Removing a link from an Article
From Joomla! Documentation
The Primary Method[edit]
A link (or hyperlink) can be removed from an Article as follows:
- Open the Article for editing.
- Select the Administrator → Content → Article menu item to go to the Article Manager.
- Select the Article and click the Edit toolbar button.
- Locate and carefully select by highlighting only the link you wish to remove.
- Select the Unlink editor toolbar button. The link will be removed.
An Alternate Method[edit]
Remove the link by manually editing the HTML directly (once you are in the article editor mode).
- Select the Toggle Editor button (or the Code tab).
- Identify the <a href=...> tag that begins the link, and the </a> tag that ends the link.
- Remove the opening link element <a href=...> from the opening corner bracket (<) to the closing bracket (>).
- Leave the text that was linked in place.
- Remove the ending link element (</a>).
- Select Save.
- Select Toggle Editor.
- Confirm that the text is no longer linked.
