Shopify themes, liquid, logos, and UX
One customization request that our team has seen a lot of demand for is making the slideshow of a theme clickable. In this guide, we will go through the necessary steps to achieve this by adding some code to the Slideshow theme file. The result will have your slideshow going from this:
To this:
Step One: Edit Your Theme Code:
Go to Online Store > Current Theme > Actions > Edit Code.
Debut:
<div id="slickSlide-{{ block.id }}"
On older versions of Debut it may be <div class="slideshow__slide slideshow__slide--{{ block.id }}" {{ block.shopify_attributes }}>
3. Add this snippet of code right below it:
<style>
.slide__link {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 9;
}
</style>
<a class="slide__link" href="{{ block.settings.button_link }}"></a>
4 Click Save.
Narrative:
<style>
.slide__link {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 9;
}
{% if cta == blank %}
.slideshow__heading-cta.btn {
display: none;
}
{% endif %}
</style>
<a href="{{ block.settings.cta_link }}" class="slide__link"></a>
3. Click Save.
Minimal:
<style>
.slide__link {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
}
</style>
<a class="slide__link" href="{{ block.settings.button_link }}"></a>
3. Click Save.
Brooklyn, Boundless, and Simple:
<style>
.slide__link {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 9;
}
</style>
<a class="slide__link" href="{{ block.settings.button_link }}"></a>
Venture:
<style>
.slide__link {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 999999;
}
.hero-content__controls {
width: fit-content;
}
</style>
<a class="slide__link" href="{{ block.settings.button_link }}"></a>
<a class="slide__link" href="{{ block.settings.button_link }}"></a>
Step 2: Add your link to your slideshow:
Once you have finished editing your code you will be ready to add your link to your slideshow. To do so, go to Online Store > Themes > Customize > Slideshow and click on an image block. You will then be able to add the link under ‘Button link’.
Click Save.

I am unable to find <img after I open slideshow.liquid ,
I am using Brooklyn theme.
Please help
Hey there, @chokhahaar ! If you are using the Brooklyn theme you should be able to find it using the "Find" keyboard shortcut. This guide details how to do so.
All the Best,
Bo

I did not find any search results for <img
Hey again! You will need to have clicked into the code for it to search the file. Click anywhere within the slideshow.liquid and then use your find shortcut to search for <img
All the Best,
Bo

thankyou so much your code has sorted the slideshow images for me, is there any chance you can help me with this header overlapping the slide show issue.
my website url is https://chokhahaar.com/
Hey there, @chokhahaar
Please create a new topic in the Design board for this issue. This tutorial and thread is specifically for making the slideshow clickable, we do not want to populate the thread with posts and questions that are not directly related.
All the Best,

can use this code another theme like 3rd party theme it's works
I followed your steps but does not function for DEBUT THEME, please check if i added it in the right place?
The button is displaying even after adding the code
I tried the same thing as "Soon" in the Debut Theme and unfortunately it did not work. Is this the correct place?
Edit: It works. However, each slide is clickable now, even if no link is stored. This is normal, isn't it?
Hey there, @readytocry!
That is the expected behavior, yes!
All the Best,
Bo

i need a code like this for DAWN theme
Were you able to find this?
@diego_ezfy posted the code in this thread and it worked for me:
Thanks @Diego_ezfy!
This is the tutorial to make dawn clickable:
https://ezfycode.com/blog/dawn-theme-clickable-banner-tutorial
Hi - did you get a resolution for this? I am having the same issue. I left a new comment but did exactly what you did and there is no button field that shows up.
hey, which theme are you trying to use it on?
debut
Can you provide a solution for this?
NVM. thanks for this forum!
Is there a way to apply this to a custom content image? I'd love for all of my images (including text columns with images) to be clickable.
Hey there, @mrdetente !
This is not something that is currently supported by our themes team, however, I would recommend starting a new topic in the Design Forum to see if there are any developers out there that can help you with this. I would recommend checking out our Help Us Help You post before you post your query to make sure that you are providing all the relevant information that a developer will need.
All the Best,
Bo

hi! thanks for this code! it worked for my image banner, but do you have a fix for the slideshow? right now, it's only clickable if i create/add a shopify button. the "button" that i wanna use is a part of my slide image design.
thanks a lot for the tutorial very helpful.
is their a way to make the subheading of the slideshow also clickable?
Hi There
Thanks for this. I noticed that for my mobile version, the slider buttons are not very well integrated with the image - it appears below each image - please see below. Is there a way to modify the slider buttons so that they appear centred and to the left and right of each image, whilst of course removing the white background and the tiny circle sliders?
Hello @Bo ,
thanks for this, nice job!
I need the same function but instead on slideshow images I want to make the image in my hero liquid clickable?
So I don´t need a button anymore.
I am using the debut theme. Can you help me?
Thanks!
Nicolas
Hey there, @NicolasMaverde
Bo here from Shopify Support!
I would recommend posting this query in its own thread in the design board so more people will be able to see it and assist with it. Make sure to read Help Us Help You before posting.
All the Best,
Bo

Hi Bo!
I used your guide and pasted the code below where you said - it definitely made the slideshow clickable, however it is clickable no matter what - even without an image or a link, you can still click on the slideshow and it reloads the page.
I don't necessarily want all of my slideshow pictures to be clickable, is there way to make it so it only has a link if you add a link url to the field?
Thanks,
Hi! Would you be able to provide the code to make the slideshow clickable on the Dawn theme?
Were you able to find this?
Hey, thank you for your great tutorial. I have added the code, but when clicking on the slider image it will always reload the homepage. No matter what button link i am using. Can you help me with that? Thank you.
hello @Bo
Thank you for your tutorial. I tested and works perfectly with Debut theme.
But when I switch to my favourite "Craft" theme and want to apply for the same approach, the coding is however totally different. Could you kindly advise?
Many thanks!

Hi - I tried this for the debut theme and it didn't work. I saw someone else tried using it for the debut theme too and it didn't work. Mine was pasted in the same spot as his in the picture he shared. Any suggestions?
This worked amazingly!!! I just wish I knew how to do this for image banners
Hello,
I am using the free "refresh" theme.
Is there a procedure to succeed for this theme?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Is it possible to have updated coding for the new Shopify "Ride" theme?
Thanks
How can I implement this with 2.0 Sense theme?
How can I add this feature to the Dawn theme?
I did this with the theme "fashe". However, I couldn't find the img or div so I had to put it under a different section. While I made the slideshow clickable, I can't figure out where to link it because it didn't add a "button link" option on the theme. Any suggestions? My shop is "nainaandnoor.com". Thank you!
