Make slideshow clickable on Sense Theme

[OliviaAnn]

Hi, I have read some tutorials on how to add add links to the slideshow images on older themes or dawn theme, but the same code does not work for sense theme. How can I make the slideshow images clickable on sense theme?

Hi thank you! Is there a way to adjust this code to make it work with the Sense theme slideshow liquid code?

Hello there  

If you are using a full image with a CTA button in the image  you can use this to make the whole image clickable  

{{ 'section-image-banner.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-slider.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-slideshow.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
