How can I make image banners clickable in Sense theme?

Store Design

Topic summary

A boutique store owner is trying to make image banners on their homepage clickable to link to specific collections in the Shopify Sense theme. Multiple users are experiencing the same issue and requesting help.

Current situation:

  • The original poster shared their store URL (willow-and-poppy.myshopify.com)
  • Several community members asked for the image-banner.liquid file code to diagnose the problem
  • One user shared their complete image-banner section code, which includes CSS styling and configuration options but appears to lack clickable link functionality

Key technical details:

  • The shared code shows banner styling, image height settings, overlay opacity controls, and desktop content positioning options
  • The code snippet focuses on visual presentation rather than link/URL functionality
  • Users are asking how to edit the code and save changes properly

Status: The discussion remains unresolved, with participants waiting for guidance on implementing clickable banner functionality in the Sense theme’s image-banner.liquid file.
