  Hi there,

  I’m creating a site using the Ioxin theme. On my homepage I used a cover block function which visually looks good, but when hovering over it in preview and live mode the mouse changes to a pointer. This would indicate it’s clickable, but I don’t need this feature. I’ve tried deleting and adding a new one with no luck.
  The person I’m building this for also wants to keep this as a free WordPress so I’m unable to use plugins or additional CSS.

  Is there any solution to this?

  Thank you!

  Hi there!

  I’ve been trying to reproduce this on my test page but I was not able to.

  I’ve tried deleting and adding a new one with no luck.

  Do I understand correctly that you’ve deleted the whole Cover Block, added a new one and the same thing keeps happening? Does it also happen when you add a Cover Block without a link?

  Hi,

  In the CSS for that div:

  [data-carousel-extra] {
  cursor: pointer;
  }

  I think it should be:

  [data-carousel-extra] {
  cursor: auto;
  }

  Thank you for trying!
  Yup, deleted the whole thing and started again with no luck. I also haven’t included a link at all so it’s even more confusing.

  Is there any way to fix this through just the HTML?

  Hi,

  This problem is an ongoing bug and I believe a Jetpack issue.

  https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/13428

  There has been a previous fix suggested for the CSS here (bottom of the page):

  I hope that helps.

  Thanks for that @kforbz! This surely seems related and I have already added a comment to that issue, @mellygrubb, you can subscribe to be notified of the progress.
  I’m afraid that without custom CSS there is no workaround here, you’ll need to wait for our devs to fix this.

  Thank you for all the responses, I’ll see if I can use a different block for this in the meantime.
