## Deskripsyon
Make **Cover**, **Group**, and **Column** blocks fully clickable in Gutenberg.
Build Query Loop post cards where visitors can click the image or padding to open
the post—while the post title, categories, tags, and buttons keep their own links.
A plugin by [4wp.dev](https://4wp.dev/plugin/4wp-smart-link/).
#### Demo
#### Perfect for
* Clickable **post cards** in a Query Loop
* **Cover** heroes that link to a landing page, the current post, or **Enlarge
on click** (core lightbox)
* **Group** or **Column** layouts that behave like one big tap target
#### How it works
1. Select a **Cover**, **Group**, or **Column** block.
2. Open **Smart Link** in the block toolbar.
3. Choose **Custom Link**, **Post Link** (inside a Query Loop post template), or on**
Cover** with an image background: **Link to image file** / **Enlarge on click**.
4. Open **Preview** or the published page to test clicks.
Smart Link runs on the **published front end**. The block editor canvas may not
show the same click area as the live site—use Preview when you check behavior.
#### When the block already has links inside
If the block has no other links inside, the whole block opens your URL.
If you added a **Post Title**, **buttons**, or **terms** inside the block, those
links still work separately. Clicking empty space (background, padding) opens your
Smart Link URL—without broken nested links.
**For developers and theme authors**
**Anchor mode** (no inner links): wraps markup in `` with `data-forwp-smart-link`.
**Host mode** (inner links present): uses `data-forwp-smart-link-url` and `assets/
forwp-smart-link-frontend.js` so link-in-link HTML is never output; inner anchors
stay separate.
Filters: `forwp_smart_link_supported_blocks`, `forwp_smart_link_has_inner_links`,`
forwp_smart_link_use_host_mode`.
Style `.forwp-smart-link-wrapper` on the front end. Editor-only classes (`forwp-
smart-link-cover-panel*`) are not stable for theme CSS.

## FAQ
### Which blocks are supported?
**Cover**, **Group**, and **Column** blocks from the WordPress block library.
### What happens if the URL is empty?
The block looks and behaves as usual—no extra link is added.
### When does “Post Link” work?
When the block is inside a **Query Loop** post template. Each card uses that post’s
permalink. Outside a Query Loop, use **Custom Link** and enter your URL.
### Does this replace native Cover linking?
WordPress Cover does not make the whole block one click target in the way card layouts
need. **4WP Smart Link** adds that on the front end—see _Other Notes_ if you theme
or extend the plugin.
### Does it depend on other 4WP plugins?
No. It runs on its own.
### How do I make a Cover block clickable in a Query Loop?
Place a **Cover** (or **Group** / **Column**) inside the Query Loop post template.
Select the block, open **Smart Link**, and choose **Post Link**. Check clicks on
the published page or in Preview.
### How do I link a Group that already has buttons or a post title inside?
Turn on **Smart Link** on the **Group** (or **Column** / **Cover**). Buttons, title,
categories, and tags keep their own links. Clicks on empty areas (image, padding)
open your Smart Link URL.
### How do I add Enlarge on click to a Cover block?
Select a **Cover** with an image background (not video only). Open **Smart Link**
in the toolbar, choose **Enlarge on click**. The cover uses the same core lightbox
as the Image block—a small expand icon opens the full image; the rest of the cover
is not a link. In the sidebar you can include the cover in the **page lightbox gallery**
to move between enlarged images on the same page.
### How do I create clickable post cards in Gutenberg?
Use **Query Loop** with **Cover** or **Group**, enable **Smart Link** with **Post
Link**, and add **Post Title** or **Post Terms** inside the card if you want. Visitors
can open the post from the card surface and still use inner links.
### Will the editor look exactly like the live site?
Not always. The clickable layer is added when WordPress renders the page on the
front end. Use **Preview** or view the published page to confirm clicks and theme
styles.
### Accessibility: card-as-one-link pattern
With no inner links, the whole block is one link—easy to tap and clear for assistive
tech. When inner links exist, keyboard and screen-reader users can still reach buttons
and text links separately; empty areas open your Smart Link URL.
### SEO `rel` when opening in a new tab
If you open in a new tab, the plugin adds `noopener` and `noreferrer` when needed,
and keeps your own `nofollow` or other `rel` values.
