It worked! Thank you so much, BaNgan!!

Try adding to Home > Design > Custom Css
.grid-item { pointer-events: auto; } Let me know how it works on your site

It worked! Thank you so, so much! 

You can try adding to Home > Design > Custom Css
section[data-section-id="61dfe40a30b6d72ed3025980"] .portfolio-hover-item { pointer-events: none; } This code will disable the hover effect of the portfolio.
Another way you can implement is set in Home > Settings > Advanced > Code Injection, choose the footer
<script> (function(){ window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => { const disableBtns = document.querySelectorAll('section[data-section-id="61dfe40a30b6d72ed3025980"] .portfolio-hover-item'); if(disableBtns.length) { disableBtns.forEach(btn => { btn.addEventListener('click', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); }) }) } }); })() </script> Let me know how it works

Hi,
I am trying to disable the links on a portfolio page so that they don't click through to other pages. The words that I don't want to be active links are "Community," "Creativity," and "Curiosity." I saw a post here from 2020 and tried both codes--one was supposed to go into the header and the other was for the CSS Styles section. Neither seemed to work for me, but I may have been doing something wrong. I'm really grateful for any help! 

It won't make any difference to the downtime, it just depends on who you prefer to host the domain. However, if you plan to transfer it to Squarespace you'll want to do it at least 7-10 days before the planned migration because the transfer process will also take some time.   
 

There are a number of things you can do 3-4+ days in advance to reduce the period of 'downtime' during a site or domain migration but there isn't a way to display a friendly "we're moving" type page to avoid SSL errors during the swap.
