Pair it with a Lift or Glow on the card so mouse users can tell.

How to add it

Three steps. No new tool.

1

Install Grinner free

It’s on WordPress.org. Or go to Plugins, Add New, and search for Grinner Blocks.

2

Build the card

Make the card a Group, with Card Mode on Container if you want the card look.

3

Add the link

Turn on Clickable cards, paste the Link URL, then publish.

Good to know

Fair questions.

Clickable cards are a Grinner upgrade to Group and Columns. A whole section or card becomes one link, while buttons and links inside it still go their own way. Use them so visitors can click anywhere on a card instead of hunting for a small link.

No. Text can’t be selected and form fields can’t be clicked, because the whole card is the link.

Yes. Set Link to This post or page and every card in a Query Loop links to its own post.

Avoid that pairing. Use Card Mode on Container for each linked card.

The card darkens a little instead of moving.

Pairs well with

Try it with these.

Turn a section, or each block in it, into a card with one switch.

Cards that lift, grow, glow or change color under the pointer.

Tilt, lift, zoom, a glare sweep or gray to color under the pointer.
