Hi Leslie!
The link is actually set in the tribe_event_featured_image function (found in wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/functions/template-tags/general.php. However, there is a filter that you can use to remove the link. Try adding the following to the functions.php file of your child theme:
function tribe_remove_featured_image_link( $link ) {
if ( tribe_is_list_view() ) {
$link = false;
}
return $link;
}
add_filter( 'tribe_event_featured_image_link', 'tribe_remove_featured_image_link' );
Let me know if this helps!
Thanks,
Jennifer
