How to Add a Full Box Link to the Infobox in WordPress?

Key Takeaways

  • Nexter Blocks Infobox works in the Free edition and in Nexter Blocks Pro, and the block is enabled under Nexter > Blocks in the WordPress dashboard.
  • Full Box Link makes the entire Infobox card clickable, covering the card’s full width and height on a published page, while turning it off leaves only the title clickable.
  • Infobox uses one destination per box, so the Link field must contain a URL and a second link inside the same card creates a nested-link problem.
Table of Contents

People click cards, not headings. A feature box that only responds on its title text feels broken to anyone who aims at the icon or the description.

Full Box Link turns the whole card into one link target.

For every Infobox setting in one place, see the Infobox feature guide.

Before You Start

  • Edition: Free — the Infobox block works in Nexter Blocks (free) and with Nexter Blocks Pro.
  • Block to enable: Infobox, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.

Steps

  1. Add the Infobox block and fill in its title and description.
  1. Enter the destination in the block’s Link field.
  1. Switch Full Box Link on.
  1. Check on the published page that the whole card responds, not just the heading.

Full Box Link changes how much of the box is clickable. Measured: with it on, the link element covers the whole card — exactly the card’s width and height; with it off, only the title is a link.

How It Behaves

Full Box LinkMeasured on a published page
OnThe link element covers the entire card — exactly the card’s width and height — so a click anywhere on it follows the link.
OffOnly the title is a link, measured at the width and height of the heading text alone.
  • The destination is the same field either way; the toggle only changes how much of the card uses it.
  • A full box link makes the whole card one target, which is usually what a reader expects from a feature card.
  • Because the card becomes a single link, avoid putting a second, different link inside the same box.

Limitations

  • One destination per box — the whole card points at a single URL.
  • Do not put a second link inside a full-box-linked card; nested links are invalid and browsers handle them unpredictably.
  • The toggle needs a URL to be useful — with an empty Link field there is nothing to click through to.
  • Screen-reader users hear the whole card as one link, so keep the title meaningful on its own.

Troubleshooting

Only the heading is clickable

Full Box Link is off. Measured with it off, the link is just the title; with it on, it covers the whole card.

Nothing happens when I click the card

Check the Link field actually has a URL in it — the toggle changes the clickable area, not the destination.

My button inside the box stopped working

That is a nested link. Turn Full Box Link off if the card needs its own separate button.

Related Frequently Asked Questions

Why is only the heading clickable in my Infobox card?

That usually means Full Box Link is off. With it off, the link area is measured at the width and height of the heading text alone, so clicks on the icon or description do nothing. Nexter Blocks makes the whole card clickable only when Full Box Link is switched on, which is why this setting matters for card-style layouts.

How do I make the whole Infobox card clickable instead of just the title?

The key change is turning on Full Box Link after you add a URL in the block’s Link field. In Nexter Blocks, that expands the clickable area to the full card, measured as the card’s width and height on a published page. That matters because people naturally click cards anywhere, not just on the title text.

What should I do if clicking the Infobox card does nothing?

The usual cause is an empty Link field. Full Box Link only changes how much of the box is clickable, not where it goes, so there has to be a destination URL in that field first. On a published page, the whole card should respond once both pieces are in place.

Can I keep a button inside an Infobox if Full Box Link is enabled?

A full-box-linked card should not contain a second, different link inside it. The page calls that a nested link, and browsers handle it unpredictably. If the box needs its own separate button, Full Box Link should be turned off so the button can work as its own target.

What do I need before enabling Full Box Link in Nexter Blocks?

The Infobox block needs to be available in Nexter Blocks, which works in both Free and Pro editions. The page also says to switch Infobox on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard before using it. That setup matters because Full Box Link only applies to an actual Infobox block with a destination URL.

When should I use Full Box Link on an Infobox card?

Use it when you want a feature card to behave like one clear target instead of forcing people to hit only the title. The page notes that readers expect cards to respond when they click anywhere on them. For related layouts, see the Infobox feature guide, Image box, and Infobox carousel.
