Woocommerce – Removing hyperlinks to single product pages - php

Question

I am using woocommerce and I would like to remove the hyperlinks to single product pages as i use a quickview feature instead, making content pop up in a lightbox and making single product pages unneeded.
However, the links that are generated in the cart and mini-cart link to the default product page so I would like to remove them.
What I want to do for the cart page: Remove the hyperlink to the single product page from the product thumbnail I am not a php expert per se, but made some progress following this post. It worked on my product title but it didn't work on my product thumbnail in the cart page.
Here is the snippet from my cart.php:
<td class="product-thumbnail">
<?php
$thumbnail = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_thumbnail', $_product->get_image(), $cart_item, $cart_item_key );
if ( ! $product_permalink ) {
echo $thumbnail;
} else {
printf( '%s', $thumbnail );
}
?>
</td>
<td class="product-name" data-title="<?php _e( 'Product', 'woocommerce' ); ?>">
<?php
if ( ! $product_permalink ) {
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_name', $_product->get_title(), $cart_item, $cart_item_key ) . ' ';
} else {
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_name', sprintf( '%s', $_product->get_title() ) );
}
// Meta data
echo WC()->cart->get_item_data( $cart_item );
// Backorder notification
if ( $_product->backorders_require_notification() && $_product->is_on_backorder( $cart_item['quantity'] ) ) {
echo '<p class="backorder_notification">' . esc_html__( 'Available on backorder', 'woocommerce' ) . '</p>';
}
?>
</td>
What I want to do for the mini-cart: Remove the hyperlink to the single product page from the product thumbnail and product title
and the snippet from my mini-cart.php: (Full mini-cart.php code here)
<?php
foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $cart_item ) {
$_product = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_product', $cart_item['data'], $cart_item, $cart_item_key );
$product_id = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_product_id', $cart_item['product_id'], $cart_item, $cart_item_key );
if ( $_product && $_product->exists() && $cart_item['quantity'] > 0 && apply_filters( 'woocommerce_widget_cart_item_visible', true, $cart_item, $cart_item_key ) ) {
$product_name = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_name', $_product->get_title(), $cart_item, $cart_item_key );
$thumbnail = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_thumbnail', $_product->get_image(), $cart_item, $cart_item_key );
$product_price = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_price', WC()->cart->get_product_price( $_product ), $cart_item, $cart_item_key );
?>
<li class="<?php echo esc_attr( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_mini_cart_item_class', 'mini_cart_item', $cart_item, $cart_item_key ) ); ?>">
<?php
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_remove_link', sprintf(
'×',
esc_url( WC()->cart->get_remove_url( $cart_item_key ) ),
__( 'Remove this item', 'woocommerce' ),
esc_attr( $product_id ),
esc_attr( $_product->get_sku() )
), $cart_item_key );
?>
<?php if ( ! $_product->is_visible() ) : ?>
<?php echo str_replace( array( 'http:', 'https:' ), '', $thumbnail ) . $product_name . ' '; ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php echo str_replace( array( 'http:', 'https:' ), '', $thumbnail ) . $product_name . ' '; ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php echo WC()->cart->get_item_data( $cart_item ); ?>
<?php echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_widget_cart_item_quantity', '<span class="quantity">' . sprintf( '%s × %s', $cart_item['quantity'], $product_price ) . '</span>', $cart_item, $cart_item_key ); ?>
</li>
<?php
}
}
?>
Both product thumbnail and product title is still hyperlinked despite removing the <a href> tag.
Please help!!

For cart.php
You can change these two lines
replace
printf( '%s', esc_url( $product_permalink ), $thumbnail );
with
printf( '%s', $thumbnail );
and
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_name', sprintf( '%s', esc_url( $product_permalink ), $_product->get_title() ), $cart_item, $cart_item_key );
with
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_cart_item_name', sprintf( '%s', $_product->get_title() ), $cart_item, $cart_item_key );
or you can use the filters to get the job done, if you are using a child theme in your child-theme/woocommerce/cart/cart.php make the changes .
In mini-cart.php
replace
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( $product_permalink ); ?>">
<?php echo str_replace( array( 'http:', 'https:' ), '', $thumbnail ) . $product_name . ' '; ?>
</a>
with
<?php echo str_replace( array( 'http:', 'https:' ), '', $thumbnail ) . $product_name . ' '; ?>
page should be at chil-theme/woocommerce/cart/mini-cart.php
The page link you have provided me is the order page, for which the page should be used is order-details-item.php
here you should replace
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_name', $product_permalink ? sprintf( '%s', $product_permalink, $item['name'] ) : $item['name'], $item, $is_visible );
with
echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_order_item_name', $product_permalink ? sprintf( '%s', $item['name'] ) : $item['name'], $item, $is_visible );
let me know if you can share a screenshot of the page, that will be better if it wont work for you or you can allow me to create a fake order , so that I can check it.
if you are facing problem let me know.
