[]If you access the WordPress dashboard and go to WooCommerce > Orders, you will be presented with the WooCommerce “Orders Table” i.e. the list of customer orders. Each row comes with several columns, such as the order number, order date, order status, order billing and shipping addresses and more.
[]What’s annoying sometimes is that the whole row is a clickable link, so if you need to copy and paste some information you will end up actually clicking on it, and being redirected to the single order page.
[]There is a way to add a specific “class” to each table row, so that it becomes not clickable, and the only link that remains is the very first column table cell – the order number (as it should be by default!).
[]So, let’s see how easy it is to alter this default behaviour. Enjoy!
Each WooCommerce Orders table row is a full clickable link to the single order page. Let’s change this behaviour and make sure only the first table cell is indeed an hyperlink!
PHP Snippet: Remove Hyperlink From Orders Table Rows @ WooCommerce Dashboard
/** * @snippet Unlink orders table rows @ admin * @how-to Get CustomizeWoo.com FREE * @author Rodolfo Melogli * @compatible WooCommerce 7 * @donate $9 https://businessbloomer.com/bloomer-armada/ */ add_filter( ‘post_class’, ‘bbloomer_disable_admin_orders_table_row_link’ ); function bbloomer_disable_admin_orders_table_row_link( $classes ) { if ( is_admin() ) { $current_screen = get_current_screen(); if ( $current_screen->base == ‘edit’ && $current_screen->post_type == ‘shop_order’ ) $classes[] = ‘no-link’; } return $classes; }
Where to add this snippet?
[]You can place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file (delete “?>” if you have it there). CSS, on the other hand, goes in your child theme style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files – if you need more guidance, please take a look at my free video tutorial “Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?”
Does this snippet (still) work?
Please let me know in the comments if everything worked as expected. I would be happy to revise the snippet if you report otherwise (please provide screenshots). I have tested this code with Storefront theme, the WooCommerce version listed above and a WordPress-friendly hosting on PHP 7.3.[]If you think this code saved you time & money, feel free to join 14,000+ WooCommerce Weekly subscribers for blog post updates or 250+ Business Bloomer supporters for 365 days of WooCommerce benefits.
