How to Make an Entire Div Collection Clickable to Reach the Specified Collection Page in Webflow

To make an entire div collection clickable in Webflow, you can utilize the link block feature. Follow the steps below:

  1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the desired page where you want to create the clickable div collection.

  2. Drag and drop a div block onto the canvas or select an existing div block on the page to convert it.

  3. Within the div block, add the collection list component. To do this, go to the Add Panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow designer, search for "collection list" and then drag it onto the div block.

  4. Style the div block as desired, including its dimensions, background color, text alignment, and other visual aspects. Ensure that the collection list fits neatly within the div block.

  5. With the collection list still selected, go to the Collection settings in the right-hand sidebar under the Settings tab. Choose the desired collection from the dropdown menu and configure other settings as required.

  6. Inside the collection list, you can design and customize how each item will look using collection item elements. This can include text, images, buttons, or any other content you wish to display.

  7. Select the collection item that you want to make clickable and wrap it in a link block. To do this, select the desired element, such as an image or text, and press the "Wrap in Link" button in the top toolbar. Alternatively, you can right-click the element and choose the "Wrap with Link" option.

  8. Configure the link block's settings and destination URL. In the right-hand sidebar, under the Element settings, you can set the link type and destination. For example, you can select "Current collection item" to link to the specific item's individual page or use custom links if desired.

  9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for all the collection items you want to make clickable within the div collection.

  10. Preview and test your webpage. Clicking on each collection item within the div block should now take you to the specified collection page.

How to Make Some Collection Items Clickable and Others Not in Webflow

If you want to make only specific collection items clickable within a collection list in Webflow, but leave others as non-clickable, you can follow these steps:

  1. Start by adding a collection list to your page, as mentioned in the previous answer.

  2. Customize the layout and design of the collection list, including the collection item elements.

  3. Select the collection item you want to make clickable and wrap it in a link block, as explained earlier.

  4. For the collection items you want to keep non-clickable, you can simply leave them as regular elements without wrapping them in a link block.

  5. Preview and test your webpage. The clickable collection items will lead to their specified destination, while the non-clickable items will remain static, serving as display-only elements within the collection list.

By following these steps, you can easily make an entire div collection clickable to reach the specified collection page in Webflow, as well as choose which collection items should be clickable and which should not.
