WooCommerce: Remove Product Links @ Cart Page

We’ve already seen how to remove the product permalink from the “order table” (the one you see on the Thank you page, My account pages and emails). Thsi time, we’re looking at doing the same thing on the Cart page, which uses different “hooks” than the order pages and therefore requires its own snippet.

Here’s how it’s done – as usual 1 PHP line is sufficient!

add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_item_permalink', '__return_null' );

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101

  1. When I do this it does indeed remove the link but it also makes the text white, even though I have links set to a blue color. I can’t find a workaround for this, please help!

    1. Sounds like a CSS issue to me

  2. Thanks for posting. Still works in august 2022.

  3. Remove Product Title Permalink for Email Notifications. How do i do that?

  4. Still working perfectly!
    Thank you soooo much!!!

    1. Great!

  5. Hi! This does not work for me – maybe because I we are using built-in attributes. After adding this add_filter to functions.php the product links are still there in the cart, example: /shop/traffic-signs/advisory-speed/?attribute_pa_size=45x45cm&attribute_pa_sub=steel-16-guage&attribute_pa_reflct=engineer

    I’m actually trying to eliminate the additional variables (starting at ?) and keep the product URL, example: /shop/traffic-signs/advisory-speed/

    Not having any luck – been searching for hours.

    1. Sounds odd. Disable all plugins but Woo and switch theme – does the snippet work?

  6. Still works, you are brilliant. Thanks so much.

    Btw I need to use Code Snippets tool for it to work.

    1. Ok thank you

  7. Still works. Thanks.
