So you want to use Carrd icons without links? But when you try to remove a link from an icon, it will not let you?
The problem with Carrd icons and links
Carrd has an element called icons. It lets you add one or more nicely styled icons to your site. And for each icon it wants a link URL. So on desktop computers, when the icon is hovered it has a pointer cursor. And for when tapping/clicking the icon it will take users to that URL.
The problem: you can’t really use icons for decorational purposes like this. They would still look and be clickable. But there is a solution for using icons without link URLs.
How to use Carrd’s icon element without links
The solution is pretty simple. Instead of entering a URL or # or something else, enter
browser:none
When you type this for the URL of the icon’s link, it will
- not show the pointing hand cursor when hovering on desktop
- it will not be clickable/tappable
Here’s what it looks like in the settings:
