Overview

The "Custom Links in Elementor Image Carousel" WordPress plugin addresses a significant limitation in WordPress that prevents users from adding custom links to individual images within an image carousel or gallery, particularly in the Elementor free version. This plugin enhances usability by overriding WordPress attachment fields and the Elementor Image Carousel widget, enabling the addition of custom links to each image displayed. It introduces two custom fields within the WordPress Media Library for each image – one for the custom link and another for an "Open in new tab?" checkbox. Seamlessly hooking into the Elementor Image Carousel widget just before it renders on the frontend, the plugin ensures a smooth integration without any need for complex settings or a premium version. Simply activate or deactivate to utilize its features. Note that for the plugin to function, the "Link" option in the Elementor Image Carousel widget must be set to "Media Files."

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its simplicity and effectiveness in filling a gap in Elementor's image carousel. It allows users to add custom links to images effortlessly, making tasks quicker and easier, especially for those with minimal programming knowledge. Users like that the plugin does exactly what it claims and saves them significant time by eliminating the need for complex coding. However, some drawbacks include issues with the plugin not working on the frontend for certain users and specific WordPress versions. Additionally, it doesn't support features like displaying different thumbnails and enlarged images in a Lightbox with watermarks, which some users desire.

This plugin is really amazing. Just does exactly what it says on the tin. If you are puzzled why the links don’t work on the front end, check first you have selected the link in the carousel to be “Media File” and that you have added the links to each image in your media library. Tested and working on 6.2.2.
