocks can be useful when you want to repurpose an existing link block for a different interaction or design element.
  • Remember to also update any interactions or styles associated with the link block, if needed, after removing the linking.
  1. Select the link block.
  2. In the Element Settings panel, locate the "Link Settings" field.
  3. Clear the content of the "Link Settings" field by pressing the "X" icon or deleting the existing URL or link reference.
