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 :/

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.
