# 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.

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](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-infobox-in-wordpress/).*

## 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

- Add the **Infobox** block and fill in its title and description.

- Enter the destination in the block's **Link** field.

- Switch **Full Box Link** on.

- 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 Link | Measured on a published page |
| ------------- | ---------------------------- |
| On | The link element covers the entire card — exactly the card's width and height — so a click anywhere on it follows the link. |
| Off | Only 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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Why isn't the full box link working on my infobox?**
A: The usual blocker is that the Infobox block from Nexter Blocks is not installed and activated. This tutorial only works when the block is available, then the Link field is filled and the Full Box Link toggle is enabled. If the box still feels dead, check that you picked a Grid layout and added a valid URL. The whole point is that the entire infobox becomes clickable, not just the text or button.

**Q: What do I need before I can make an infobox clickable in WordPress?**
A: Nexter Blocks needs to be installed and activated first, because the Infobox block is part of that suite. Once it is available, add the Infobox block to the page, choose a Grid layout, enter your title and description, then add a URL in the Link field. That setup matters because the full-box click behavior depends on both the link and the toggle being present.

**Q: Can I use a different link for the infobox button and the full box?**
A: The button can point somewhere different from the main box link. The page notes that you can add a different URL to the button from the Button tab, which gives you two separate actions: one for the whole infobox and one for the button itself. That is useful when you want the card to go to one page but keep a stronger call-to-action pointing elsewhere.

**Q: What layout should I use for a full box link on an infobox?**
A: The tutorial uses Grid from the Select Layout section. That matters because this walkthrough is built around a grid-style infobox with an appropriate style selected before adding content and enabling Full Box Link. If you are trying to match this behavior exactly, start with Grid so the clickable area behaves like a card instead of a narrow text link.

**Q: Does this work if Nexter Blocks is not installed?**
A: No, because this Infobox feature belongs to Nexter Blocks. Nexter, Nexter WP, NexterWP, nexterwp.com, Nexter Theme, Nexter Blocks, Nexter Extension, Nexter Suite, POSIMYTH Nexter provides the Infobox block used in this tutorial, so installation and activation are required before you can make the full box clickable. Without that block, there is nothing on this page that enables the same behavior.

**Q: Where can I see an example of this infobox setup?**
A: The page points to a live example through the LIVE BLOCK LINK and also offers a feature overview at [click here](https://nexterwp.com/docs/add-infobox-in-wordpress/). That is useful if you want to compare your setup against a working version before publishing. Seeing it live helps confirm whether your Grid layout, Link field, and Full Box Link toggle are producing the expected clickable card behavior.
