If you look in theme/clean/layout/general.php you will find this code and removing the section I have highlighted will remove the link for you.
<?php
if (!$haslogo) { ?>
<h1><?php echo $PAGE->heading ?></h1>
<?php
} else { ?>
<a class="logo" href="<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot; ?>" title="<?php print_string('home'); ?>"></a>
<?php
} ?>
Thanks Mary that was driving me nuts trying to work out how to get rid of it.
I tried just removing the highlighted area, but kept the hover state as though it was a link and just refreshed the page when you clicked it. I tried replacing the line with:
<a class="logo"></a>
This got rid of the hover state.

Hi,
I've just updated to moodle 2.5.1, Which has brought some changes to Bootstrap and Clean. I've applied to above change again but this fails to work. I think the lib.php is overriding this, but I could be wrong!
Any help appreciated.
Regards
Patrick
Have you cleared your theme cache after applying the change?

I've purged the cache several times and no effect.
I've been playing around with this for a while to no avail!
The update to the Bootstrap and Clean Theme in 2.5.1 has removed the general.php in the layout folder. The some functions have now moved to the lib.php file.
I have found the line of code that triggers the link:
$return->heading = html_writer::link($CFG->wwwroot, '', array('title' => get_string('home'), 'class' => 'logo'));
Any ideas on how to modify this to leave the logo but remove the link and hover state?
Regards
Yes...
Change that line to read like this...
$return->heading = html_writer::link('', array( 'class' => 'logo'));
Purge all caches and 'Bob's your uncle!'
cheers

Hi Mary
Thanks for the info. I have tried the above change and purged the cashes. However, it removes the logo altogether and replaces it with a text link 'Array'.
Am I missing something?

Hi,
It would be easier to write is like this...
$return->heading = html_writer::tag('div', array('class'=>'logo'));
You would need to rewrite the CSS to dispense with the a.logo and write div.logo instead!
This way you would not need to bother about hover etc...
less of this
and more of this
Cheers

Thanks Dave - I originally tried what you suggested to remove the actual link address, which works. However, the logo still has a link state and when clicked it refreshes the screen. As the logo is just under the breadcrumbs and Navbar, it can accidentally be clicked by mistake.
Thanks Mary - I have tried the revised line and changed the line of code and amended the a.logo to div.logo in the css, but the logo is not appearing and just showing the word 'Array'.
Thanks David
Adding the extra '' has sorted the image appearing. The changed code has stopped it returning back to the root, but the link state is still present with the image and refreshes the page when it is clicked.

Yes, the link is annoying.
Have you got final solution to remove the link, which can be triggered from whole wide top area. No user friendly at all.
Link only logo make sense.
Please help.
Thanks
2.7 I also wanted to remove the moodle link - I am not sure if that is against the rules or not, but if so, please advise.
To do so all I did was go to site admin/appearance/themes/clean and add custom CSS
.sitelink {display: none;}
which is supported majority of browsers
It is still there of course, but hidden.
Don't know if that helps exactly what you are trying to achieve.
you could then add the logo back into the Footnote, although position is changed slightly.
This works for us no coding people ;)
