What the author says it does

Disclaimer: This plugin is not affiliated with, or supported by, Elementor Ltd. Quite the opposite.

Add a link to any column, section or container in Elementor, and your visitors can click anywhere inside it, not just on a button or a heading. It’s perfect for service cards, banners, call-to-action areas, team members, pricing tables and any other block that should behave like one big link.

Real links: better for SEO and accessibility

Most “clickable column” solutions rely only on JavaScript, so there is no actual link in the page. Search engines can’t follow it, keyboard users can’t reach it, and visitors can’t open it in a new tab.

Since version 1.7, this plugin adds a real HTML link that covers the whole element:

  • Google can crawl it. The link is in the page HTML, so search engines can follow it and pass authority to the destination page, just like any other internal link.
  • Meaningful anchor text. The link uses the first heading inside the element as its text (or the text you choose), which helps search engines understand the destination page.
  • Keyboard and screen reader friendly. Visitors can reach the link with the Tab key, open it with Enter, and screen readers announce it properly.
  • Works like a normal link. Ctrl/Cmd + click, middle click and right click → “Open in new tab” work as expected, and the browser shows the destination URL on hover.

Questions the author answers

How does this plugin work?

It adds a link field to every column, section and container in the Elementor editor. When you add a link, the plugin places a real HTML link over the whole element, so visitors can click anywhere inside it.

Is it good for SEO?

Yes. The link is a regular <a href> in the page HTML, so search engines can crawl it, and its anchor text comes from the first heading inside the element. You can also set a custom link text, and use the “Add nofollow” option in the link field when needed.

Will the buttons and links inside the column still work?

Yes. Inner buttons, links and form fields stay clickable and go to their own destination. The column link is placed next to your content, not around it, so there are no links inside links.

How do I stop a widget from triggering the column link?

Select the widget, go to Advanced → CSS Classes and add no-link. Clicks on that widget will no longer open the column link. This is useful for videos, sliders, maps or any widget with its own click behavior. It also lets visitors select the text inside that widget.

My layout looks different after updating. What can I do?

Go to Plugins and click Use legacy mode below the plugin name. It switches the whole site back to the JavaScript mode, which works exactly like the previous versions of the plugin. You can also change the Link mode of a single element in the Column Link section. Please also open a support request so we can take a look.

Does it support dynamic content?

Yes. The link and link text fields support Elementor Pro dynamic tags, such as the post URL or an ACF field.
