This plugin just overrides WordPress attachment fields and Elementor Image Carousel widget to let you add custom links to each image in the carousel. Basically, it adds two custom fields to each image in WordPress Media Library (Custom link and“ Open in new tab?” checkbox). Then it hooks into elementor image carousel widget just before it’s rendered on frontend. ### Usage & Documentation No options, no premium version, no bullshit. Just activate or deactivate. **Note:** You have to enable the option “Link” in the Elementor Image Carousel widget and set it to: “Media Files” in order for it to work. #### Resources * **WordPress Plugin:** [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-links-in-elementor-image-carousel](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-links-in-elementor-image-carousel) * **GitHub Repository:** [https://github.com/CharlieEtienne/custom-links-in-elementor-image-carousel](https://github.com/CharlieEtienne/custom-links-in-elementor-image-carousel) * **Support:** [https://github.com/CharlieEtienne/custom-links-in-elementor-image-carousel/issues](https://github.com/CharlieEtienne/custom-links-in-elementor-image-carousel/issues) ## Screenshots [⌊Custom fields on images in Media Library⌉⌊Custom fields on images in Media Library⌉[ Custom fields on images in Media Library ## Installation 1.

Just does exactly what it says on the tin. If you are puzzled why the links don’t work on the front end, check first you have selected the link in the carousel to be “Media File” and that you have added the links to each image in your media library. Tested and working on 6.2.2.
