Elementor Wrapper Link

Elementor Wrapper Link

Unify your elements. Unlock new possibilities.

Elementor Wrapper Link adds a clickable wrapper (section/column/container) link for Elementor elements. It supports Elementor Dynamic Tags (ACF, JetEngine, Post URL, etc.) and provides optional external/nofollow flags.

Features

  • Clickable wrapper for Section, Column, Container
  • Supports dynamic tags (Post URL, ACF, JetEngine and other Elementor dynamic sources)
  • Optional "Open in new tab" and "Add nofollow"
  • Defensive loading — does not load the frontend script inside the Elementor editor to avoid breaking the editor

Installation

  1. Copy the elementor-wrapper-link folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install from this repository.
  2. Activate the plugin from the WordPress admin Plugins screen.
  3. Make sure Elementor plugin is installed and active.

Usage

  1. Edit a page with Elementor.
  2. Select a Section / Column / Container and go to the Advanced tab.
  3. Find the "Wrapper Link" section and set the Link URL. You can select a static URL or a Dynamic Tag (Post URL, ACF field, etc.).
  4. Optionally toggle "Open in new tab" and "Add nofollow".
  5. Save and view the page — the wrapper area will be clickable (but inner anchors/inputs/buttons will behave normally).

Dynamic tags

  • The plugin tries to resolve common dynamic-tag return shapes: strings, arrays with url/value, numeric post IDs, and WP_Post objects. If a dynamic tag does not return a URL as expected, enable WP_DEBUG and check wp-content/debug.log for [ewl] logs which show what the dynamic tag returned.

How to add the cover image shown above

  1. Save the cover image you provided as cover.png (or cover.jpg).
  2. Upload it to the assets/ folder in this repository as assets/cover.jpg.
  3. GitHub will render the image automatically in this README.

Developer notes

  • The main plugin file is elementor-wrapper-link.php.
  • Main class file: includes/class-elementor-wrapper-link.php.
  • Frontend JS: assets/js/wrapper-link.js.

Changelog

  • 1.5 — Fixed wrapper links not working after JetSmartFilters AJAX filtering. Rewrote JS to use event delegation and MutationObserver for full compatibility with dynamic/AJAX content (JetSmartFilters, FacetWP, JetEngine listings).
  • 1.4 — Version bump and README / asset updates.
  • 1.3 — Improved dynamic-tag handling; avoid loading scripts in editor/REST/AJAX contexts; debug logging when WP_DEBUG is enabled.
  • 1.2 — Initial refactor from single-file plugin into structured plugin.
