## Description

If your theme makes thumbnail pictures links (which casuses a useless refresh on
click),
 use this plugin to disable that. That’s it. Once enabled, it will make 
every featured image (on a post/page) unclickable.

## FAQ

  Why would I use this?

A select few themes make their thumbnails clickable (like the title of the page)
and cause
 a redirect to the current page. This plugin removes that without modifying
the theme itself.

  How do I know if the plugin is working?

The easiest way is to hover over a thumbnail and look at where the link points (
usually
 shown in the corner of your browser). If the plugin is active, the link
will point to ‘javascript:void(0);’
