[Resolved] Make featured images on homepage & thumbnails in sidebar clickable

[Anant]

Hi Team,

How to make featured images on homepage & thumbnails in sidebar clickable to post?

[David]

Hi there,

if you edit the Query Loop Blocks, and select the Image Block inside, in the sidebar settings > Dynamic Data, you will see it is set to show the Featured Image, there is also an option to set its Link to Single Post.

Hi David,

I tried this but didn’t see the option to to choose “Link to Single Post”.

Hi Anant,

Are you referring to the images in your screenshot?

If so, you’ll need GB Pro to make the link option appear for Container Blocks.

The images in your screenshot are added as backgrounds for Container Blocks.

Hi Fernando,

I am referring to images of blog posts which show up on the homepage.

Currently, if title text is clicked then only the user is taken to blog post. What I wanna achieve is that corresponding images are also clickable and take the user to its blog post.

This is for homepage and the blogs featured under “Must Read” section. I have shared the urls in private info.

In case GB Pro is required for this, can you suggest a different alternative? I don’t want to purchase GB Pro just for this fix.

[Fernando]

Oh. You don’t need GB Pro for that. That’s an Image Block. David’s instructions should work.

Can you provide admin login credentials so I can see why it isn’t appearing?

Hi Fernando,

I’ve shared the same in private info. Please check and let me know.

It’s appearing when I tried: https://share.getcloudapp.com/E0uXGzll

Can you try again?

[Anant]

It worked for most of the sections for homepage but for few, image block is not appearing.

That is for the top featured section and “Business Model” section. Can you check if its working for you?

[Fernando]

The “Business Model” section adds the image through a Container Block. You’ll need GB Pro for that as mentioned.

An alternative would be a custom code or to try a different plugin. This would be out of our scope of support however.

[Anant]

Thanks for the help Fernando.

I’ll explore other ways to handle the business model and featured sections. I came across this article, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56592941/how-to-make-featured-image-clickable-wordpress#:~:text=Simply%20add%20this%20code%20to,%3Ca%20href%3D%22’%20.

Can you please suggest if adding such code to generate press them will be fine or not?

[Fernando]

You’re welcome, Anant!

That code wouldn’t work for that section.

[Anant]

Thanks Fernando! Let me see what can work.
