There are three ways to link from a Gutenslider slider: make a whole slide clickable, put buttons and links on the slide, or give every slide its own address that other pages can link to. All three are in the free plugin.
Link a whole slide
- Select the slide (not the slider): click the slide’s background, or pick it in the List View.
- Click Link the slide in the slide’s toolbar.
- Search for a page or paste a URL, and choose whether it opens in a new tab.
The whole slide is now a link. A Linked label in the editor shows which slides have one. Use this for image sliders without text, for example a row of projects or products where each photo leads to its page.
Buttons and links on a slide
Each slide is a container for blocks, so a Buttons block or a link in a paragraph works as anywhere else on the page. This is the better choice when a slide has a headline and a call to action: visitors see what they click, and screen readers read a clear link text.
Don’t combine both on one slide: a slide link around a button makes two links in one place.
Link to one slide from elsewhere
Turn on Link to each slide in the slider’s Advanced settings and every slide gets an address such as #slide-3. A link to /tours/#slide-3 opens the page with that slide showing, and a button with the URL #slide-3 jumps there on the same page. Set a Link prefix for addresses like #tour-3, or give a slide its own name with Slide link name in the slide’s Advanced settings. More in Link to a single slide.
Or open the image
To let visitors see a photo larger instead of going to another page, turn on the lightbox: a click opens the image, and it grows out of its place on the slide.
All slide settings are in the settings reference.
