Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the page in question?

You can use the private information field:

Let me know 🙂

hi I’m running it o a local machine here I’m afraid.

I have a container with an image and a cover on that image and I need to set a URL on the image/cover/container so any part of it can be clicked to take it to another area on the site. I can set a URL on the image but once I add the ‘Cover’ the url doesn’t work anymore..

Tough for us to help with this description and it doesn’t sound like it’s related to GP.

Can you start a staging site so we can inspect the issue live?

Thank you.

there is an images with a ‘Cover’. How do I add a url to the entire images and not just to the ‘TEST’ that is on it? There is no option
GP Premium or Generateblocks to do this that I can find and when I try to edit the HTML it won’t do it either. I would have thought adding a URL link to an image would be simply?
thanks

I don’t see why the Cover block is needed here.

Try uploading the image as the container background image:
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/container-overview/#backgrounds

Then use this solution:

because I need to put text on the image. Can I do that without it being a ‘cover’?

Hi Michael,

Can you try Leo’s method? You don’t need cover block for this.

You can add a headline block inside the container block for the text.

[Michael]

when I add an image to the container it won’t allow me add a headline into the images. the headline is either above r below the images. What I want is an images on the page with text on the images and make the whole image (not just the text) clickable. Can this be done?

Have a look at the https://www.scottshotelkillarney.com webpage and half way down there is a ‘Rooms’ block and the whole image is clickable with the text ‘Rooms’ on it

thanks

[Leo]

Can you make sure the image is added as the background image as suggested here?

Try uploading the image as the container background image:
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/container-overview/#backgrounds

Please take a look at the documentation.

[Michael]

I wonder can you test it yourself the addition of a background image to a container and then the addition of a headline on the background and then the entire container being clickable because I can’t figure it out and sending me to documentation isn’t helping. can David look at this issue please?

[Leo]

Can you show me what you have so far without the cover block so I know what the issue is?
