Blog page: How to remove the arrow for source/external links posts?

Hi, I've gone and linked a blog post title to an external URL like so (I've changed it for the example)

But now, I see this undesirable arrow.

Question: Is there a way to remove this arrow and/or change it?

Please post the URL for a page on your site where we can see your issue.

If your site is not public please set up a site-wide password, if you've not already done so.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password does not allow anyone to alter your site. It only allows those with the password to see your site. Please read the documentation at the link provided to understand how it works.

Please read the documentation at the link provided on how to share a link to your site to understand how it works. A link to the backend of the your site won’t work for us, i.e. a url that contains /config/.

We can then take a look at your issue.

Hi @creedon,

Please check out the "Our Products" section which I've set up like a blog. The item that links out in this example is "Preform Thermoplastic" entry. (I need to do this on another website but that's currently under construction).

I'd like to remove this arrow that automatically shows up when you select the option for the Title of the Blog to link externally.

P: HelpMe!

Thanks in advanced.

Add the following to Blog Settings > Advanced > Page Header Code Injection for the blog page. Please see per-page code injection.

<style>

  .passthrough-link:after {
  
    content : unset;
    
    }
	
  </style>

This is for v7.1.

Let us know how it goes.

Chris, you are a legend. This worked perfectly on the site I tested it on.👍

You've put the style tag inside a script tag which is a syntax error. Take the style tag out of the script tag.

<script>
const images = document.querySelectorAll('.kg-image-card img, .kg-gallery-card img');<style>

  .passthrough-link:after {
  
    content : unset;
    
    }
    
  </style>

You also need to have a closing tag for the script tag.

I must still be doing something wrong...

I'll try to simplify. In the code I showed that has the syntax error, change...

img');<style>

...to...

img');</script><style>

This should close the script tag properly.

When you do have a syntax error like you have/had, all kinds of weird rendering issues are possible.

Thank you for explaining that. I don't know how I missed it!
