This is amazing, thank you so so much! I'm far from advanced when it comes to Wordpress and this was straightforward and easy to use. Thanks again!
Hi Richard,
This is really odd. I've been using your solution for a couple of years and had no problems. Recently added to a new version of wpbakery, with the Alchemist Theme for Sportspress and for some reason Wordpress becomes unusable.
Media doesn't load, and load times between pages become extensive. I've tested only having the files, individually, but as soon as the functio.php file is updated Wordpress starts failing. During this time, when wordpress sections do get to load I can use the column link and works as expected, but media and other functions don't. It seems it loops loading the function. Updated Wordpress and WPBackery.
System Status:
WPBackery version 6.7.0 [ Not sure if this was tested with the latest version. ]
Wordpress version 5.8.3
@jonasj95 I have the exact issue. I recently noticed you have this issue and I hope you were able to solve it.
If not, for now if you need to have access to your media and WPBakery Page Builder, remove the new column link function from functions.php
Remove the php files and the function.
One last thing, I noticed it now. When I completely remove a link in the column, previously entered, it still remains clickable despite having removed it. I'd like to know if it's my bug or it turns out to you too.
To fix this, the order of the function needs slightly rearranging to the below.
$column_link_array = vc_build_link($column_link);
$column_link = esc_url($column_link_array['url']);
if( !empty($column_link) ){
$column_target = $column_link_array['target'];
$column_rel = $column_link_array['rel'];
$column_title = $column_link_array['title'];
$output .= "<a href='$column_link' target='$column_target' rel='$column_rel' title='$column_title' class='big_link' style='position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;z-index:9999;'aria-hidden='true'></a>";
}
Hello Richard,
I hale problem with this solution, I could add link to back-end editor like this
But It didn't work on front-end page, I have try serveral solution I found in the comments, include added to parent theme, modified file on js_composer/templates/shortcodes and I have added this to functions.php in both parent and child theme, copy the vc_template of this to file in both parent and child theme :
vc_add_param("vc_column", array(
"type" => "vc_link",
"class" => "",
"heading" => "Column Link",
"param_name" => "column_link"
));
/* Add option for URL to column_inner settings */
vc_add_param("vc_column_inner", array(
"type" => "vc_link",
"class" => "",
"heading" => "Column Link",
"param_name" => "column_link"
));
add_filter('vc_shortcode_set_template_vc_column', function($template){
return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/vc_templates/vc_column.php';
});
and it's not working too, I use wpbakery builder version 3.7.0, wish I could find something that help, thank you.
Found a solution that work, add this to function.php
add_action( 'vc_before_init', 'vc_before_init_actions' );
function vc_before_init_actions() {
// Link your VC elements's folder
if( function_exists('vc_set_shortcodes_templates_dir') ){
vc_set_shortcodes_templates_dir( get_template_directory() . '/vc-elements' );
}
}
and edit file vc_column.php,vc_column_inner.php in /wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/templates/shortcodes
thema sway, Version WPBPB: 3.7.0
Hello,
First of all thank you for this code, it's such a good function!
It still works in WP Bakery 6.10 but there is a tiny problem.
The link always opens with target=_blank but i do not select it in the link options when editing the page.
If I switch to wordpress view and edit the target to target=_self it does not do anything and on the front end it keeps opening in a new tab.
Is there a solution for this? I'm not an expert but i tried hard and I can't do it...
EDIT: nevermind, its only when you are logged in ^^ for visitors it works
I've just published an update for the latest WP Bakery Page Builder v. 6.13
Slight changes in their code, but nothing major. Added some ternary operators to bypass bits of code if title, rel, and target boxes aren't checked.
The Best way to add WP Bakery column clickable
Add a Custom CSS Class:
- In WPBakery Page Builder, edit the column you want to make clickable.
- Under the "Design Options" or "Design" tab (depending on your WPBakery version), you should find an option to add a custom CSS class to the column. It might be labeled as "Extra class name" or something similar.
- Add a custom CSS class, for example, "clickable-column" to the column.
.clickable-column{
cursor: pointer;
}
Custom JavaScript:
- In your WordPress theme, you can add custom JavaScript code to make the columns with the "clickable-column" class clickable. You can do this by adding the JavaScript code in the theme's JavaScript file or using a custom JavaScript plugin.
Here's an example of how you can use JavaScript (jQuery) to make columns with the "clickable-column" class clickable and navigate to a specific URL:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// Add a click event handler to elements with the "clickable-column" class
$('.clickable-column').click(function() {
// Get the URL from a data attribute or set it directly
var targetUrl = $(this).data('target-url') || 'https://example.com';
// Navigate to the URL
window.location.href = targetUrl;
});
});
DO NOT DO THIS.
Even if it wasn't a bad idea because you'd have to do it for every 👏 single👏 column👏, it can cause accessibility issues. Without having a semantically clickable element, there's no target for assistive technology.

I'm using it for Anchor ID, & it works for me :)
@RichardNesbitt everything works fine in the backend, but frontend-wise the column is still not clickable :/
WPB Version 6.4.2
Hi I am trying to get this to work for me. I am able to add the link in the back end, but it is not working in the front end. I may be putting the second lot of code in the wrong place? I cannot find [your-theme]/vc_templates/ */. I found this which I hoped was the same thing
Jevelin: Visual Composer Compatibility(beta!) Page Template (page-vc.php).
Where do I find vc_templates? I tried theme file editor in wordpress and I searched the files on cpanel
Or is there an easier way??
Im am just winging it, any help would be appreciated!!!
@jennyLupo i just pasted both vc files in the theme root folder, since i also dont have any /vc_templates/ folder. maybe that might also be the issue for me.
my theme is bought of envato.
Hi,
after adding your php files, my wordpress is all messed up. i can add links to columns, but after updating and reloading the page they are gone again and dont get saved. also in the wpbakery page builder, all images have the missing image thumbnail, although they are still there and shown in the frontend. when i want to change an image, the media browser is empty. i removed all php files again but its still broken.
