Is there an easy way to insert a link into an image in Webflow? I have tried using the Link Block, but it is not working properly.
TL;DR
- Use a Link Block (Recommended): Drag a Link Block, place an image inside, set the link in settings, and adjust styling if needed.
- Wrap an Image in a Link: Add an Image, go to "Element Settings," and add a URL under "Link Settings."
- Check Common Issues: Ensure no conflicting styles, verify z-index, and preview the live site to test interactions.
You can easily add a link to an image in Webflow using a Link Block or by wrapping an Image Element inside a Link. If the Link Block isn’t working properly, ensure it's set up correctly.
1. Use a Link Block (Recommended)
- Drag a Link Block from the Add Panel (A) into your layout.
- Place an Image inside the Link Block.
- Replace the link in the right-side settings panel:
- Choose a URL, Page, or Collection Item.
- Verify that the link is valid.
- Adjust styling if necessary.
2. Wrap an Image in a Link Manually
- Add an Image to your Webflow project.
- Select the Image and go to the “Element Settings” panel.
- Click the “Link Settings” option and add a URL.
3. Check for Common Issues
- Ensure no conflicting styles are applied that may be preventing clicks.
- Confirm the z-index of the Link Block or Image if it’s under other elements.
- Preview the site instead of relying on Webflow’s canvas, as interactions might not work in edit mode.
Summary
To link an image in Webflow, use a Link Block with an Image inside (best method) or set a direct link on an Image Element. If it's not working, check styling, z-index, and preview the live version to test.
