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.
