Description

A plugin that allows users to click in the whole column or section instead of individual elements

  1. Users will be able to click on the whole column when you add a link on that.
  2. Users will be able to click on the whole section when you add a link on that.

HOW TO USE IT
After installing the plugin, open your Elementor editor, start editing a Column or Section, and under the Layout block (wrapper link option) you can add your custom link.

You can make my day by submitting a positive review on WordPress.org!

Code change to allow target _blank or _self

By xyzzyestudioweb on May 24, 2023

Hello, I have made a change in the code to include compatibility with links in external window or in the same window. They are only two lines of code but I provide them for a future version

public static function before_section_render(Element_Base $element) {

    $link_settings = $element->get_settings_for_display('ra_element_link');

    if ($link_settings && !empty($link_settings['url'])) {

      $target = $link_settings['is_external'] != '' ? '_blank' : '_self';

      $element->add_render_attribute(

        '_wrapper',

        [

          'data-ra-element-link' => json_encode($link_settings),

          'style' => 'cursor: pointer',

          'target' => $target,

          'onClick' => 'window.open(\'' . $link_settings['url'] . '\', \'' . $target . '\')',

        ]

      );

    }

  }

I hope it can helps!
