Removing Link from Header?

[bobalania]

Is it Possible to remove the link from the header? As you can see here: http://www.bobalania.com/onlineshop i would like the header to have different links on it, i have hotspot each bit of text and linked them to the correct page, what i think i need now is to remove the link from the header image that always goes back to the shop home page.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.
I followed this and edited the tpl_header.php and just left the href blank (as i wont too disable the hyperlink). Then uploaded it, but nothing has changed, it still links back to the shop. Is this because i am using itschristmas template or something else?

If you want to remove the link, you need to remove the link.

Get rid of the <a href=...> and </a>, as it is still looking for a place to link to.

Sorry, i am a bit lost now.

EDIT: I removed <a href=""</a> as i think this is the write bit, but when i go to the shop the head image is still linking back to the homepage.

Which bit do i need to remove?

The logo is the image in the header that links to the homepage, so this is where you need to remove the link:

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="logoWrapper">
<div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
<?php if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '' || (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2))) { ?>
<div id="taglineWrapper">

Remove

'<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' .

and

. '</a>'

to get

<div id="logo"><?php echo  zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT); ?></div>

Thanks for all the great help so far, but now after i have done this and then go to check on my shop, i get just a black screen as you can see: http://www.bobalania.com/onlineshop

Obviously you made some mistake in editing, as the output now cuts off right after the mainWrapper tag. We can't see your php files, only the HTML output from them.

Sorry its took me so long to reply,i have been away.

Here is the code for tpl_header.php, what is wrong with it?
