How can I remove the hyperlink from single post view titles?

Question

Post titles are linked when showing on the posts page and they remain linked after being clicked and opening to a single post view.

I would like to remove the hyperlink from the title in the single post view.  

I intended to replace

<a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a>

with

<?php the_title(); ?>

However, I do not see the code I was expecting to edit in the single.php file.

What is the best way to remove the hyperlink from post titles in single post view?

Hi,

You can remove the hyperlink from the the title in the single post manually .Go to Wordpress folder -> wp-content -> themes -> content.php -> Find line no 45 -> Remove this code ->  if(get_post_meta($postid,'ttr_post_link_enable_checkbox',true)!= 'false'):?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'TemplateToaster' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php endif; ?><?php the_title(); ?></a>

-> Add this given code ->

if(is_single($postid) )
{
     the_title();
}
elseif(is_blog) {
        if(get_post_meta($postid,'ttr_post_link_enable_checkbox',true)!= 'false'):?>
        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'TemplateToaster' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php endif; ?><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php
}
