Enable the Wrapper Link Extension (Open the full-size image in a new tab)

To use the Wrapper Link Extension from Atomic Addons, first, you have to enable the extension.

  3. 3

    Search for the Wrapper Link Extension.

  4. 4

    Enable the Wrapper Link Extension.

  5. 5

    Hit the Save Settings Button.

Place to Find the Wrapper Extension (Open the full-size image in a new tab)

To get the Wrapper Link extension, you must need to select any element, that can be widget, section or any container. Follow the below steps –

  1. 1

    Select any widget/section/container where you want to use the wrapper link extension.

  2. 2

    Go to Content Tab of the selected element.

  3. 3

    Below you will see the option named Wrapper Link & here you can customize it.

The Wrapper Link feature works with the existing content on your page. For this demonstration, we’ll use a sample content section to show how the feature works for the widgets, column & container.

Using Wrapper Link in widgets (Open the full-size image in a new tab)
  1. 1

    Click on the Image widget to select it as we have used this widget to show an example to you.

  2. 2

    Now, go to Content Tab of the image widget.

3. Now, go to Wrapper Link option that placed in the Content Tab.

  1. 4

    Add the link that you want to apply to the image widget.

  2. 5

    Now you can select the options as per your needs. The options are –

  • Open in New Window: When enabled, the linked section or widget opens in a new browser tab instead of the current tab.
  • Add nofollow: Adds a nofollow attribute to the link, which tells search engines not to pass SEO authority to the linked page. This is commonly used for external or sponsored links.
  • Custom Attributes: Allows you to add custom HTML attributes to the wrapper link element using the key|value format.

Now, the image becomes a clickable object that will redirect to the target URL when clicked on.

Using Wrapper Link in Column (Open the full-size image in a new tab)

You can make your whole column into a clickable area by using a wrapper link inside it.

  1. 1

    Select the Column Container where multiple widgets are inserted.

  2. 2

    Go to Layout Tab → Wrapper Link

  3. 3

    Click on the Wrapper Link option.

  4. 4

    Add the link that you want to apply to the column.

Using Wrapper Link in Container/Section (Open the full-size image in a new tab)

With this, the whole section or container would show as a clickable object and will redirect anyone who clicks anywhere within the section.

  1. 1

    Click on Edit Section

  2. 2

    Go to Layout Tab → Wrapper Link

  3. 3

    Paste your link and save settings

Additionally, you can select the Open in new window option, the Add nofollow option, or use the Custom Attribute field.
