Reviews
what people actually sayMake Column Clickable for Elementor is a well-liked niche utility that fills a genuine gap in Elementor's feature set, but it has been abandoned since 2019 and carries a serious warning about non-standard database storage that can corrupt sites.

- +Supports link options such as nofollow via a settings cog next to the URL field
Common complaints

- −Not compatible with WPML, making it unsuitable for multilingual sites
- −No native 'open in new tab' option on right-click context menu×2
