Description

Remove Links in Headings is a lightweight WordPress plugin that automatically removes <a> (anchor) tags from all heading elements (<h1> to <h6>) in post content and taxonomy descriptions.

It preserves the text inside the link and any existing heading attributes like id, class, or data-*, making it compatible with both the Classic Editor and Gutenberg.

Useful when content editors accidentally add links inside headings, which may harm SEO or accessibility.

No configuration needed — just install and activate.
