Elementor Image Carousel link nonfunction

Hi, @dixonds.

Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you specify where the Image Carousel is being used on the page?

Looking forward to your reply.

Yes, thank you. The carousel is at https://dixonsforum.com/index.php/about-me/

Hi, @dixonds.

Thank you for your reply.

This isn’t supported at the moment due to security reasons. You can refer to the following Github thread for more details and possible workarounds: https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/11460#issuecomment-633466895.

In addition, custom code is not supported via this channel. For custom code inquiries, you can post on our Github page. Please note that this is not an official support channel but a respective member of the development team will respond to your post as soon as they are available. Please follow this guide which outlines the steps required to post on our Github: https://github.com/elementor/elementor/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md

Thank you, aracelil.?? So, to be clear, you are saying that, while there is a box in the Edit Image Carousel settings for entering a link, the Image Carousel really does not support any linking, correct??? For security reasons, we can’t set up our Image Carousel to link, right?

I have no idea what you mean by “custom code is not supported via this channel”.?? What is the custom code??? The link??? What is the “this channel”??? The box in the Edit Image Carousel??? Please clarify bearing in mind that 90% of the technical terminology is very fuzzy to beginners like me, despite hours of looking up every buzzword I encounter along the way.

warm wishes

Thank you for the clue to the workaround.?? I am not sure this will work for my situation as I am using just a plain image for the link, not a button widget per se.?? But, assuming it would work the same way for both, I am in need of further guidance, as this is all unexplored territory for me; like some commentators on the above-provided github thread, I chose WordPress and Elementor because of the No-Coding-Needed language in their descriptions documents.

??? I have a vague idea of what “Set a class” means but not really sure how or where to do it.

??? I don’t know what header/footer to add the JS code into, but pretty sure it’s not the Header or Footer Template Part.

??? “Make sure your document was loaded” leaves me wondering what ‘document’ means, what ‘loaded’ means, and how to go about making sure a document is loaded.

Will you please explain these concepts and/or point me toward some resources that can help me understand??? Meanwhile I will try a different workaround.?? Is there a way to put a valid supported link to a page that then automatically implements the ‘Javascript:window.history.back();’, transparently to the site visitors?

Thank you and warm regards,

I re-read that GitHub forum thread a couple times and decided to try my hand at adding the code to the page header/footer, when I found there is no code editor available when editing with Elementor.?? I tried opening the page with just “Edit” and the code editor shows a blank slate.

Some of the people in that thread said they had added the code to their header/footer, but how??? How do you edit the code when you can’t even see it?
