A user sought to make slideshow images fully clickable without adding buttons in the Craft theme.
Solution Provided:
slideshow.liquid fileOutcomes:
The discussion remains open with an unresolved edge case where the clickable link functionality doesn’t work as intended for at least one user.
Hello,
I tried out a couple different codes I found from last year folks were asking about on here but they did not work. I don’t want to place a button over my slideshow images, is there a way to make the whole image clickable so it can link to my products?

Here is the code for Slideshow Images A Clickable Link Without Using A Button – Craft Theme
