Newspaper Visual Composer Slide Element link not working

Posted in: Newspaper

I created a front page with my newspaper theme. It is the latest version (4.3) and WP 4.0.

I used an element in the visual composer called “Slide.” It creates a single image in the block, tied to a category of posts. The element appears on the front page. The image is there, along with the title of the post, category, date etc.

The title of the element links correctly to the article because I manually set it in the element settings. This works for now only because I have it limited to one article. But that manual link won’t work if there are two or three articles showing in the slideshow.

But the image itself and the title of the post are not hyperlinked correctly. They appear to be hyperlinked if you hover over them with your mouse. And the URL showing at the bottom of the browser when hovering is correct. But the link will not work.

Top left image is the one.

I can provide login credentials privately if needed.

Hi,

We know about this issue which happens when using the Google Analytics by Yoast plugin.
I have checked your site and noticed that you also use it: http://screencast.com/t/nPwcvBm0jvyl
We have already wrote to plugins author so we can find a solution for this, you can also write to their support page: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/google-analytics-for-wordpress
We are trying to fix this but unfortunately is more difficult than we initially tooth. You can deactivate the plugin in order to make links work and until we find a solution for this.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks for the message!

Thanks. I turned it off and just dropped the GA embed code into your theme’s place for it. Works fine!
