Changing the card-collection snippet link

[maximilllllian]

Hello, I am trying to change the link on the card-collection template to allow for a custom link to be inserted into the block of the "collection-list.liquid" section. Since the collection list section renders the card-collection template, I know I have to edit the code in the card-collection.liquid file. Some guidance would be helpful. 

Here's the link to my store: https://central-coast-juicery.myshopify.com/?preview_theme_id=123396620386 

On the bottom of the home page, I am trying to change the link of the collection list section.

Hi @maximilllllian,

Please go to collection-list.liquid file and change all code:

{{ 'section-collection-list.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-card.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ 'component-slider.css' | asset_url }}" media="print" onload="this.media='all'">
<noscript>{{ 'component-slider.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}</noscript>

{%- style -%}

    padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
  }

  @media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
    .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
      padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
      padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
    }
  }
