Wrapper Link makes an entire section, column or container clickable, so visitors can click anywhere inside it instead of only on a button or a piece of text.
It is a genuinely Free feature, but it is off by default even when other Free extras are already switched on – confirmed on this test site.
Requirement – This extension is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.
Before You Start
- Edition: Free — confirmed on The Plus Addons > Extensions screen (Plus Special group, FREE badge).
- Extension to enable: Wrapper Link, switched on under The Plus Addons > Extensions (Plus Special group) — it was off by default even with other extras on, confirmed on this test site.
Steps
- Enable Wrapper Link at The Plus Addons > Extensions (Plus Special group), then save. This is a separate toggle from other extras and is off by default.
- Select a Section, Column or Container in the Elementor editor and open its Advance tab.
- Open the new Wrapper Link section and turn on the Wrapper Link switcher.
- Enter the destination URL in the Wrapper Link field that appears.
- Publish the page – clicking anywhere inside that section, column or container now navigates to the URL.
How It Behaves
Confirmed via the raw server response (not the browser DOM) that the feature is wired correctly end to end: the section’s opening tag carries data-tp-sc-link="<url>" and data-tp-sc-link-external, and the click-handler script is correctly enqueued in the page footer only when the link is set – exactly matching the plugin’s source. The click itself (a delegated jQuery handler that appends and clicks a hidden link) was not exercised in a live browser session this time; an authenticated browser request to the same URL did not show the same markup, which looks like a caching inconsistency on this particular Docker test site rather than a plugin bug, since the anonymous server response was correct.
Limitations
- Off by default – do not assume it is available just because other Extensions toggles are on.
- The interactive click-through was not independently confirmed in a live browser this session (see above); mark as not fully verified end to end.
Troubleshooting
Clicking the section does nothing
Confirm Wrapper Link is switched on at The Plus Addons > Extensions (Plus Special group) – it is a separate toggle from Cross Domain Copy Paste and the other Plus Special extras, and is off by default.
