Hey there -- if this is still a problem, can you share a link to the website? Thanks!
Hey sure. After updates it's acting a bit different. Now the 'Next webcomic' and 'Previous webcomic' options work fine, but the option I want, 'Nothing', still does not work. It still causes the comic to link to itself, essentially refreshing the page when you click on the comic.
The site is https://www.giantsteeth.com

Sadly there is no way to remove the linking of the comic image short of a theme edit. The 'Nothing' option linking to itself is working as intended.
...wow, that's a really non-intuitive meaning for "Nothing."
Honestly, I would recommend using "Next webcomic"! That makes it a lot easier for readers to go through the archive, if they can just click anywhere on the comic image to move forward, rather than scrolling around to the little "Next" button image every time.
But if you really want to nix the link completely, that's the kind of thing I would do with the Real-Time Find and Replace plugin:

Take a chunk of the source code that specifically identifies the webcomic image link, like this:
<div class="webcomic-image"><a href=
And replace the link part of the code with something nonfunctional, like this:
<div class="webcomic-image"><a data-disabled=
Many thanks for the help. I will take your advice, sailorptah, and have the image link to the next comic. I am happy that's working now.
My comic images currently link to themselves, and I am trying to stop this. In my searches, I found another thread with the same problem, and you directed them to Appearance -> Customize -> Webcomic -> Navigation -> "Webcomic attachments link to". However whether I choose 'Nothing', 'Next Webcomic', or 'Previous Webcomic', it has no effect. The image always links to itself. I have confirmed that it's not a caching issue. Thanks for any help.
