– How can I remove the hyperlink from the “Event Name”? I want it displayed as plain text.

Solutions · 2 min read · Updated May 21, 2026

you want the event name shown as plain text (not a clickable link) inside the tickets table — useful when the tickets table lives on the event page itself, so the link would just reload the page you’re already on.

The recipe: a small free add-on

We maintain a tiny add-on plugin that removes the hyperlink from the event-name column while keeping the name itself visible. Install it like any other WordPress plugin.

  1. Download: remove-order-details-event-page-url.zip
  2. WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, install, activate.
  3. Reload any page that contains a tickets table — event name is now plain text.

No settings, no configuration — install, activate, done. The plugin uses Tickera’s standard hooks and filters to strip the anchor wrapping from the event-name output.

When you’d use this

  • Event page hosts the tickets table. The event-name link points back to the same event page — clicking is pointless.
  • Single-page-app feel. You want the tickets table to feel like part of the event, not a separate listing.
  • SEO duplicate-content concerns. Two clickable references to the same URL on the same page can be a minor SEO issue.

When NOT to use this

If your tickets table is on a multi-event listing page (a “What’s on” hub, an all-events archive), keep the link — buyers need to click through to each event’s detail page.

If you want to do it without the add-on

The same change is a one-line filter you can drop in your child theme’s functions.php if you prefer not to install another plugin. The add-on is just a wrapper around that filter. See hooks and filters for the technique.
